The VIRUS-dE Survey I: Stars in dwarf elliptical galaxies - 3D dynamics and radially resolved stellar initial mass functions
Mathias Lipka, Jens Thomas, Roberto Saglia +9
We analyse the stellar structure of a sample of dwarf ellipticals (dE) inhabiting various environments within the Virgo cluster. Integral-field observations with a high spectral re…
Dynamical analysis of the dark matter and central black hole mass in the dwarf spheroidal Leo I
Maria Jose Bustamante-Rosell, Eva Noyola, Karl Gebhardt +4
We measure the central kinematics for the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I using integrated-light measurements and previously published data. We find a steady rise in the velocity dis…
A 40-billion solar mass black hole in the extreme core of Holm 15A, the central galaxy of Abell 85
K. Mehrgan, J. Thomas, R. Saglia +5
Holm 15A, the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the galaxy cluster Abell 85, has an ultra-diffuse central region, 2 mag fainter than the faintest depleted core of any early-type ga…
Powerful outflows in the central parsecs of the low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus NGC 1386
A. Rodríguez-Ardila, M. A. Prieto, X. Mazzalay +3
Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei, i.e. L_bol/L_edd ~ 10^-6 - 10^-3, constitute the bulk population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Powerful jets, common in these objects, ar…
The SINFONI Black Hole Survey: The Black Hole Fundamental Plane revisited and the paths of (co-) evolution of supermassive black holes and bulges
R. P. Saglia, M. Opitsch, P. Erwin +7
We investigate the correlations between the black hole mass , the velocity dispersion , the bulge mass , the bulge average spherical density and its spheri…
Molecular gas in the centre of nearby galaxies from VLT/SINFONI integral field spectroscopy - II. Kinematics
X. Mazzalay, W. Maciejewski, P. Erwin +6
We present an analysis of the H2 emission-line gas kinematics in the inner < 4 arcsec radius of six nearby spiral galaxies, based on AO-assisted integral-field observations obtaine…
Resolving the coronal line region of NGC1068 with near-infrared integral field spectroscopy
X. Mazzalay, A. Rodríguez-Ardila, S. Komossa +1
We present adaptive optics-assisted J- and K-band integral field spectroscopy of the inner 300 x 300 pc of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068. The data were obtained with the Gemini NIFS…
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…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological implications of the large-scale two-point correlation function
Ariel G. Sanchez, C. G. Scoccola, A. J. Ross +53
We obtain constraints on cosmological parameters from the spherically averaged redshift-space correlation function of the CMASS Data Release 9 (DR9) sample of the Baryonic Oscillat…
Demystifying the coronal line region of active galactic nuclei: spatially resolved spectroscopy with HST
Ximena Mazzalay, Alberto Rodríguez-Ardila, S. Komossa
We present an analysis of STIS/HST optical spectra of a sample of ten Seyfert galaxies aimed at studying the structure and physical properties of the coronal-line region (CLR). The…
The near-infrared spectrum of Mrk 1239: direct evidence of the dusty torus?
A. Rodriguez-Ardila, X. Mazzalay
We report 0.8-4.5 micron SpeX spectroscopy of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk1239. The spectrum is outstanding because the nuclear continuum emission in the near-infrared is d…
