Extending the Frontier of Spatially-Resolved Supermassive Black Hole Mass Measurements to at : Simulations with ELT/MICADO High-Resolution Mass Models and HARMONI Integral-Field Stellar Kinematics

Dieu D. Nguyen, Michele Cappellari, Tinh Q. T. Le +8

Current spatially resolved kinematic measurements of supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses are largely confined to the local Universe (distances Mpc). We investigate…

PowerBin: Fast Adaptive Data Binning with Centroidal Power Diagrams

Michele Cappellari

Adaptive binning is a crucial step in the analysis of large astronomical datasets, such as those from integral-field spectroscopy, to ensure a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio (S/N…

Measuring the Central Dark Mass in NGC 4258 with JWST/NIRSpec Stellar Kinematics

Dieu D. Nguyen, Hai N. Ngo, Michele Cappellari +8

We present a new stellar dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4258, a critical benchmark for extragalactic mass measurem…

When relics were made: vigorous stellar rotation and low dark matter content in the massive ultra-compact galaxy GS-9209 at z=4.66

Robert G. Pascalau, Francesco D'Eugenio, Sandro Tacchella +24

JWST uncovered a large number of massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) at , which theoretical models struggle to reproduce. Explaining the number density of such objects requires…

Early-Type Galaxies: Elliptical and S0 Galaxies, or Fast and Slow Rotators

Michele Cappellari

Early-type galaxies (ETGs) show a bimodal distribution in key structural properties like stellar specific angular momentum, kinematic morphology, and nuclear surface brightness pro…

MaNGA DynPop. VII. A Unified Bulge-Disk-Halo Model for Explaining Diversity in Circular Velocity Curves of 6000 Spiral and Early-Type Galaxies

Kai Zhu, Michele Cappellari, Shude Mao +6

We derive circular velocity curves (CVCs) from stellar dynamical models for nearby galaxies in the final data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV MaNGA survey wit…

E-INSPIRE -- I. Bridging the gap with the local Universe: Stellar population of a statistical sample of ultra-compact massive galaxies at

John Mills, Chiara Spiniello, Alexey Sergeyev +10

This paper presents the first effort to Extend the Investigation of Stellar Populations In RElics (E-INSPIRE). We present a catalogue of 430 spectroscopically-confirmed ultra-compa…
