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…
