A UV flare at the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4552
- Abstract:
-
A self-consistent analysis of near-UV, HST/FOC images of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4552 is used to show that its central spike has brightened by a factor similar to 4.5 between 1991 and 1993, and has decreased its luminositv by a factor similar to 2.0 between 1993 and 1996. A strong UV continuum over the energy distribution of the underlying galaxy is concurrently revealed shortward of lambda similar to 3200 Angstrom by our FOS spectra extending from the near-UV to red wavelengths. Nuclear em...
