The MASSIVE Survey. XVIII. Deep Wide-Field -band Photometry and Local Scaling Relations for Massive Early-Type Galaxies
Matthew E. Quenneville, John P. Blakeslee, Chung-Pei Ma +4
We present wide-field, deep -band photometry of 98 luminous early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the MASSIVE survey based on observations taken with the WIRCam instrument on the Cana…
Triaxial Orbit-based Dynamical Modeling of Galaxies with Supermassive Black Holes and an Application to Massive Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1453
Matthew E. Quenneville, Christopher M. Liepold, Chung-Pei Ma
Most stellar-dynamical determinations of the masses of nearby supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been obtained with the orbit superposition technique under the assumption of axi…
The MASSIVE Survey -- XVII. A Triaxial Orbit-based Determination of the Black Hole Mass and Intrinsic Shape of Elliptical Galaxy NGC 2693
Jacob D. Pilawa, Christopher M. Liepold, Silvana C. Delgado Andrade +5
We present a stellar dynamical mass measurement of a newly detected supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the fast-rotating, massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2693 as part of…
The MASSIVE SURVEY XVI. The Stellar Initial Mass Function in the Center of MASSIVE Early-Type Galaxies
Meng Gu, Jenny Greene, Andrew B. Newman +4
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental property in the measurement of stellar masses and galaxy star formation histories. In this work we focus on the most massiv…
Dynamical Modeling of Galaxies and Supermassive Black Holes: Axisymmetry in Triaxial Schwarzschild Orbit Superposition Models
Matthew E. Quenneville, Christopher M. Liepold, Chung-Pei Ma
We present a detailed analysis of the behavior of the triaxial Schwarzschild orbit superposition method near the axisymmetric limit. Orbit superposition modeling is the primary met…
The MASSIVE Survey -- XV. A Stellar Dynamical Mass Measurement of the Supermassive Black Hole in Massive Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1453
Christopher M. Liepold, Matthew E. Quenneville, Chung-Pei Ma +4
We present a new stellar dynamical mass measurement () of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in NGC 1453, a fast-rotating massive elliptical galaxy in the MASSIVE su…
The MASSIVE Survey - XII Connecting Stellar Populations of Early-Type Galaxies to Kinematics and Environment
Jenny E Greene, Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma +6
We measure the stellar populations as a function of radius for 90 early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the MASSIVE survey, a volume-limited integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) galaxy surve…
