Formation of central massive objects via tidal compression
Eric Emsellem, Glenn van de Ven
For a density that is not too sharply peaked towards the center, the local tidal field becomes compressive in all three directions. Available gas can then collapse and form a clust…
Spiral Galaxies in the SAURON Survey
Reynier F. Peletier, Katia Ganda, Jesus Falcon-Barroso +11
We discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals.…
Fast and Slow Rotators: The build-up of the Red Sequence
Eric Emsellem, Michele Cappellari, Davor Krajnovic +11
Using the unique dataset obtained within the course of the SAURON project, a radically new view of the structure, dynamics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies has emerge…
Supermassive black holes from OASIS and SAURON integral-field kinematics
M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, R. L. Davies +10
Supermassive black holes are a key element in our understanding of how galaxies form. Most of the progress in this very active field of research is based on just ~30 determinations…
Recent Star Formation in Nearby Early-type Galaxies
M. Sarzi, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9
Motivated by recent progress in the study of early-type galaxies owing to technological advances, the launch of new space telescopes and large ground-based surveys, we attempt a sh…
Towards a new classification of early-type galaxies: an integral-field view
J. Falcón-Barroso, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9
In this proceeding we make use of the two-dimensional stellar kinematics of a representative sample of E and S0 galaxies obtained with the SAURON integral-field spectrograph to rev…
