Composite Bulges: The Coexistence of Classical Bulges and Disky Pseudobulges in S0 and Spiral Galaxies
Peter Erwin, Roberto P. Saglia, Maximilian Fabricius +6
We study nine S0-Sb galaxies with (photometric) bulges consisting of two distinct components. The outer component is a flattened, kinematically cool, disklike structure: a "disky p…
Using 3D Spectroscopy to Probe the Orbital Structure of Composite Bulges
Peter Erwin, Roberto Saglia, Jens Thomas +6
Detailed imaging and spectroscopic analysis of the centers of nearby S0 and spiral galaxies shows the existence of "composite bulges", where both classical bulges and disky pseudob…
The MASSIVE Survey - I. A Volume-Limited Integral-Field Spectroscopic Study of the Most Massive Early-Type Galaxies within 108 Mpc
Chung-Pei Ma, Jenny E. Greene, Nicholas McConnell +4
Massive early-type galaxies represent the modern-day remnants of the earliest major star formation episodes in the history of the universe. These galaxies are central to our unders…
Dwarf Galaxy Dark Matter Density Profiles Inferred from Stellar and Gas Kinematics
Joshua J. Adams, Joshua D. Simon, Maximilian H. Fabricius +9
We present new constraints on the density profiles of dark matter (DM) halos in seven nearby dwarf galaxies from measurements of their integrated stellar light and gas kinematics.…
Central rotations of Milky Way Globular Clusters
Maximilian H. Fabricius, Eva Noyola, Surangkhana Rukdee +6
Most Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) exhibit measurable flattening, even if on a very low level. Both cluster rotation and tidal fields are thought to cause this flattening. Neve…
Re-growth of stellar disks in mature galaxies: The two component nature of NGC 7217 revisited with VIRUS-W
Maximilian H. Fabricius, Lodovico Coccato, Ralf Bender +6
Previous studies have reported the existence of two counter-rotating stellar disks in the early-type spiral galaxy NGC7217. We have obtained high-resolution optical spectroscopic d…
