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…
The SAURON project - XVII. Stellar population analysis of the absorption line strength maps of 48 early-type galaxies
Harald Kuntschner, Eric Emsellem, Roland Bacon +11
(Abridged) We present a stellar population analysis of the absorption line strength maps for 48 early-type galaxies from the SAURON sample. Using the line strength index maps of Hb…
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…
