The Atlas3D project -- I. A volume-limited sample of 260 nearby early-type galaxies: science goals and selection criteria
Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem, Davor Krajnovic +23
The Atlas3D project is a multi-wavelength survey combined with a theoretical modeling effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimeter and optical, and provide multi-…
Early-type galaxies in different environments: an HI view
Tom Oosterloo, Raffaella Morganti, Alison Crocker +8
We present an analysis of deep WSRT observations of the HI in 33 nearby early-type galaxies selected from a sample studied earlier at optical wavelengths with the SAURON integral-f…
Formation of slowly rotating early-type galaxies via major mergers: a Resolution Study
M. Bois, F. Bournaud, E. Emsellem +21
We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich and gas-poor major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly-rotating elliptical galaxies often requires a res…
The NGC 404 Nucleus: Star Cluster and Possible Intermediate Mass Black Hole
Anil C. Seth, Michele Cappellari, Nadine Neumayer +8
We examine the nuclear morphology, kinematics, and stellar populations in nearby S0 galaxy NGC 404 using a combination of adaptive optics assisted near-IR integral-field spectrosco…
Nuclear Star Clusters and Black Holes
Anil Seth, Michele Cappellari, Nadine Neumayer +8
We summarize the recent results of our survey of the nearest nuclear star clusters. The purpose of the survey is to understand nuclear star cluster formation mechanisms and constra…
Measuring the low mass end of the Mbh - sigma relation
Davor Krajnovic, Michele Cappellari, Richard M. McDermid +1
We show that high quality laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) observations of nearby early-type galaxies are possible when the tip-tilt correction is done by guiding on nuc…
