New surface brightness fluctuations spectroscopic technique: NGC4449 and its stellar tidal stream
We present a new spectroscopic technique based in part on targeting the upward fluctuations of the surface brightness for studying the internal stellar kinematics and metallicities of low surface brightness galaxies and streams beyond the Local Group. The distance to these systems makes them unsuita...

| 520 | |a We present a new spectroscopic technique based in part on targeting the upward fluctuations of the surface brightness for studying the internal stellar kinematics and metallicities of low surface brightness galaxies and streams beyond the Local Group. The distance to these systems makes them unsuitable for targeting individual red giant branch (RGB) stars (tip of RGB at $I\gtrsim24$~mag) and their surface brightness is too low ($\mu_r\gtrsim 25$~mag~arcsec$^{-2}$) for integrated light spectroscopic measurements. This technique overcomes these two problems by targeting individual objects that are brighter than the tip of the RGB. We apply this technique to the star-forming dwarf galaxy NGC 4449 and its stellar stream. We use Keck/DEIMOS data to measure the line-of-sight radial velocity out to $\sim7$~kpc in the East side of the galaxy and $\sim8$~kpc along the stream. We find that the two systems are likely gravitationally bound to each other and have heliocentric radial velocities of $227.3\pm10.7$~km/s and $225.8\pm16.0$~km/s, respectively. Neither the stream nor the near half of the galaxy shows a significant velocity gradient. We estimate the stellar metallicity of the stream based on the equivalent width of its Calcium triplet lines and find [Fe/H]~$=-1.37\pm0.41$, which is consistent with the metallicity-luminosity relation for Local Group dwarf galaxies. Whether the stream's progenitor was moderately or severely stripped cannot be constrained with this metallicity uncertainty. We demonstrate that this new technique can be used to measure the kinematics and (possibly) the metallicity of the numerous faint satellites and stellar streams in the halos of nearby ($\sim 4$~Mpc) galaxies. | ||
