Velocity Dispersions and Mass-to-Light Ratios for 9 Globular Clusters in M31

P. Dubath, C. J. Grillmair

We present internal velocity dispersion determinations from high-resolution spectroscopic observations of a sample of nine globular clusters in M31. Comprehensive numerical simulat…

The Nuclear Region of M51 Imaged with the HST Planetary Camera

Carl J. Grillmair, S. M. Faber, Tod R. Lauer +4

We present high-resolution, broad- and narrow-band, pre-refurbishment images of the central region of M51 taken with the Planetary Camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. The V-band…

The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST. IV. Central Parameter Relations

S. M. Faber, Scott Tremaine, Edward A. Ajhar +7

We analyze Hubble Space Telescope surface-brightness profiles of 61 elliptical galaxies and spiral bulges (hot galaxies). Luminous hot galaxies have cuspy cores with steep outer po…

Hubble Space Telescope Observations of M32: The Color-Magnitude Diagram

Carl J. Grillmair, Tod R. Lauer, Guy Worthey +9

We present a V-I color-magnitude diagram for a region 1'-2' from the center of M32 based on Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images. The broad color-luminosity distribution of red gian…

The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST III: Non-Parametric Recovery of Stellar Luminosity Distributions

Karl Gebhardt, Douglas Richstone, Edward Ajhar +7

We have non-parametrically determined the luminosity density profiles and their logarithmic slopes for 42 early-type galaxies observed with HST. Assuming that the isodensity contou…

Hubble Space Telescope Planetary Camera Images of NGC 1316

Edward J. Shaya, Daniel M. Dowling, Douglas G. Currie +7

We present HST Planetary Camera V and I~band images of the central region of the peculiar giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316. The inner profile is well fit by a nonisothermal core mo…
