Dust distribution in the shell elliptical NGC 5982 Seminar 14 December 2007 Carlos del Burgo

Shell galaxies (Malin & Carter 1980, 1983) are elliptical galaxies with faint, sharp edged features in their envelopes, generally interpreted as the remnants of mergers of low mass, low velocity dispersion galaxies with the elliptical (Quinn 1984, Hernquist & Quinn 1988) ISM in shell ellipticals: mostly X-ray emitting gas, some warm and cold gas and dust; ~70 % with HI gas (Morganti et al. 2006); ~70 % with warm gas (Sarzi et al. 2006); ~28 % with CO gas (Combes et al. 2007); bulk of dust traced by FIR: M  (Temi et al. 2004, 2007) Introduction

Shells R-band 3.6 µm Del Burgo et al. 2008

Shell profiles Shells are bluer than the underlying galaxy: V-I=1.16±0.10 mag (shell), 1.25 mag (underlying galaxy) [3.6]-[4.5]=-0.13 ±0.01 mag, mag (underlying galaxy) Metal-poor Younger stellar population Different dust properties Del Burgo et al. 2008

Results and interpretation Shells are clearly detected from their stellar emission at 3.6 and 4.5 µm. V-I and [3.6]-[4.5] colours bluer than underlying galaxy. Two new external shells  estimated dynamical age ~ years Excess emission possibly trace dust originated by stellar mass loss 24 µm and 3.6 µm are very similar: circumstellar origin Warm and cold dust traced by 70 and 160 µm: mass of 105 M and irregular distributions, not coincident with Eastern HI cloud but consistent in mass (Morganti et al. 2006), not coincident with warm gas (Sarzi et al. 2006). + Presence of KDC. All this supports a merger scenario in NGC 5982
