If the observed shape of a particular object is fit with an analytic function, then the velocity of the shell is specified by the equations of motion. The predicted kinematics can be compared with the observed emission line velocity field, and the resulting fit is excellent. The implications for massive galaxies at high redshift include the requirement of an initial epoch of star formation that creates dust distributed throughout a very large, diffuse, nearly virialized halo.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-11-11T02:44:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "morphology", "emission line velocity field", "high redshift radio galaxies", "creates dust distributed throughout", "enormous bipolar reflection nebulae" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 490998 } } }
