Deep Chandra Monitoring Observations of NGC 3379: Catalog of Source Properties

N. J. Brassington, G. Fabbiano, D. -W. Kim +11

We present the properties of the discrete X-ray sources detected in our monitoring program of the `typical' elliptical galaxy, NGC 3379, observed with Chandra ACIS-S in five separa…

Spiral Galaxies in the SAURON Survey

Reynier F. Peletier, Katia Ganda, Jesus Falcon-Barroso +11

We discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals.…

Supermassive black holes from OASIS and SAURON integral-field kinematics

M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, R. L. Davies +10

Supermassive black holes are a key element in our understanding of how galaxies form. Most of the progress in this very active field of research is based on just ~30 determinations…

The kinematics of Core and Cusp galaxies: comparing HST imaging and integral-field observations

J. Falcón-Barroso, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9

In this proceeding we look at the relationship between the photometric nuclear properties of early-type galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope imaging and their overall kinematics as…

The SAURON project -- X. The orbital anisotropy of elliptical and lenticular galaxies: revisiting the (V/sigma,epsilon) diagram with integral-field stellar kinematics

M. Cappellari, E. Emsellem, R. Bacon +11

We analyse the orbital distribution of E and S0 galaxies using SAURON integral-field stellar kinematics. We construct the anisotropy (V/sigma,epsilon) diagram, for the 48 E/S0 gala…
