Recovering pattern speeds of simulated face-on barred galaxies via Schwarzschild modelling
Iliya S. Tikhonenko, Jens Thomas, Roberto P. Saglia
Stellar bars are a major driving force in the secular evolution of their host galaxies. To better understand the connections between the 3D bar density structure, its orbital compo…
The Stellar IMF and Dark Matter Halo of ESO0286: Constraints from Strong Lensing and Dynamics
Han Wang, Jens Thomas, Mathias Lipka +4
The internal mass structure of elliptical galaxies offers critical insights into galaxy formation, yet disentangling stellar mass from dark matter and determining the stellar initi…
Triaxial Schwarzschild Models of Brightest Cluster Galaxies with Long-Slit LBT Data
Stefano de Nicola, Roberto P. Saglia, Jens Thomas +3
We present new long-slit stellar kinematics for a sample of 21 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and triaxial Schwarzschild models for 16 of these objects using our orbit modelling…
Eight New Ultramassive Black Hole Masses confirm Best Correlation with Galaxy Core Sizes
Stefano de Nicola, Jens Thomas, Roberto P. Saglia +3
We analyse black-hole scaling relations at the high-mass end, focusing in particular on the regime of ultra-massive black holes, $\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{BH} > 10^{10}\,\mathrm{M}_\odot…
Caught in the act: detections of recoiling supermassive black holes from simulations
Alexander Rawlings, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +3
We study the detectability of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of displaced by gravitational wave recoil kicks $(v_{\rm ki…
The VIRUS-dE Survey II: Cuspy and round halos in dwarf ellipticals -- A result of early assembly?
Mathias Lipka, Jens Thomas, Roberto Saglia +3
We analyze the dark matter (DM) halos of a sample of dwarf Ellitpicals (dE) and discuss cosmological and evolutionary implications. Using orbit modeling we recover their density sl…
