Marginal likelihoods of distances and extinctions to stars: computation and compact representation

S. E. Sale, J. Magorrian

We present a method for obtaining the likelihood function of distance and extinction to a star given its photometry. The other properties of the star (its mass, age, metallicity an…

Three-dimensional extinction mapping using Gaussian random fields

S. E. Sale, J. Magorrian

We present a scheme for using stellar catalogues to map the three-dimensional distributions of extinction and dust within our Galaxy. Extinction is modelled as a Gaussian random fi…

The M-sigma and M-L Relations in Galactic Bulges and Determinations of their Intrinsic Scatter

Kayhan Gultekin, Douglas O. Richstone, Karl Gebhardt +13

We derive improved versions of the relations between supermassive black hole mass (M_BH) and host-galaxy bulge velocity dispersion (sigma) and luminosity (L) (the M-sigma and M-L r…

Dark matter scaling relations and the assembly epoch of Coma early-type galaxies

J. Thomas, R. P. Saglia, R. Bender +5

Axisymmetric, orbit-based dynamical models are used to derive dark matter scaling relations for Coma early-type galaxies. From faint to bright galaxies halo core-radii and asymptot…

The central kinematics of NGC 1399 measured with 14pc resolution

R. C. W. Houghton, J. Magorrian, M. Sarzi +3

We present near infra-red (NIR) adaptive optics assisted spectroscopic observations of the CO () absorption bands towards the centre of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399.…

Supermassive Black Holes and the Evolution of Galaxies

D. Richstone, E. A. Ajhar, R. Bender +11

Black holes, an extreme consequence of the mathematics of General Relativity, have long been suspected of being the prime movers of quasars, which emit more energy than any other o…
