Axisymmetric mass models of S0 and spiral galaxies with boxy bulges: mass-to-light ratios, dark matter and bars
Michael J. Williams, Martin Bureau, Michele Cappellari
We examine a sample of 30 edge-on spiral and S0 galaxies that have boxy and peanut-shaped bulges. We compute model stellar kinematics by solving the Jeans equations for axisymmetri…
The mass of the black hole in Centaurus A from SINFONI AO-assisted integral-field observations of stellar kinematics
Michele Cappellari, N. Neumayer, J. Reunanen +3
We present a determination of the mass of the supermassive black hole (BH) and the nuclear stellar orbital distribution of the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (NGC5128) using high-re…
Stellar Velocity Profiles and Line-Strengths out to Four Effective Radii in the Early-Type Galaxy NGC 3379
A. Weijmans, M. Cappellari, P. T. de Zeeuw +6
We describe a new technique to measure stellar kinematics and line-strengths at large radii in nearby galaxies. Using the integral-field spectrograph SAURON as a 'photon-collector'…
Specific Angular Momentum of Disc Merger Remnants and the -Parameter
Roland Jesseit, Michele Cappellari, Thorsten Naab +2
We use two-dimensional kinematic maps of simulated binary disc mergers to investigate the -parameter, which is a luminosity weighted measure of projected angular momentum per…
The SAURON project - XII. Kinematic substructures in early-type galaxies: evidence for disks in fast rotators
Davor Krajnovic, R. Bacon, Michele Cappellari +10
[Abridged] We analysed two-dimensional maps of 48 early-type galaxies obtained with the SAURON and OASIS integral-field spectrographs using kinemetry, a generalisation of surface p…
The Einstein Cross: constraint on dark matter from stellar dynamics and gravitational lensing
Glenn van de Ven, Jesus Falcon-Barroso, Richard M. McDermid +3
[Abridged] We present two-dimensional line-of-sight stellar kinematics of the lens galaxy in the Einstein Cross, obtained with the GEMINI 8m telescope, using the GMOS integral-fiel…
