No direct coupling between bending of galaxy disc stellar age and light profiles

T. Ruiz-Lara, I. Pérez, E. Florido +19

We study the stellar properties of 44 face-on spiral galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey via full spectrum fitting techniques. We compare the age profile…

The massive dark halo of the compact, early-type galaxy NGC 1281

Akın Yıldırım, Remco van den Bosch, Glenn van de Ven +7

We investigate the compact, early-type galaxy NGC 1281 with integral field unit observations to map the stellar LOSVD out to 5 effective radii and construct orbit-based dynamical m…

Creating S0s with major mergers: a 3D view

Miguel Querejeta, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Trinidad Tapia +8

A number of simulators have argued that major mergers can sometimes preserve discs (e.g. Springel & Hernquist 2005), but the possibility that they could explain the emergence of le…

Understanding the central kinematics of globular clusters with simulated integrated-light IFU observations

Paolo Bianchini, Mark A. Norris, Glenn van de Ven +1

The detection of intermediate mass black holes in the centres of globular clusters is highly controversial, as complementary observational methods often deliver significantly diffe…

MRK 1216 & NGC 1277 - An orbit-based dynamical analysis of compact, high velocity dispersion galaxies

Akın Yıldırım, Remco van den Bosch, Glenn van de Ven +5

We present a dynamical analysis to infer the structural parameters and properties of the two nearby, compact, high velocity dispersion galaxies MRK1216 & NGC1277. Combining deep HS…

Virgo cluster and field dwarf ellipticals in 3D: III. Spatially and temporally resolved stellar populations

Agnieszka Ryś, Mina Koleva, Jesús Falcón-Barroso +4

We present the stellar population analysis of a sample of 12 dwarf elliptical galaxies, observed with the SAURON integral field unit, using the full-spectrum fitting method. We sho…

Tracing kinematic (mis)alignments in CALIFA merging galaxies: Stellar and ionized gas kinematic orientations at every merger stage

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, B. García-Lorenzo, J. Falcón-Barroso +27

We present spatially resolved stellar and/or ionized gas kinematic properties for a sample of 103 interacting galaxies, tracing all merger stages: close companions, pairs with morp…

Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers: Explaining angular momentum and concentration change from spirals to S0s

Miguel Querejeta, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Trinidad Tapia +6

The CALIFA team has recently found that the stellar angular momentum and concentration of late-type spiral galaxies are incompatible with those of lenticular galaxies (S0s), conclu…

Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies: I. Fast bars across the Hubble sequence

J. A. L. Aguerri, J. Méndez-Abreu, J. Falcón-Barroso +25

The bar pattern speed () is defined as the rotational frequency of the bar, and it determines the bar dynamics. Several methods have been proposed for measuring $Ω_{\rm…

Searching for intermediate mass black holes: understanding the data first

Paolo Bianchini, Mark Norris, Glenn van de Ven +1

The detection of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in globular clusters has been hotly debated, with different observational methods delivering different outcomes for the same…
