Spatially resolved properties of the grand-design spiral galaxy UGC 9837: a case for high-redshift 2D observations
K. Viironen, S. F. Sanchez, E. Marmol-Queralto +8
Context. We carry out a detailed 2D study of the ionised gas in the local universe galaxy UGC9837. In nearby galaxies, like the galaxy in question here, the spatial distribution of…
CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey: I. Survey presentation
S. F. Sanchez, R. C. Kennicutt, A. Gil de Paz +69
We present here the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey, which has been designed to provide a first step in this direction.We summarize the survey goals and desig…
The central dark matter distribution of NGC 2976
Joshua J. Adams, Karl Gebhardt, Guillermo A. Blanc +5
We study the mass distribution in the late-type dwarf galaxy NGC 2976 through stellar kinematics obtained with the VIRUS-P integral-field spectrograph and anisotropic Jeans models…
Schwarzschild models of the Sculptor dSph galaxy
Maarten A. Breddels, Amina Helmi, R. C. E. van den Bosch +2
We have developed a spherically symmetric dynamical model of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the Schwarzschild method. This type of modelling yields constraints both on the total m…
The SAURON Project - XX. The Spitzer [3.6] - [4.5] colour in early-type galaxies: colours, colour gradients and inverted scaling relations
Reynier F. Peletier, Elif Kutdemir, Guido van der Wolk +15
We investigate the [3.6] - [4.5] Spitzer-IRAC colour behaviour of the early-type galaxies of the SAURON survey, a representative sample of 48 nearby ellipticals and lenticulars. We…
Grigori Kuzmin and Stellar Dynamics
P. Tim de Zeeuw, Glenn van de Ven
Grigori Kuzmin was a very gifted dynamicist and one of the towering figures in the distinguished history of the Tartu Observatory. He obtained a number of important results in rela…
The SAURON Project - XIX. Optical and near-infrared scaling relations of nearby elliptical, lenticular and Sa galaxies
J. Falcón-Barroso, G. van de Ven, R. F. Peletier +16
[Abridged] We present ground-based MDM V-band and Spitzer/IRAC 3.6um-band photometric observations of the 72 representative galaxies of the SAURON Survey. In combination with the S…
Resolving the dynamical mass of a z~1.3 QSO host galaxy using SINFONI and Laser Guide Star assisted Adaptive Optics
Katherine J. Inskip, Knud Jahnke, Hans-Walter Rix +1
Recent studies of the tight scaling relations between the masses of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies have suggested that in the past black holes constituted a large…
The ATLAS3D project - III. A census of the stellar angular momentum within the effective radius of early-type galaxies: unveiling the distribution of Fast and Slow Rotators
Eric Emsellem, Michele Cappellari, Davor Krajnović +21
We provide a census of the apparent stellar angular momentum within 1 Re of a volume-limited sample of 260 early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby Universe, using integral-field s…
The SAURON project - XVIII. The integrated UV-linestrength relations of early-type galaxies
Martin Bureau, Hyunjin Jeong, Sukyoung K. Yi +17
Using far (FUV) and near (NUV) ultraviolet photometry from guest investigator programmes on the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite, optical photometry from the MDM Observa…
Physical Condition of Molecular Gas at the Centre of NGC 1097
Nuria Piñol-Ferrer, Kambiz Fathi, Andreas Lundgren +1
We have used the Xco conversion factor, Local Thermal Equilibrium and Large Velocity Gradient approximation to parametrize the cold and warm phase of the interstellar medium from f…
