The (black hole)-bulge mass scaling relation at low masses

Alister W. Graham, Nicholas Scott

Several recent papers have reported on the occurrence of active galactic nuclei (AGN) containing under-massive black holes relative to a linear scaling relation between black hole…

Super-massive black hole mass scaling relations

Alister W. Graham, Nicholas Scott, James Schombert

Using black hole masses which span 10^5 to 10^(10) solar masses, the distribution of galaxies in the (host spheroid stellar mass)-(black hole mass) diagram is shown to be strongly…

The Atlas3D project -- XXIX. The new look of early-type galaxies and surrounding fields disclosed by extremely deep optical images

Pierre-Alain Duc, Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Emin Karabal +24

Galactic archeology based on star counts is instrumental to reconstruct the past mass assembly of Local Group galaxies. The development of new observing techniques and data-reducti…

Connection between dynamically derived IMF normalisation and stellar population parameters

Richard M. McDermid, Michele Cappellari, Katherine Alatalo +22

We report on empirical trends between the dynamically determined stellar initial mass function (IMF) and stellar population properties for a complete, volume-limited sample of 260…

The Atlas3D project - XXIV. The intrinsic shape distribution of early-type galaxies

Anne-Marie Weijmans, P. T. de Zeeuw, Eric Emsellem +23

We use the Atlas3D sample to perform a study of the intrinsic shapes of early-type galaxies, taking advantage of the available combined photometric and kinematic data. Based on our…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: instrument specification and target selection

J. J. Bryant, M. S. Owers, A. S. G. Robotham +54

The SAMI Galaxy Survey will observe 3400 galaxies with the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) in a 3-year survey whi…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Early Data Release

J. T. Allen, S. M. Croom, I. S. Konstantopoulos +45

We present the Early Data Release of the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey. The SAMI Galaxy Survey is an ongoing integral field spectroscopic…

The SAMI Pilot Survey: The Kinematic Morphology-Density Relation in Abell 85, Abell 168 and Abell 2399

L. M. R. Fogarty, Nicholas Scott, Matt S. Owers +17

We examine the kinematic morphology of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in three galaxy clusters Abell 85, 168 and 2399. Using data from the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectr…

The ATLAS3D Project - XXVIII. Dynamically-driven star formation suppression in early-type galaxies

Timothy A. Davis, Lisa M. Young, Alison F. Crocker +22

We present measurements of the star formation rate (SFR) in the early-type galaxies (ETGs) of the ATLAS3D sample, based on Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) 22um and Galax…

Distribution of Slow and Fast Rotators in the Fornax Cluster

Nicholas Scott, Roger L Davies, Ryan C W Houghton +3

We present integral field spectroscopy of 10 early-type galaxies in the nearby, low-mass, Fornax cluster, from which we derive spatially resolved stellar kinematics. Based on the m…

The Atlas3D project - XXVI. HI discs in real and simulated fast and slow rotators

Paolo Serra, Ludwig Oser, Davor Krajnovic +24

One quarter of all nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) outside Virgo host a disc/ring of HI with size from a few to tens of kpc and mass up to ~1e+9 solar masses. Here we investigate…
