Near- to Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy for the Giant Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A) with the AKARI Infrared Camera

Onaka, T.; Sakon, I.; Kaneda, H.

We present the near- to mid-infrared (~2.5-13 µm) spectrum of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A) obtained with the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board AKARI. NGC 1316 is known to have a peculiar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission spectrum with an unusually high ratio of the 11.3 µm to the 7.7 µm emission inten…
