5 Peng, 2010: Sérsic Profiles Conselice, 2006: Red Sequence + Blue Cloud Dressler, 1980: Morphology-Density Relation Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan

6 APOD – dust lane Knapp (1999) – connects cold gas and dust Ellipticals: originally no observed cold gas – hot (10 6 - 10 7 K) ionised gas – dust destroyed in situ (sputtering) (EINSTEIN, ROSAT, ASCA observations) Adding some stardust Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan

7 Planck Function: ISM Emission Radio = cold neutral gas FIR/sub-mm = cold dust MIR = warm dust Optical/UV = stellar light = HII emission X-ray = hot ionised gas Hartigan, Palmer & Cleeves (2012)

8 Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan Hierarchical Formation? Georgakakis et al (2001) – dust masses don’t come from old stars Scenario: Elliptical with no interactions within sputtering timescale ≈ 10 7 – 10 8 years = no dust!! Questions: E’s with significant dust masses not yet achieved massive end-stage Elliptical status? Can dust be used as a smoking gun? Shabala et al (2012) – dusty ETGs have higher SFRs

20 Dust in Galaxies Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan  Single component – isothermal fitting o Modified BB equation with β=2.0 (Draine & Li, 2007) o Fit galaxies with SPIRE emission ≥ 3σ o Dust mass and temperature – K = k-correction – D L = luminosity distance – κ 250 = absorption coefficient = 0.89m 2 kg -1 (Dunne et al, 2011) Dust Mass:

21 Modified Blackbody Fits

22 Isothermal Fitting Results Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan 3σ sample T d,mean 22.1K T d,range 9-30K M d,mean 1.8×10 7 M  M d,range (0.08-35) ×10 7 M 

23 Problems with isothermal fitting  1 component  Try two/multi-component fitting  Only outputs dust mass & temperature  Fit other wavebands  What if collisional heating contributes?  Use dust templates Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan

24 SED Template Fits Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan  Multiple components – Radiative Heating  Diffuse radiation field template  PDR/HII radiation template  Additional component – Collisional Heating Fischera et al (2011), Natale et al (2010)

25 SED Template Fits Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan  Multiple components – Radiative Heating  Diffuse radiation field template  Dust heated by the diffuse ISRF in galaxy  Dust comp: graphite, silicates & PAHs  Fits vary intensity & colour of radiation field  Quantifies emission heated by old/young stellar populations  Dust emission calculated taking into account the stochastic fluctuations of dust grains Fischera et al (2011), Natale et al (2010)

32 Preliminary Results Nicky AgiusLunchtime Talk – St-AndrewsJeremiah Horrocks Institute

33 In Conclusion Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan  Two groups of ETGs: – 1. High M d /M , low n, blue NUV-r – 2. Low M d /M , high n, red NUV-r  Suggests younger population of ETGs which will continue to evolve – but no M * diff.  The geometrical distribution of dust in these ETGs could help identify how they are evolving.

34 Bulge-Disk Decomposition Nicky Agius Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, UCLan  Ideal for separating Es from S0s  Lackner & Gunn (2012) performed B+D for SDSS galaxies up to z=0.05  SDSS image quality not high enough for B+D up to z=0.4 - Waiting for VST/VISTA Lackner & Gunn (2012)
