Kinematics of globulars in NGC 5128

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

New radial velocity measurements for previously known and newly confirmed globular clusters (GCs) in the nearby massive galaxy NGC 5128 are presented.

Description

We have obtained spectroscopy from LDSS-2/Magellan, VIMOS/Very Large Telescope, and HYDRA/Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory from which we have measured the radial velocities of 218 known, and identified 155 new, GCs. The current sample of confirmed GCs in NGC 5128 is now 605 with 563 of these having radial velocity measurements, the second largest kinematic database for any galaxy.

We have performed a new kinematic analysis of the GC system that extends out to 45' in galactocentric radius. We have examined the systemic velocity, projected rotation amplitude and axis, and the projected velocity dispersion of the GCs as functions of galactocentric distance and metallicity.
