The Atlas3D Project -- XI. Dense molecular gas properties of CO-luminous early-type galaxies
Alison Crocker, Melanie Krips, Martin Bureau +24
Surveying eighteen 12CO-bright galaxies from the ATLAS3D early-type galaxy sample with the Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) 30m telescope, we detect 13CO(1-0) and…
A Dynamical N-body Model for the Central Region of Centauri
B. Jalali, H. Baumgardt, M. Kissler-Patig +4
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are fundamental keys to understand the formation and evolution of their host galaxies. However, the formation and growth of SMBHs are not yet well…
The Atlas3D project -- XIII. Mass and morphology of HI in early-type galaxies as a function of environment
Paolo Serra, Tom Oosterloo, Raffaella Morganti +23
We present the Atlas3D HI survey of 166 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) down to M(HI)~10^7 M_sun. We detect HI in ~40% of all ETGs outside the Virgo cluster and in ~10% of all ET…
The SAURON Project - XX. The Spitzer [3.6] - [4.5] colour in early-type galaxies: colours, colour gradients and inverted scaling relations
Reynier F. Peletier, Elif Kutdemir, Guido van der Wolk +15
We investigate the [3.6] - [4.5] Spitzer-IRAC colour behaviour of the early-type galaxies of the SAURON survey, a representative sample of 48 nearby ellipticals and lenticulars. We…
Grigori Kuzmin and Stellar Dynamics
P. Tim de Zeeuw, Glenn van de Ven
Grigori Kuzmin was a very gifted dynamicist and one of the towering figures in the distinguished history of the Tartu Observatory. He obtained a number of important results in rela…
The ATLAS3D Project-- VIII: Modelling the Formation and Evolution of Fast and Slow Rotator Early-Type Galaxies within CDM
Sadegh Khochfar, Eric Emsellem, Paolo Serra +22
We propose a simple model for the origin of fast and slow rotator early-type galaxies (ETG) within the hierarchical CDM scenario, that is based on the assumption that the mass f…
Kinematic signature of an intermediate-mass black hole in the globular cluster NGC 6388
N. Lützgendorf, M. Kissler-Patig, E. Noyola +4
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are of interest in a wide range of astrophysical fields. In particular, the possibility of finding them at the centers of globular clusters ha…
The SAURON Project - XIX. Optical and near-infrared scaling relations of nearby elliptical, lenticular and Sa galaxies
J. Falcón-Barroso, G. van de Ven, R. F. Peletier +16
[Abridged] We present ground-based MDM V-band and Spitzer/IRAC 3.6um-band photometric observations of the 72 representative galaxies of the SAURON Survey. In combination with the S…
The Atlas3D project - X. On the origin of the molecular and ionised gas in early-type galaxies
Timothy A. Davis, Katherine Alatalo, Marc Sarzi +22
We make use of interferometric CO and HI observations, and optical integral-field spectroscopy to probe the origin of the molecular and ionised interstellar medium (ISM) in local e…
The Atlas-3D project - IX. The merger origin of a fast and a slow rotating Early-Type Galaxy revealed with deep optical imaging: first results
Pierre-Alain Duc, Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Paolo Serra +24
The mass assembly of galaxies leaves imprints in their outskirts, such as shells and tidal tails. The frequency and properties of such fine structures depend on the main acting mec…
The Atlas3D Project - VI. Simulations of binary galaxy mergers and the link with Fast Rotators, Slow Rotators, and Kinematically Distinct Cores
Maxime Bois, Eric Emsellem, Frederic Bournaud +21
We study the formation of early-type galaxies through mergers with a sample of 70 high-resolution (softening length < 60 pc and 12*10^6 particles) numerical simulations of binary m…
The Atlas3D project - VII. A new look at the morphology of nearby galaxies: the kinematic morphology-density relation
Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem, Davor Krajnovic +20
We look at the morphology of fast and slow rotator early-type galaxies. Edge-on fast rotators are lenticular galaxies. They appear like spiral galaxies with the gas and dust remove…
Discovery of an AGN-Driven Molecular Outflow in the Local Early-Type Galaxy NGC 1266
Katherine Alatalo, Leo Blitz, Lisa M. Young +26
We report the discovery of a powerful molecular wind from the nucleus of the non-interacting nearby S0 field galaxy NGC 1266. The single-dish CO profile exhibits emission to +/- 40…
The Planetary Nebulae Population in the Central Regions of M32: the SAURON view
Marc Sarzi, Gary Mamon, Michele Cappellari +4
Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are not only useful as distance signposts or as tracers of the dark-matter content of their host galaxies, but constitute also good indicators…
The ATLAS3D project - II. Morphologies, kinemetric features and alignment between photometric and kinematic axes of early-type galaxies
Davor Krajnovic, Eric Emsellem, Michele Cappellari +20
[Abridged] We use the ATLAS3D sample of 260 early-type galaxies (ETGs) to study the apparent kinematic misalignment angle, Psi, defined as the angle between the photometric and kin…

Lisa M. Young, Martin Bureau, Timothy A. Davis +21
We have carried out a survey for 12CO J=1-0 and J=2-1 emission in the 260 early-type galaxies of the volume-limited Atlas3D sample, with the goal of connecting their star formation…
The Atlas3D project - V. The CO Tully-Fisher relation of early-type galaxies
Timothy A. Davis, Martin Bureau, Lisa M. Young +20
We demonstrate here using both single-dish and interferometric observations that CO molecules are an excellent kinematic tracer, even in high-mass galaxies, allowing us to investig…
