[OIII] Velocity Fields and Rotation Curves of MUSCEL Galaxies
Abstract
The MUSCEL (MUltiwavelength observations of the Structure, Chemistry and Evolution of LSB galaxies) program is designed to study the spatially-resolved star formation histories and kinematics of low surface brightness galaxies to determine why they have followed a different evolutionary path than high surface brightness galaxies. Here we present the observed [OIII]5007 velocity fields and derived rotation curves of four MUSCEL targets using observations taken with the VIRUS-P IFU. We also fit cuspy and cored halo models to the data to examine the structure of their dark matter halos.
