Recovery of the low- and high-mass end slopes of the IMF in massive early-type galaxies using detailed elemental abundances

Mark den Brok, Davor Krajnović, Eric Emsellem +3

Star formation in the early Universe has left its imprint on the chemistry of observable stars in galaxies. We derive elemental abundances and the slope of the low-mass end of the…

On the robustness of triaxial Schwarzschild modelling: The effects of correcting the orbit mirroring

Sabine Thater, Prashin Jethwa, Behzad Tahmasebzadeh +13

In the past 15 years, the triaxial Schwarzschild orbit-superposition code by van den Bosch et al. (2008) has been widely applied to study the dynamics of galaxies. Recently, Quenne…

Detection of a 100,000 M black hole in M31's most massive globular cluster: A tidally stripped nucleus

Renuka Pechetti, Anil Seth, Sebastian Kamann +6

We investigate the presence of a central black hole (BH) in B023-G078, M31's most massive globular cluster. We present high-resolution, adaptive-optics assisted, integral-field spe…

Spatially Resolving the Star Formation Histories of Three Nearby Nuclear Star Clusters

Christian H. Hannah, Anil C. Seth, Dieu D. Nguyen +4

The formation of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) remains an open question. In this work, we use spatially resolved HST/STIS spectroscopic observations of three nearby NSCs (hosted by…

Abundance ratios in dwarf elliptical galaxies

Ş. Şen, R. F. Peletier, A. Boselli +14

We determine abundance ratios of 37 dwarf ellipticals (dEs) in the nearby Virgo cluster. This sample is representative of the early-type population of galaxies in the absolute magn…

Detection of Supermassive Black Holes in Two Virgo Ultracompact Dwarf Galaxies

Christopher P. Ahn, Anil C. Seth, Mark den Brok +13

We present the detection of supermassive black holes (BHs) in two Virgo ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), VUCD3 and M59cO. We use adaptive optics assisted data from the Gemini/NI…
