Caught in the act: detections of recoiling supermassive black holes from simulations
Alexander Rawlings, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +3
We study the detectability of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of displaced by gravitational wave recoil kicks $(v_{\rm ki…
Euclid: The - relation as a function of redshift. I. The black hole in NGC 1272
R. Saglia, K. Mehrgan, S. de Nicola +148
Core ellipticals, massive early-type galaxies have an almost constant inner surface brightness profile. The size of the core region correlates with the mass of the finally merged b…
Dynamical stellar mass-to-light ratio gradients: Evidence for very centrally concentrated IMF variations in ETGs?
Kianusch Mehrgan, Jens Thomas, Roberto Saglia +4
Evidence from different probes of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) has repeatedly converged on IMFs more bottom-heavy than in the Milky…
The isotropic center of NGC 5419 -- A core in formation?
Bianca Neureiter, Jens Thomas, Antti Rantala +5
With its cored surface brightness profile, the elliptical galaxy NGC 5419 appears as a typical high-mass early-type galaxy (ETG). However, the galaxy hosts two distinct nuclei in i…
Accuracy and precision of triaxial orbit models I: SMBH mass, stellar mass and dark-matter halo
B. Neureiter, S. de Nicola, J. Thomas +3
We investigate the accuracy and precision of triaxial dynamical orbit models by fitting two dimensional mock observations of a realistic N-body merger simulation resembling a massi…
Accuracy and precision of triaxial orbit models II: Viewing angles, shape and orbital structure
Stefano de Nicola, Bianca Neureiter, Jens Thomas +2
We explore the potential of our novel triaxial modeling machinery in recovering the viewing angles, the shape and the orbit distribution of galaxies by using a high-resolution -…
The two phases of core formation -- orbital evolution in the centres of ellipticals with supermassive black hole binaries
Matteo Frigo, Thorsten Naab, Antti Rantala +4
The flat stellar density cores of massive elliptical galaxies form rapidly due to sinking supermassive black holes (SMBH) in gas-poor galaxy mergers. After the SMBHs form a bound b…
SMART: A new implementation of Schwarzschild's Orbit Superposition technique for triaxial galaxies and its application to an N-body merger simulation
Bianca Neureiter, Jens Thomas, Roberto Saglia +6
We present SMART, a new 3D implementation of the Schwarzschild Method and its application to a triaxial N-body merger simulation. SMART fits full line-of-sight velocity distributio…
Structure of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Intracluster Light
M. Kluge, B. Neureiter, A. Riffeser +6
Observations of 170 local () galaxy clusters in the northern hemisphere have been obtained with the Wendelstein Telescope Wide Field Imager (WWFI). We correct for sy…
