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'…
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…
Measuring the inclination and mass-to-light ratio of axisymmetric galaxies via anisotropic Jeans models of stellar kinematics
Michele Cappellari
We present a simple and efficient anisotropic generalization of the semi-isotropic (two-integral) axisymmetric Jeans formalism which is used to model the stellar kinematics of gala…
