A low upper mass limit for the central black hole in the late-type galaxy NGC 4414
Sabine Thater, Davor Krajnović, Martin A. Bourne +7
We present our mass estimate of the central black hole in the isolated spiral galaxy NGC 4414. Using natural guide star adaptive optics assisted observations with the Gemini Near-I…
Two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of CALIFA galaxies
J. Mendez-Abreu, T. Ruiz-Lara, L. Sanchez-Menguiano +20
We present a two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of 404 galaxies from the CALIFA Data Release 3. They represent all possible galaxies with no clear signs of i…
On the rotation of nuclear star clusters formed by cluster-inspirals
Athanasia Tsatsi, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti, Glenn van de Ven +3
Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are commonly observed in the centres of most galactic nuclei, including our own Milky Way. While their study can reveal important information about the…
The inner mass distribution of late-type spiral galaxies from SAURON stellar kinematic maps
Veselina Kalinova, Glenn van de Ven, Mariya Lyubenova +3
We infer the central mass distributions within 0.4-1.2 disc scale lengths of 18 late-type spiral galaxies using two different dynamical modelling approaches - the Asymmetric Drift…
Stellar kinematics across the Hubble sequence in the CALIFA survey: General properties and aperture corrections
J. Falcón-Barroso, M. Lyubenova, G. van de Ven +32
We present the stellar kinematic maps of a large sample of galaxies from the integral-field spectroscopic survey CALIFA. The sample comprises 300 galaxies displaying a wide range o…
A spiral galaxy's mass distribution uncovered through lensing and dynamics
Wilma H. Trick, Glenn van de Ven, Aaron A. Dutton
We investigate the matter distribution of a spiral galaxy with a counter-rotating stellar core, SDSS J1331+3628 (J1331), independently with gravitational lensing and stellar dynami…
H Imaging spectroscopy of Balmer-dominated shocks in Tycho's supernova remnant
Sladjana Knežević, Ronald Läsker, Glenn van de Ven +4
We present Fabry-Pérot interferometric observations of the narrow H component in the shock front of the historical supernova remnant Tycho (SN 1572). Using GHFaS (Galaxy H…
A discrete chemo-dynamical model of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor: mass profile, velocity anisotropy and internal rotation
Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Laura L. Watkins +1
We present a new discrete chemo-dynamical axisymmetric modeling technique, which we apply to the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor. The major improvement over previous Jeans models…
A discrete chemo-dynamical model of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5846: dark matter fraction, internal rotation and velocity anisotropy out to six effective radii
Ling Zhu, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Glenn van de Ven +7
We construct a suite of discrete chemo-dynamical models of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5846. These models are a powerful tool to constrain both the mass distribution and intern…
Being WISE II: Reducing the Influence of Star Formation History on the Mass-to-Light Ratio of Quiescent Galaxies
Mark A. Norris, Glenn Van de Ven, Eva Schinnerer +8
Stellar population synthesis models can now reproduce the photometry of old stellar systems (age 2 Gyr) in the near-infrared (NIR) bands at 3.4 and 4.6m (WISE W1 W2 or…
Abundance ratios and IMF slope in the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC~1396 with MUSE
J. J. Mentz, F La Barbera, R. F. Peletier +16
Deep observations of the dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxy NGC 1396 (M, Mass M), located in the Fornax cluster, have been performed with the VLT/…
The Califa and Hipass velocity function for all morphological galaxy types
S. Bekeraitė, C. J. Walcher, L. Wisotzki +17
The velocity function is a fundamental observable statistic of the galaxy population, similarly impor- tant as the luminosity function, but much more difficult to measure. In this…
IMF shape constraints from stellar populations and dynamics from CALIFA
M. Lyubenova, I. Martín-Navarro, G. van de Ven +22
In this letter we describe how we use stellar dynamics information to constrain the shape of the stellar IMF in a sample of 27 early-type galaxies from the CALIFA survey. We obtain…
The space density distribution of galaxies in the absolute magnitude - rotation velocity plane: a volume-complete Tully-Fisher relation from CALIFA stellar kinematics
S. Bekeraitė, C. J. Walcher, J. Falcón-Barroso +13
The space density distribution of galaxies in the absolute magnitude - rotation velocity plane: a volume-complete Tully-Fisher relation from CALIFA stellar kinematics
The low dark matter content of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3998
N. F. Boardman, A. Weijmans, R. C. E. van den Bosch +8
We observed the lenticular galaxy NGC 3998 with the Mitchell Integral-Field Spectrograph and extracted line-of-sight velocity distributions out to 3 half-light radii. We constructe…
First survey of Wolf-Rayet star populations over the full extension of nearby galaxies observed with CALIFA
D. Miralles-Caballero, A. I. Díaz, Á. R. López-Sánchez +19
The search of extragalactic regions with conspicuous presence of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars outside the Local Group is challenging task due to the difficulties in detecting their faint…
Creating lenticular galaxies with major mergers
Miguel Querejeta, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Trinidad Tapia +8
Lenticular galaxies (S0s) represent the majority of early-type galaxies in the local Universe, but their formation channels are still poorly understood. While galaxy mergers are ob…
Nearby supernova host galaxies from the CALIFA Survey: II. SN environmental metallicity
L. Galbany, V. Stanishev, A. M. Mourão +16
The metallicity of a supernova (SN) progenitor, together with its mass, is one of the main parameters that rules their outcome. We present a metallicity study of 115 nearby SN host…
