The density of dark matter haloes of early-type galaxies in low-density environments
E. M. Corsini, G. A. Wegner, J. Thomas +2
New photometric and long-slit spectroscopic observations are presented for NGC 7113, PGC 1852, and PGC 67207 which are three bright galaxies residing in low-density environments. T…
The MASSIVE Survey - V. Spatially-Resolved Stellar Angular Momentum, Velocity Dispersion, and Higher Moments of the 41 Most Massive Local Early-Type Galaxies
Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma, Jens Thomas +6
We present spatially-resolved two-dimensional stellar kinematics for the 41 most massive early-type galaxies (MK <~ -25.7 mag, stellar mass M* >~ 10^11.8 Msun) of the volume-limite…
The supermassive black hole and double nucleus of the core elliptical NGC5419
X. Mazzalay, J. Thomas, R. P. Saglia +5
We obtained adaptive-optics assisted SINFONI observations of the central regions of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC5419 with a spatial resolution of 0.2 arcsec ( pc). N…
A 17-billion-solar-mass black hole in a group galaxy with a diffuse core
Jens Thomas, Chung-Pei Ma, Nicholas J. McConnell +3
Quasars are associated with and powered by the accretion of material onto massive black holes; the detection of highly luminous quasars with redshifts greater than z = 6 suggests t…
The MASSIVE Survey IV.: The X-ray halos of the most massive early-type galaxies in the nearby Universe
Andy D. Goulding, Jenny E. Greene, Chung-Pei Ma +6
Studies of the physical properties of local elliptical galaxies (e.g., gas temperatures, halo masses, stellar kinematics) are shedding new light on galaxy formation. Here we presen…
The SINFONI Black Hole Survey: The Black Hole Fundamental Plane revisited and the paths of (co-) evolution of supermassive black holes and bulges
R. P. Saglia, M. Opitsch, P. Erwin +7
We investigate the correlations between the black hole mass , the velocity dispersion , the bulge mass , the bulge average spherical density and its spheri…
