The Atlas3D project -- I. A volume-limited sample of 260 nearby early-type galaxies: science goals and selection criteria
Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem, Davor Krajnovic +23
The Atlas3D project is a multi-wavelength survey combined with a theoretical modeling effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimeter and optical, and provide multi-…
VLT Kinematics for omega Centauri: Further Support for a Central Black Hole
Eva Noyola, Karl Gebhardt, Markus Kissler-Patig +4
The Galactic globular cluster omega Centauri is a prime candidate for hosting an intermediate mass black hole. Recent measurements lead to contradictory conclusions on this issue.…
The SAURON project - XVII. Stellar population analysis of the absorption line strength maps of 48 early-type galaxies
Harald Kuntschner, Eric Emsellem, Roland Bacon +11
(Abridged) We present a stellar population analysis of the absorption line strength maps for 48 early-type galaxies from the SAURON sample. Using the line strength index maps of Hb…
Formation of slowly rotating early-type galaxies via major mergers: a Resolution Study
M. Bois, F. Bournaud, E. Emsellem +21
We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich and gas-poor major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly-rotating elliptical galaxies often requires a res…
Testing Mass Determinations of Supermassive Black Holes via Stellar Kinematics
Michele Cappellari, Richard M. McDermid, R. Bacon +10
We investigate the accuracy of mass determinations M_BH of supermassive black holes in galaxies using dynamical models of the stellar kinematics. We compare 10 of our M_BH measurem…
