Dwarf early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster: internal dynamics, stellar populations

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2023-06-16 v1

Abstract

We present preliminary results from our spectroscopic survey of low-luminosity early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster conducted with the Binospec spectrograph at the 6.5~m MMT. From spatially-resolved profiles of internal kinematics and stellar population properties complemented with high-resolution images, we placed several low-luminosity dEs on the fundamental plane in the low-luminosity extension of the available literature data. We also discovered unusual kpc-sized kinematically-decoupled cores in several dwarf galaxies, which had been probably formed before these galaxies entered the cluster.
