Near Infrared Imaging of the Merger Candidate NGC 1052
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Extract
NGC 1052 is a flat-spectrum radio elliptical exhibiting a characteristic low excitation LINER spectrum. Independent evidence, such as extensive and infalling HI gas, and misalignment of the stellar and ionized gas components, suggest a merger has occurred. Optical CCD imaging reveals the presence of dust and a spiral morphology for the Hα emission (see Forbes, Sparks and Macchetto 1990). The X-ray luminosity is consistent with a hot gaseous halo in which a cooling flow is claimed to be operating (Thomas et al. 1986).
