Implications for the origin of early-type dwarf galaxies – the discovery of rotation in isolated, low-mass early-type galaxies
- Abstract:
-
We present the discovery of rotation in quenched, low-mass early-type galaxies that are isolated. This finding challenges the claim that (all) rotating dwarf early-type galaxies in clusters were once spiral galaxies that have since been harassed and transformed into earlytype galaxies. Our search of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data within the Local Volume (z < 0.02) has yielded a sample of 46 galaxies with a stellar mass M*≲ 5 × 109M⊙(median M*~ 9.29 × 108M⊙), a low Hα equivalent width EW...
