KiDS J1447-0149: The first spatially resolved spectroscopy of a relic galaxy beyond the local universe. An old high-dispersion core embedded in a compact rotating stellar structure

Johanna Hartke, Chiara Spiniello, Michele Cappellari +13

Relic galaxies are the descendants of high-redshift compact quiescent systems. We present the first spatially resolved spectroscopic study of J1447-0149, a massive relic at $z=0.21…

The Impact of Non-Gaussian Line Spread Functions on Stellar Kinematic Recovery: Consequences for Dynamical Models

David A. Simon

The line spread function (LSF) of a spectrograph encodes the inherent broadening of a single spectral line. It is typically reported as a single number, the resolving power $R = λ/…

Dynamical Modelling of Galactic Kinematics using Neural Networks

David A. Simon, Michele Cappellari, Shude Mao +2

The advent of integral field data has revolutionised the study of galaxy evolution. A key component of this is dynamical modelling methods which have allowed for crucial insights t…

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…

Supermassive black hole mass in the massive elliptical galaxy M87 from integral-field stellar dynamics using OASIS and MUSE with adaptive optics: assessing systematic uncertainties

David A. Simon, Michele Cappellari, Johanna Hartke

The massive elliptical galaxy M87 has been the subject of several supermassive black hole mass measurements from stellar dynamics, gas dynamics, and recently the black hole shadow…
