3 Globular Clusters as Dynamical Tracers Traditional Tracers in Giant Ellipticals No neutral gas no HI 21 cm rotation curves No ongoing star formation no Hα rotation curves High central surface brightness optical spectroscopy BUT limited to the central parts (steep luminosity proles) Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 3 / 16
4 Globular Clusters as Dynamical Tracers Traditional Tracers in Giant Ellipticals No neutral gas no HI 21 cm rotation curves No ongoing star formation no Hα rotation curves High central surface brightness optical spectroscopy BUT limited to the central parts (steep luminosity proles) Discrete Dynamical Tracers Planetary Nebulae (PNe) Globular Clusters (GCs) Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 3 / 16
5 Globular Clusters as Dynamical Tracers Traditional Tracers in Giant Ellipticals No neutral gas no HI 21 cm rotation curves No ongoing star formation no Hα rotation curves High central surface brightness optical spectroscopy BUT limited to the central parts (steep luminosity proles) Discrete Dynamical Tracers Planetary Nebulae (PNe) Globular Clusters (GCs) Aim: Use observed σ los (R) to obtain mass prole from Jeans models Comparison to Xray based mass estimates But: Large number of velocities required to obtain σ los (R) Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 3 / 16
6 Globular Clusters as Dynamical Tracers Globular Cluster Systems of Giant Ellipticals Large numbers of GCs (up to 10 4 ) Spatially extended systems Bimodal colour distribution predominantly old stellar populations two subpopulations with dierent metallicities: blue (metalpoor) & red (metalrich) GCs Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 4 / 16
7 Globular Clusters as Dynamical Tracers Globular Cluster Systems of Giant Ellipticals Large numbers of GCs (up to 10 4 ) Spatially extended systems Bimodal colour distribution predominantly old stellar populations two subpopulations with dierent metallicities: blue (metalpoor) & red (metalrich) GCs Blue GCs spatially more extended higher velocity dispersion Red GCs more concentrated towards host galaxy lower velocity dispersion Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 4 / 16
8 Globular Clusters as Dynamical Tracers Observational Methods 1 Wideeld Photometry Galaxy luminosity prole GC number density proles (for both populations) Candidate selection for spectroscopy 2 Long slit spectroscopy Galaxy velocity dispersion prole Υ 3 Multiobject spectroscopy with masks GC velocities Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 5 / 16
9 Jeans Models The spherical nonrotating Jeans Equation: d ( l(r) σr(r) 2 ) + 2 β(r) l(r) σ 2 dr r r(r) = l(r) G M(r) r 2 l(r) spatial distribution of tracer population σ(r) radial velocity dispersion. β(r) anisotropy parameter. β 1 σ θ 2 σ 2 r M(r) total enclosed mass (M(r) = M + M dark ) Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 6 / 16
10 Jeans Models The LineofSight Velocity Dispersion For constant β, the solution to the Jeans Eqn. reads: l(r) σ 2 r(r) = G R r l(r ) M(r ) 1 r 2 ( ) r 2β dr. The projected velocity dispersion is given by: [ N(R) σlos 2 (R) = 2 lσr 2 r r 2 R dr β lσ 2 ] 2 R2 r r r 2 R dr. 2 Mass Anisotropy Degeneracy The prole σ los (R) can be nearly invariant between changes in the mass prole M(r) and the anisotropy parameter β(r).

24 Conclusions NGC 4636 appears to be MONDian NGC 1399 might be MONDian, mass models strongly depend on the treatment of 'interlopers' in the velocity data. More detailed modelling required, including dierent choices for µ(x) Y. Schuberth (AIfA) Strasbourg 14 / 16
