The simultaneous formation of cored, tangentially biased, and kinematically decoupled centers in massive early-type galaxies
Antti Rantala, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +2
We study the impact of merging supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on the central regions of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) using a series of merger simulations with varying mass…
The formation of extremely diffuse galaxy cores by merging supermassive black holes
Antti Rantala, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +2
Given its velocity dispersion, the early-type galaxy NGC 1600 has an unusually massive () central supermassive black hole (SMBH), surrounded…
The MASSIVE Survey IX: Photometric Analysis of 35 High Mass Early-Type Galaxies with HST WFC3/IR
Charles F. Goullaud, Joseph B. Jensen, John P. Blakeslee +3
We present near-infrared observations of 35 of the most massive early-type galaxies in the local universe. The observations were made using the infrared channel of the Hubble Space…
The MASSIVE Survey - X. Misalignment between Kinematic and Photometric Axes and Intrinsic Shapes of Massive Early-Type Galaxies
Irina Ene, Chung-Pei Ma, Melanie Veale +7
We use spatially resolved two-dimensional stellar velocity maps over a field of view to investigate the kinematic features of 90 early-type galaxies above stellar…
