The SAURON Project - XIX. Optical and near-infrared scaling relations of nearby elliptical, lenticular and Sa galaxies

J. Falcón-Barroso, G. van de Ven, R. F. Peletier +16

[Abridged] We present ground-based MDM V-band and Spitzer/IRAC 3.6um-band photometric observations of the 72 representative galaxies of the SAURON Survey. In combination with the S…

Discovery of an AGN-Driven Molecular Outflow in the Local Early-Type Galaxy NGC 1266

Katherine Alatalo, Leo Blitz, Lisa M. Young +26

We report the discovery of a powerful molecular wind from the nucleus of the non-interacting nearby S0 field galaxy NGC 1266. The single-dish CO profile exhibits emission to +/- 40…

The Planetary Nebulae Population in the Central Regions of M32: the SAURON view

Marc Sarzi, Gary Mamon, Michele Cappellari +4

Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are not only useful as distance signposts or as tracers of the dark-matter content of their host galaxies, but constitute also good indicators…

Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Local Early-Type Galaxies

M. Bureau, T. A. Davis, K. Alatalo +23

The molecular gas content of local early-type galaxies is constrained and discussed in relation to their evolution. First, as part of the Atlas3D survey, we present the first compl…

Investigating the merger origin of Early-Type Galaxies using ultra-deep optical images

P. -A. Duc, J. -C. Cuillandre, K. Alatalo +28

The mass assembly of galaxies leaves various imprints on their surroundings, such as shells, streams and tidal tails. The frequency and properties of these fine structures depend o…
