Accelerations of stars in central 2-7 arcsec from Sgr A*
A. Young, S. Gillessen, T. de Zeeuw +10
This work presents the results from extending the long-term monitoring program of stellar motions within the Galactic Center to include stars with separations of 2 - 7 arcseconds f…
The young stars in the Galactic Center
Sebastiano von Fellenberg, Stefan Gillessen, Julia Stadler +11
We present a large spectroscopic survey of the Galactic Center using the SINFONI IFU at the VLT. Combining observations of the last two decades we compile s…
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…
The Fornax3D project: discovery of ancient massive merger events in the Fornax cluster galaxies NGC 1380 and NGC 1427
Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman +16
We report the discovery of ancient massive merger events in the early-type galaxies NGC 1380 and NGC 1427, members of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Both galaxies have been observed by…
MUSE observations of the counter-rotating nuclear ring in NGC 7742
Thomas P. K. Martinsson, Marc Sarzi, Johan H. Knapen +4
We present results from MUSE observations of the nearly face-on disk galaxy NGC 7742. This galaxy hosts a spectacular nuclear ring of enhanced star formation, which is unusual in t…
A low upper mass limit for the central black hole in the late-type galaxy NGC 4414
Sabine Thater, Davor Krajnović, Martin A. Bourne +7
We present our mass estimate of the central black hole in the isolated spiral galaxy NGC 4414. Using natural guide star adaptive optics assisted observations with the Gemini Near-I…
Mapping the inner regions of the polar disk galaxy NGC4650A with MUSE
E. Iodice, L. Coccato, F. Combes +6
[abridged] The polar disk galaxy NGC4650A was observed during the commissioning of the MUSE at the ESO VLT to obtain the first 2D map of the velocity and velocity dispersion for bo…
A re-evaluation of the central velocity-dispersion profile in NGC 6388
Nora Lützgendorf, Karl Gebhardt, Holger Baumgardt +4
Recently, two independent groups found very different results when measuring the central velocity dispersion of the galactic globular cluster NGC 6388 with different methods. While…
Intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters: observations and simulations
Nora Lützgendorf, Markus Kissler-Patig, Karl Gebhardt +9
The study of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is a young and promising field of research. Formed by runaway collisions of massive stars in young and dense stellar clusters, in…
The MUSE 3D view of the Hubble Deep Field South
R. Bacon, J. Brinchmann, J. Richard +35
We observed the Hubble Deep Field South with the new panoramic integral field spectrograph MUSE that we built and just commissioned at the VLT. The data cube resulting from 27 hour…
The SAURON project - XIII. SAURON-GALEX study of early-type galaxies: the ultraviolet colour-magnitude relations and Fundamental Planes
Hyunjin Jeong, Sukyoung K. Yi, Martin Bureau +13
We present GALEX far (FUV) and near (NUV) ultraviolet imaging of 34 nearby early-type galaxies from the SAURON representative sample of 48 E/S0 galaxies, all of which have ground-b…
