Curvature in the scaling relations of early-type galaxies

J. B. Hyde, M. Bernardi

We select a sample of about 50,000 early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), calibrate fitting formulae which correct for known problems with photometric reduct…

A Search for the Most Massive Galaxies. III. Global and Central Structure

J. B. Hyde, M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth +1

We used the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain high resolution i-band images of the centers of 23 single galaxies, which were selected becaus…

A Search for the Most Massive Galaxies. II. Structure, Environment and Formation

M. Bernardi, J. B. Hyde, A. Fritz +3

We study a sample of 43 early-type galaxies, selected from the SDSS because they appeared to have velocity dispersion > 350 km/s. High-resolution photometry in the SDSS i passband…

On the inconsistency between the black hole mass function inferred from M_bh-sigma and M_bh-L correlation

E. Tundo, M. Bernardi, J. B. Hyde +2

Black hole masses are tightly correlated with the stellar velocity dispersions of the bulges which surround them, and slightly less-well correlated with the bulge luminosity. It is…

The luminosities, sizes and velocity dispersions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies: Implications for formation history

M. Bernardi, J. B. Hyde, R. K. Sheth +2

The size-luminosity relation of early-type Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), R_e ~ L^0.88, is steeper than that for the bulk of the early-type galaxy population, for which R_e ~ L…
