The central mass and mass-to-light profile of the Galactic globular cluster M15
Mark den Brok, Glenn van de Ven, Remco van den Bosch +1
We analyze line-of-sight velocity and proper motion data of stars in the Galactic globular cluster M15 using a new method to fit dynamical models to discrete kinematic data. Our fi…
The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - VII. Structure and Assembly of Massive Galaxies in the Center of the Coma Cluster
Tim Weinzirl, Shardha Jogee, Eyal Neistein +16
We constrain the assembly history of galaxies in the projected central 0.5 Mpc of the Coma cluster by performing structural decomposition on 69 massive (M_star >= 10^9 M_sun) galax…
A near-infrared census of the multi-component stellar structure of early-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster
J. Janz, E. Laurikainen, T. Lisker +12
The fraction of star-forming to quiescent dwarf galaxies varies from almost infinity in the field to zero in the centers of rich galaxy clusters. What is causing this pronounced mo…
Discrete dynamical modelling of omega Centauri
Laura L. Watkins, Glenn van de Ven, Mark den Brok +1
We present a new framework for modelling discrete kinematic data. Current techniques typically involve binning. Our approach works directly with the discrete data and uses maximum-…
Using Megamaser Disks to Probe Black Hole Accretion
Jenny E. Greene, Anil Seth, Mark den Brok +7
We examine the alignment between H_2O megamaser disks on sub-pc scales with circumnuclear disks and bars on <500 pc scales observed with HST/WFC3. The HST imaging reveals young sta…
