The Atlas3D Project - XXX. Star formation histories and stellar population scaling relations of early-type galaxies

Richard M. McDermid, Katherine Alatalo, Leo Blitz +20

We present the stellar population content of early-type galaxies from the Atlas3D survey. Using spectra integrated within apertures covering up to one effective radius, we apply tw…

The Atlas3D project -- XXIX. The new look of early-type galaxies and surrounding fields disclosed by extremely deep optical images

Pierre-Alain Duc, Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Emin Karabal +24

Galactic archeology based on star counts is instrumental to reconstruct the past mass assembly of Local Group galaxies. The development of new observing techniques and data-reducti…

Connection between dynamically derived IMF normalisation and stellar population parameters

Richard M. McDermid, Michele Cappellari, Katherine Alatalo +22

We report on empirical trends between the dynamically determined stellar initial mass function (IMF) and stellar population properties for a complete, volume-limited sample of 260…

The Atlas3D project - XXIV. The intrinsic shape distribution of early-type galaxies

Anne-Marie Weijmans, P. T. de Zeeuw, Eric Emsellem +23

We use the Atlas3D sample to perform a study of the intrinsic shapes of early-type galaxies, taking advantage of the available combined photometric and kinematic data. Based on our…

The ATLAS3D Project - XXVIII. Dynamically-driven star formation suppression in early-type galaxies

Timothy A. Davis, Lisa M. Young, Alison F. Crocker +22

We present measurements of the star formation rate (SFR) in the early-type galaxies (ETGs) of the ATLAS3D sample, based on Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) 22um and Galax…

A systematic variation of the stellar initial mass function in early-type galaxies

Michele Cappellari, Richard M. McDermid, Katherine Alatalo +22

Much of our knowledge of galaxies comes from analysing the radiation emitted by their stars. It depends on the stellar initial mass function (IMF) describing the distribution of st…
