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…
