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…
Measuring Dark Matter Profiles Non-Parametrically in Dwarf Spheroidals: An Application to Draco
John R. Jardel, Karl Gebhardt, Maximilian Fabricius +2
We introduce a novel implementation of orbit-based (or Schwarzschild) modeling that allows dark matter density profiles to be calculated non-parametrically in nearby galaxies. Our…
Molecular gas in the centre of nearby galaxies from VLT/SINFONI integral field spectroscopy - I. Morphology and mass inventory
X. Mazzalay, R. P. Saglia, Peter Erwin +7
We present the first results of an analysis of the properties of the molecular gas in the nuclear regions (r < 300 pc) of a sample of six nearby galaxies, based on new high spatial…
Secular evolution in action: central values and radial trends in the stellar populations of boxy bulges
Michael J. Williams, Martin Bureau, Harald Kuntschner
We determine central values and radial trends in the stellar populations of the bulges of a sample of 28 edge-on S0-Sb disk galaxies, 22 of which are boxy/peanut-shaped (and theref…
The stellar kinematics and populations of boxy bulges: cylindrical rotation and vertical gradients
Michael J. Williams, Michel Zamojski, Martin Bureau +4
Boxy and peanut-shaped bulges are seen in about half of edge-on disc galaxies. Comparisons of the photometry and major-axis gas and stellar kinematics of these bulges to simulation…
