Two-integral Schwarzschild models
E. K. Verolme, P. T. de Zeeuw
We describe a practical method for constructing axisymmetric two-integral galaxy models (with distribution functions of the form f(E,L_z), in which E is the orbital energy, and L_z…
Spiral Galaxies with HST/NICMOS. II. Isophotal Fits and Nuclear Cusp Slopes
M. Seigar, C. M. Carollo, M. Stiavelli +2
We present surface brightness profiles for 56 of the 78 spiral galaxies observed in the HST/{\tt NICMOS/Camera-2} F160W snapshot survey introduced in Carollo et al. (2001; paper I)…
Spiral Galaxies with HST/NICMOS. I. Nuclear Morphologies, Color Maps and Distinct Nuclei
C. M. Carollo, M. Stiavelli, M. Seigar +2
This is the first of two papers where we present the analysis of an HST NICMOS-Cam2 near-infared (NIR) snapshot survey in the F160W (H) filter for a sample of 78 spiral galaxies se…
The SAURON project. II. Sample and early results
P. T. de Zeeuw, M. Bureau, E. Emsellem +9
Early results are reported from the SAURON survey of the kinematics and stellar populations of a representative sample of nearby E, S0 and Sa galaxies. The survey is aimed at deter…
MIFS: A Mega Integral Field Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Bacon, G. Adam, S. Cabrit +14
We describe MIFS, a second generation integral-field spectrograph for the VLT, operating in the visible wavelength range. It combines a 1'x1' field of view with the improved spatia…
Self-consistent axisymmetric Sridhar-Touma models
Mir Abbas Jalali, P. Tim de Zeeuw
We construct phase-space distribution functions for the oblate, cuspy mass models of Sridhar & Touma, which may contain a central point mass (black hole) and have potentials of Stä…
The SAURON project. I. The panoramic integral-field spectrograph
R. Bacon, Y. Copin, G. Monnet +10
A new integral-field spectrograph, SAURON, is described. It is based on the Tiger principle, and uses a lenslet array. SAURON has a large field of view and high throughput, and all…
GAIA: Composition, Formation and Evolution of the Galaxy
M. A. C. Perryman, K. S. de Boer, G. Gilmore +7
The GAIA astrometric mission has recently been approved as one of the next two `cornerstones' of ESA's science programme, with a launch date target of not later than mid-2012. GAIA…
