Kinematic Information

Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) and globular clusters (GCs) are complementary tools for obtaining kinematic information on stellar populations in the outer halos elliptical galaxies. NGC 5128, as the nearest large elliptical (D ~ 3.5 Mpc), is an excellent galaxy for halo studies. We have now identified a total of 1140 PNe, and possess radial velocities for 736 PNe at distances out to 80 and 50 kpc along the photometric axes. There is clear evidence for kinematic axis twisting (triaxiality) in the PNe velocity field. The mass of NGC 5128 continues to rise out to 80 kpc, where M(< 80 kpc) ~ 6.4 x 1011M⊙ with M80/LB ~ 20. We also conducted a new survey for GCs out to 50 and 30 kpc, and now have radial velocities for 188 GCs (125 new). Both the red and blue GC systems exhibit rotation. The red (metal-rich) GCs share a misaligned kinematic axis with the PNe. The success of this survey bodes well for future galaxy halo studies.

We have studied a sample of 26 globular clusters for which so far absolute proper motions exist in the literature. The proper motions were combined with distances and radial velocities for a determination of the space motion of the clusters. Using different galactic potentials (see Dauphole & Colin 1994 and references therein) we calculated the orbits of the globular clusters and their time averaged eccentricities, total energies, and apo- and perigalactic distances. The relation of the orbital quantities to the metallicities of the globular clusters has been studied. Preliminary results of this study were presented in Geffert et al. (1993).
