The discovery of a galaxy-wide superwind from a young massive galaxy at redshift z~3
R. J. Wilman, J. Gerssen, R. G. Bower +4
High-velocity galactic outflows, driven by intense bursts of star formation and black hole accretion, are invoked by current theories of galaxy formation to terminate star formatio…
Stellar Content from high resolution galactic spectra via Maximum A Posteriori
P. Ocvirk, C. Pichon, A. Lancon +1
This paper describes STECMAP (STEllar Content via Maximum A Posteriori), a flexible, non-parametric inversion method for the interpretation of the integrated light spectra of galax…
Dynamical modelling of stars and gas in NGC2974: determination of mass-to-light ratio, inclination and orbital structure by Schwarzschild's method
Davor Krajnovic, Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem +2
We study the large-scale stellar and gaseous kinematics of the E4 galaxy NGC2974, based on panoramic integral-field data obtained with SAURON. We quantify the velocity fields with…
Long-Lived Triaxiality in the Dynamically Old Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4365: A Limit on Chaos and Black Hole Mass
Thomas S. Statler, Eric Emsellem, Reynier F. Peletier +1
Supermassive black holes in the centres of giant elliptical galaxies are thought to induce chaos and eliminate triaxiality in their hosts. We address whether this process operates…
