Triaxial Schwarzschild Models of Brightest Cluster Galaxies with Long-Slit LBT Data
Stefano de Nicola, Roberto P. Saglia, Jens Thomas +3
We present new long-slit stellar kinematics for a sample of 21 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and triaxial Schwarzschild models for 16 of these objects using our orbit modelling…
The isotropic center of NGC 5419 -- A core in formation?
Bianca Neureiter, Jens Thomas, Antti Rantala +5
With its cored surface brightness profile, the elliptical galaxy NGC 5419 appears as a typical high-mass early-type galaxy (ETG). However, the galaxy hosts two distinct nuclei in i…
Accuracy and precision of triaxial orbit models I: SMBH mass, stellar mass and dark-matter halo
B. Neureiter, S. de Nicola, J. Thomas +3
We investigate the accuracy and precision of triaxial dynamical orbit models by fitting two dimensional mock observations of a realistic N-body merger simulation resembling a massi…
Euclid preparation: XX. The Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation survey: LBT observations and data release
Euclid Collaboration, R. Saglia, S. De Nicola +183
The Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation survey (C3R2) is a spectroscopic programme designed to empirically calibrate the galaxy color-redshift relation to the Eucli…
Intrinsic shapes of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Stefano de Nicola, Roberto P. Saglia, Jens Thomas +5
We discuss the statistical distribution of galaxy shapes and viewing angles under the assumption of triaxiality by deprojecting observed Surface Brightness (SB) profiles of 56 Brig…
