Classification of Stellar Orbits in Axisymmetric Galaxies

Baile Li, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Fazeel Khan

It is known that two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) cannot merge in a spherical galaxy within a Hubble time; an emerging picture is that galaxy geometry, rotation, and large pote…

IN-SYNC II: Virial Stars from Sub-Virial Cores -- The Velocity Dispersion of Embedded Pre-Main-Sequence Stars in NGC 1333

Jonathan B. Foster, Michiel Cottaar, Kevin R. Covey +14

The initial velocity dispersion of newborn stars is a major unconstrained aspect of star formation theory. Using near-infrared spectra obtained with the APOGEE spectrograph, we sho…

Ultramassive Black Hole Coalescence

Fazeel Khan, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Peter Berczik

Although supermassive black holes (SMBHs) correlate well with their host galaxies, there is an emerging view that outliers exist. Henize 2-10, NGC 4889, and NGC1277 are examples of…

Bar Formation from Galaxy Flybys

Meagan Lang, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Manodeep Sinha

Recently, both simulations and observations have revealed that flybys - fast, one-time interactions between two galaxy halos - are surprisingly common, nearing/comparable to galaxy…

The APOGEE red-clump catalog: Precise distances, velocities, and high-resolution elemental abundances over a large area of the Milky Way's disk

Jo Bovy, David L. Nidever, Hans-Walter Rix +48

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III's Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopic survey covering all of the major…

Effects of Inclination on Measuring Velocity Dispersion and Implications for Black Holes

Jillian Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Kayhan Gültekin +5

The relation of central black hole mass and stellar spheroid velocity dispersion (the M- relation) is one of the best-known and tightest correlations linking black holes and the…
