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…

Molecular gas and star formation in the red-sequence counter-rotating disc galaxy NGC 4550

Alison F. Crocker, Hyunjin Jeong, Shinya Komugi +4

We present observations of the CO(1-0) emission in the central 750 pc (10 arcsec) of the counter-rotating disc galaxy NGC 4550, obtained at the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimet…

The molecular polar disc in NGC 2768

Alison F. Crocker, Martin Bureau, Lisa M. Young +1

We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps of the molecular polar disc in the elliptical galaxy NGC 2768 obtained at the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. The maps have a resolution of…

Structure and Kinematics of Molecular Disks in Fast-Rotator Early-Type Galaxies

Lisa M. Young, Martin Bureau, Michele Cappellari

We present interferometric observations resolving the CO emission in the four gas-rich lenticular galaxies NGC 3032, NGC 4150, NGC 4459, and NGC 4526, and we compare the CO distrib…

Disk Growth in Bulge-Dominated Galaxies: Molecular Gas and Morphological Evolution

Lisa Young, Martin Bureau, Alison Crocker +1

Substantial numbers of morphologically regular early-type (elliptical and lenticular) galaxies contain molecular gas, and the quantities of gas are probably sufficient to explain r…

The SAURON project -- X. The orbital anisotropy of elliptical and lenticular galaxies: revisiting the (V/sigma,epsilon) diagram with integral-field stellar kinematics

M. Cappellari, E. Emsellem, R. Bacon +11

We analyse the orbital distribution of E and S0 galaxies using SAURON integral-field stellar kinematics. We construct the anisotropy (V/sigma,epsilon) diagram, for the 48 E/S0 gala…
