The Stellar IMF and Dark Matter Halo of ESO0286: Constraints from Strong Lensing and Dynamics
Han Wang, Jens Thomas, Mathias Lipka +4
The internal mass structure of elliptical galaxies offers critical insights into galaxy formation, yet disentangling stellar mass from dark matter and determining the stellar initi…
Eight New Ultramassive Black Hole Masses confirm Best Correlation with Galaxy Core Sizes
Stefano de Nicola, Jens Thomas, Roberto P. Saglia +3
We analyse black-hole scaling relations at the high-mass end, focusing in particular on the regime of ultra-massive black holes, $\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{BH} > 10^{10}\,\mathrm{M}_\odot…
Euclid: The - relation as a function of redshift. I. The black hole in NGC 1272
R. Saglia, K. Mehrgan, S. de Nicola +148
Core ellipticals, massive early-type galaxies have an almost constant inner surface brightness profile. The size of the core region correlates with the mass of the finally merged b…
Triaxial Schwarzschild Models of NGC 708: a 10-billion solar mass black hole in a low dispersion galaxy with a Kroupa IMF
Stefano de Nicola, Jens Thomas, Roberto P. Saglia +3
We report the discovery of a M Supermassive Black Hole (BH) at the centre of NGC 708, the Brightest Cluster Galaxy of Abell 262. Such high B…
