The flattening and the orbital structure of early-type galaxies and collisionless N-body binary disk mergers
J. Thomas, R. Jesseit, R. P. Saglia +8
We use oblate axisymmetric dynamical models including dark halos to determine the orbital structure of intermediate mass to massive Coma early-type galaxies. We find a large variet…
The supermassive black hole of Fornax A
N. Nowak, R. P. Saglia, J. Thomas +3
The radio galaxy Fornax A (NGC 1316) is a prominent merger remnant in the outskirts of the Fornax cluster. Its giant radio lobes suggest the presence of a powerful AGN and thus a c…
Extended Red Emission and the evolution of carbonaceaous nanograins in NGC 7023
O. Berne, C. Joblin, M. Rapacioli +3
Extended Red Emission (ERE) was recently attributed to the photo-luminescence of either doubly ionized Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), or charged PAH dimers. We anal…
Spatially resolved spectroscopy of Coma cluster early-type galaxies IV. Completing the dataset
E. M. Corsini, G. Wegner, R. P. Saglia +3
The long-slit spectra obtained along the minor axis, offset major axis and diagonal axis are presented for 12 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma cluster drawn from a magnitude-limited s…
Axisymmetric orbit models of N-body merger remnants: a dependency of reconstructed mass on viewing angle
J. Thomas, R. Jesseit, T. Naab +3
We model mock observations of collisionless N-body disc-disc mergers with an axisymmetric orbit superposition program that has been used to model Coma ellipticals. The remnants sam…
The supermassive black hole in NGC4486a detected with SINFONI at the VLT
N. Nowak, R. P. Saglia, J. Thomas +4
The near-infrared integral field spectrograph SINFONI at the ESO VLT opens a new window for the study of central supermassive black holes. With a near-IR spatial resolution similar…
