On the origin and fate of ionised-gas in early-type galaxies: the SAURON perspective
M. Sarzi, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9
By detecting ionised-gas emission in 75% of the cases, the SAURON integral-field spectroscopic survey has further demonstrated that early-type galaxies often display nebular emissi…
The SAURON project - VIII. OASIS/CFHT integral-field spectroscopy of elliptical and lenticular galaxy centres
R. M. McDermid, E. Emsellem, K. L. Shapiro +10
We present high spatial resolution integral-field spectroscopy of 28 elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies from the SAURON representative survey obtained with the OASIS spect…
Probing unexplored territories with MUSE: a second generation instrument for the VLT
R. Bacon, S. Bauer, P. Boehm +57
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a second-generation VLT panoramic integral-field spectrograph under preliminary design study. MUSE has a field of 1x1 arcmin**2 samp…
Neutral hydrogen in nearby elliptical and lenticular galaxies: the continuing formation of early-type galaxies
R. Morganti, P. T. de Zeeuw, T. A. Oosterloo +6
(Abridged) We present deep WSRT observations of neutral hydrogen in 12 nearby elliptical and lenticular galaxies. The selected objects come from a representative sample of nearby g…
The Black Hole in NGC 3379: A Comparison of Gas and Stellar Dynamical Mass Measurements with HST and Integral-Field Data
Kristen L. Shapiro, Michele Cappellari, Tim de Zeeuw +4
We combine Hubble Space Telescope spectroscopy and ground-based integral-field data from the SAURON and OASIS instruments to study the central black hole in the nearby elliptical g…
The SAURON project - VII. Integral-field absorption and emission-line kinematics of 24 spiral galaxy bulges
J. Falcón-Barroso, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +10
(Abridged) We present observations of the stellar and gas kinematics for a representative sample of 24 Sa galaxies obtained with our custom-built integral-field spectrograph SAURON…
SAURON observations of Sa bulges: the formation of a kinematically decoupled core in NGC5953
J. Falcón-Barroso, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +10
We present results from our ongoing effort to understand the nature and evolution of nearby galaxies using the SAURON integral-field spectrograph. In this proceeding we focus on th…
Young Kinematically Decoupled Components in Early-Type Galaxies
Richard M. McDermid, Eric Emsellem, Kristen L. Shapiro +10
We present results from a series of follow-up observations of a sub-sample of the representative SAURON survey elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies using the OASIS integral-…
The SAURON project - VI. Line strength maps of 48 elliptical and lenticular galaxies
H. Kuntschner, E. Emsellem, R. Bacon +9
We present absorption line strength maps of 48 representative elliptical and lenticular galaxies obtained as part of the SAURON survey of nearby galaxies. Using high-quality spectr…
The stellar populations of E and S0 galaxies as seen with SAURON
H. Kuntschner, E. Emsellem, R. Bacon +9
We present selected results from integral-field spectroscopy of 48 early-type galaxies observed as part of the SAURON survey. Maps of the Hbeta, Fe5015, Mgb and Fe5270 indices in t…
