OBSERVATION OF SMALLER SCALE ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES;\\ DARK MATTER DISTRIBUTION AND SN HEATING


ABSTRACT

We propose to observe smaller scale elliptical galaxies, NGC 1549 and NGC 4494.The purpose of the proposal is to determine temperature and gas distribution of the galaxies to study the dependence of dark matter distribution in elliptical galaxies on stellar velocity dispersion. We also study the effect of SN Ia heating in elliptical galaxies.
