	Elliptical galaxy NGC 3379=M105 and companion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The bright elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 (M105) in Leo, from a 5-minute blue-light exposure with a Tektronix 2048x2048 CCD at the 2.1-meter telescope of Kitt Peak National Observatory by Bill Keel and Lisa Frattare.
		NGC 3379 is a well-observed galaxy, long used as a standard reference object for surface photometry.
		Recent observations of planetary-nebula dynamics have given the intriguing result that NGC 3379 is deficient in dark matter compared to most galaxies of its luminosity.

		The spatial analysis on the MECS data indicates that the distribution of the hard emission in the four galaxies observed with BeppoSAX is different in different cases: NGC 1553 is clearly extended, while NGC 3379 is most likely dominated by a nuclear source.
		For three sources (NGC 1407, NGC 1553 and NGC 4125) the data require a two component spectrum, with a soft and a hard component, although neither can be determined with high accuracy.
		Both NGC 3115 and NGC 3379 data instead could be parameterized by a power law spectrum, consistent with a significant contribution from a nuclear source.

		This system has long been regarded as a dynamically ordinary elliptical that rotates slowly about its apparent minor axis, though it has also been suspected on photometric grounds of being a nearly face-on S0.
		We assess the dynamical evidence for the presence of a hidden disk in NGC 3379.

		The Kitt Peak data for NGC 3379 were obtained under non-photometric conditions and are excluded from the final analysis.
		In both NGC 3379 datasets, there is a tendency to have fainter fluctuations in the center of the galaxy (Sodeman and Thomsen 1995).

	The M96 group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Sc galaxy NGC 3389, which is in the same field and close to M105, is probably a background galaxy, as its redshift corresponds to a receding velocity of 1138 km/sec, whereas the members of the Leo I group have radial velocities of only 449..766 km/sec.
		From the distance derived here, it is possible to gauge a diameter-velocity dispersion-relation for elliptical galaxies, namely by using the galaxies M105 and NGC 3377.
		By the relation obtained for this, the distance of the Virgo and Coma clusters of galaxies could be estimated; one obtains a distance of 18.3+/-2.0 Mpc (60+/-6 million light years) for the Virgo cluster, and of 105+/-11 Mpc (~340 million light years) for the Coma cluster of galaxies.

	Messier Object 105 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		M105 is the brightest elliptical galaxy in the Leo I or M96 group of galaxies, and as such approximately 38 million light years distant.
		Below and right of center is NGC 3384, while the galaxy in the upper right is NGC 3389.
		While NGC 3384 is probably a member of the Leo I group as M105, NGC 3389 is probably a background object, as it is receding from us at 1138 km/sec, much more than M105 with its 752 km/sec, or the other members of the Leo I group at about 450..760 km/sec.

		The 200 kpc diameter HI ring orbiting NGC 3379/NGC 3384 put tight constraints on its interior mass and indicates that hot intragalactic gas could be the last unknown component in the mass balance.
		A deep pointing on NGC 3379/NGC 3384 will detect this and give an important independent dynamical mass estimate.
		A pointing on M96 will clarify and possibly prove whether or not M96 is interacting with the HI ring and hence is a member of Leo-I. This is extremely important for the recent determination of the Hubble constant from HST observations of cepheids in M96.

		The new images have resolved hundreds of red giants in an elliptically shaped galaxy called NGC 3379, which is about 30 million light-years from Earth.
		Gregg said the red giants in NGC 3379, on average, have an abundance of heavy elements about somewhere between 30 and 50 percent that of our Sun.
		In the outer parts of galaxy NGC 3379, previous estimates of heavy-element content in red giants have been as low as 10 percent of what Gregg and his colleagues found.

		The parameters that are best constrained are the dynamical triaxiality T (essentially the triaxiality of the total mass distribution) and the short-to-long axis ratio of the light distribution c_L.
		These results are essentially unchanged if the galaxy is assumed to rotate about its short axis, or if it is modeled as an S0 with a negligible-mass disk rather than as an elliptical.
		[ApJ, 371, 535 (1991)] that NGC 3379 is a rather flat, triaxial S0 galaxy is found to be improbable at the 98% level; this conclusion is largely independent of the bulge-to-disk ratio or the relative rotation speeds of the two components.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		We investigate whether the observed kinematics and surface photometry for the elliptical E1/E2 galaxies NGC 3379, NGC 4261, NGC 4278 and NGC 4472 can be modelled under the assumptions of (i) axisymmetry, (ii) a distribution function of the form f=f(E,L_z) and (iii) constant mass-to-light ratio.
		Only in the case of NGC 4472 do the velocity dispersion profiles suggest that the radial and vertical dispersions are decoupled and thus the distribution function depends upon a third integral.
		We have developed a prolate model for NGC 4261 which accurately predicts the kinematics, although the comparison is limited to the RMS line-of-sight velocities.

		The last part contains a direct application of the SBF method on photometric Kron-Cousins I-band data of the standard E0 galaxy NGC 3379, observed with the 3.5 m ESO NTT telescope, in La Silla, Chile.
		The zeropoint calibration was performed using I-band aperture photometry of the standard stars of the galactic cluster M67.
		After a smooth galaxy model for the galaxy NGC 3379 was constructed and subtracted from the original data the total signal amount of unwanted point sources, such as foreground stars, background galaxies and globular clusters, was identified and afterwards eliminated.

	The distance to the Leo I group using I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Using the Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) method by Tonry and Schneider (1988) the distance to the galaxy NGC 3379 in the Leo I group was determined.
		Applying new written software to the high-signal-to-noise ESO NTT Kron-Cousins I passband archive data, a smooth galaxy model was calculated where unwanted point sources, such as foreground stars, globular clusters as well as background galaxies were taken into account when determining the fluctuation magnitudes.
		Taking the measured fluctuations together with a well defined mean absolute magnitude calibration into account, the distance modulus of NGC 3379 was derived.

		In NGC 1553 the BeppoSAX data show that this component is extended, and suggest an origin for the emission in the evolved stellar population.
		In NGC 3115, a point-like source appears embedded in an extended component morphologically similar to the stellar body, suggesting an almost equal contribution from the nuclear region and the binary population.
		However, for both NGC 3115 and NGC 3379, the nuclear emission is at a level well below that observed in other galaxies who host similar nuclear fl holes.
