Dynamical modelling of stars and gas in NGC2974: determination of mass-to-light ratio, inclination and orbital structure by Schwarzschild's method
Davor Krajnovic, Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem +2
We study the large-scale stellar and gaseous kinematics of the E4 galaxy NGC2974, based on panoramic integral-field data obtained with SAURON. We quantify the velocity fields with…
Extragalactic science at very high spectral resolution
Eric Emsellem
I briefly mention a few possible applications of very high spectral resolution spectroscopy with CRIRES to the study of nearby galaxies. This includes the fields of AGN, dynamicall…
Long-Lived Triaxiality in the Dynamically Old Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4365: A Limit on Chaos and Black Hole Mass
Thomas S. Statler, Eric Emsellem, Reynier F. Peletier +1
Supermassive black holes in the centres of giant elliptical galaxies are thought to induce chaos and eliminate triaxiality in their hosts. We address whether this process operates…
Why (inner) bars are important but not sufficient
Eric Emsellem
I briefly report on the work conducted to probe the gravitational potential of active and non-active disk galaxies using two-dimensional gas and stellar kinematics, first emphasizi…
The SAURON project - III. Integral-field absorption-line kinematics of 48 elliptical and lenticular galaxies
E. Emsellem, M. Cappellari, R. F. Peletier +9
We present the stellar kinematics of 48 representative elliptical and lenticular galaxies obtained with our custom-built integral-field spectrograph SAURON operating on the William…
Formation and evolution of S0 galaxies: a SAURON case study of NGC7332
J. Falcón-Barroso, R. F. Peletier, E. Emsellem +8
We present SAURON integral-field observations of the S0 galaxy NGC7332. Existing broad-band ground-based and HST photometry reveals a double disk structure and a boxy bulge interpr…
