A Census of Baryons and Dark Matter in an Isolated, Milky Way Sized Elliptical Galaxy
We present a study of the dark and luminous matter in the isolated elliptical galaxy NGC 720, based on deep X-ray observations made with the Chandra and Suzaku observatories. The gas properties are reliably measured almost to R 2500, allowing us to place good constraints on the enclosed mass and bar...
