Growth of Galactic Bulges by Mergers: I. Dense Satellites

J. A. L. Aguerri, M. Balcells, R. F. Peletier

Andredakis, Peletier & Balcells (1995) fit Sersic's law to the bulges of the Balcells & Peletier (1994) galaxy sample, and infer that drops with morphologic…

The black hole mass vs bulge mass relationship in spiral galaxies

A. Marconi, D. Axon, J. Atkinson +15

We describe an on-going HST program aimed at determining the relationship between the nuclear black hole mass and bulge mass in spiral galaxies. We have selected a volume limited s…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Near Infrared Galaxy Luminosity Functions

Shaun Cole, Peder Norberg, Carlton Baugh +24

We combine the 2MASS extended source catalogue and the 2dFGRS to produce an IR selected galaxy catalogue with 17,173 measured redshifts. We use this extensive dataset to estimate t…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Number and Luminosity Density of Galaxies

Nicholas Cross, Simon P. Driver, Warrick Couch +29

We present the bivariate brightness distribution (BBD) for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) based on a preliminary subsample of 45,000 galaxies. The BBD is an extension of t…

Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy of Damped Lyman-alpha Systems

Andrew Bunker, Annette Ferguson, Rachel Johnson +5

We assess the feasibility of detecting star formation in damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) at z>1 through near-infrared spectroscopy using the forthcoming integral field units on 8…

Galaxy mapping with the SAURON integral-field spectrograph: The star formation history of NGC 4365

Roger L. Davies, Harald Kuntschner, Eric Emsellem +9

We report the first wide-field mapping of the kinematics and stellar populations in the E3 galaxy NGC 4365. The velocity maps extend previous long-slit work. They show two independ…
