The SAURON project XVI: On the Sources of Ionisation for the Gas in Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies

Marc Sarzi, Joseph C. Shields, Kevin Schawinski +16

Following our study on the incidence, morphology and kinematics of the ionised gas in early-type galaxies we now address the question of what is powering the observed nebular emiss…

The Gemini/HST Cluster Project: Structural and Photometric Properties of Galaxies in Three z =0.28-0.89 Clusters

Kristin Chiboucas, Jordi Barr, Kathleen Flint +3

We present the data processing and analysis techniques we are using to determine structural and photometric properties of galaxies in our Gemini/HST Galaxy Cluster Project sample.…

Determination of masses of the central black holes in NGC524 and NGC2549 using Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics

Davor Krajnovic, Richard M. McDermid, Michele Cappellari +1

[abridged] We present observations of NGC524 and NGC2549 with LGS AO obtained at GEMINI North telescope using the NIFS IFU in the K band. The purpose of these observations, togethe…

The SAURON project - XIII. SAURON-GALEX study of early-type galaxies: the ultraviolet colour-magnitude relations and Fundamental Planes

Hyunjin Jeong, Sukyoung K. Yi, Martin Bureau +13

We present GALEX far (FUV) and near (NUV) ultraviolet imaging of 34 nearby early-type galaxies from the SAURON representative sample of 48 E/S0 galaxies, all of which have ground-b…

The SAURON Project - XIV. No escape from V: a global and local parameter in early-type galaxy evolution

Nicholas Scott, Michele Cappellari, Roger L. Davies +13

We present the results of an investigation of the local escape velocity (Vesc) - line strength index relationship for 48 early type galaxies from the SAURON sample, the first such…

Transient Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Populations in Elliptical Galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 4278

T. Fragos, V. Kalogera, B. Willems +12

We propose a physically motivated and self-consistent prescription for the modeling of transient neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) properties, such as duty cycle (DC),…
