The SAURON Project - XIV. No escape from V: a global and local parameter in early-type galaxy evolution
Nicholas Scott, Michele Cappellari, Roger L. Davies +13
We present the results of an investigation of the local escape velocity (Vesc) - line strength index relationship for 48 early type galaxies from the SAURON sample, the first such…
Challenges facing young astrophysicists
N. L. Zakamska, A. E. Schulz, K. Heng +9
In order to attract and retain excellent researchers and diverse individuals in astrophysics, we recommend action be taken in several key areas impacting young scientists: (1) Main…
Strong Gravitational Lensing as a Probe of Gravity, Dark-Matter and Super-Massive Black Holes
L. V. E. Koopmans, M. Auger, M. Barnabe +26
Whereas considerable effort has been afforded in understanding the properties of galaxies, a full physical picture, connecting their baryonic and dark-matter content, super-massive…
Structure and Substructure of Galactic Spheroids
Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean P. Brodie, James S. Bullock +6
The full spatio-chemo-dynamical structure of galaxies of all types and environments at low redshift provides a critical accompaniment to observations of galaxy formation at high re…
Triaxial orbit based galaxy models with an application to the (apparent) decoupled core galaxy NGC 4365
R. C. E. van den Bosch, G. van de Ven, E. K. Verolme +2
We present a flexible and efficient method to construct triaxial dynamical models of galaxies with a central black hole, using Schwarzschild's orbital superposition approach. Our m…
The SAURON project - XI. Stellar Populations from Absorption Line Strength Maps of 24 Early-Type Spirals
Reynier F. Peletier, Jesus Falcon-Barroso, Roland Bacon +10
We present absorption line strength maps of a sample of 24 representative early-type spiral galaxies, mostly of type Sa, obtained as part of the SAURON survey of nearby galaxies us…
