Suppression of Star Formation in NGC 1266
K. Alatalo, M. Lacy, L. Lanz +11
NGC1266 is a nearby lenticular galaxy that harbors a massive outflow of molecular gas powered by the mechanical energy of an active galactic nucleus (AGN). It has been speculated t…
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…
Systematic variation of the 12CO/13CO ratio as a function of star-formation rate surface density
Timothy A. Davis
We show that the12CO/13CO intensity ratio in nearby galaxies varies systematically as a function of the star formation rate surface density and gas surface density. The same effect…
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…
A Thirty Kiloparsec Chain of "Beads on a String" Star Formation Between Two Merging Early Type Galaxies in the Core of a Strong-Lensing Galaxy Cluster
Grant R. Tremblay, Michael D. Gladders, Stefi A. Baum +10
New Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet and optical imaging of the strong-lensing galaxy cluster SDSS J1531+3414 (z=0.335) reveals two centrally dominant elliptical galaxies partici…
The origin of the atomic and molecular gas contents of early-type galaxies. I. A new test of galaxy formation physics
Claudia del P. Lagos, T. A. Davis, C. G. Lacey +4
We study the atomic (HI) and molecular hydrogen (H2) contents of early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their gas sources using the GALFORM model of galaxy formation. This model uses a sel…
A figure of merit for black hole mass measurements with molecular gas
Timothy A. Davis
In this work we discuss the technique of using molecular gas kinematics (or the kinematics of any dynamically cold tracer) to estimate black hole masses. We present a figure of mer…
ALMA resolves turbulent, rotating [CII] emission in a young starburst galaxy at z=4.8
Carlos De Breuck, Rebecca J. Williams, Mark Swinbank +9
We present spatially resolved Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) [CII] observations of the z=4.7555 submillimetre galaxy, ALESS 73.1. Our 0.5" FWHM map resolves th…
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…
The Herschel Fornax Cluster Survey II: FIR properties of optically-selected Fornax cluster galaxies
C. Fuller, J. I. Davies, R. Auld +13
The Fornax Cluster Survey (HeFoCS) is a deep, far-infrared (FIR) survey of the Fornax cluster. The survey is in 5 bands (100 - 500 m) and covers an area of…
The Atlas3D project - XXVI. HI discs in real and simulated fast and slow rotators
Paolo Serra, Ludwig Oser, Davor Krajnovic +24
One quarter of all nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) outside Virgo host a disc/ring of HI with size from a few to tens of kpc and mass up to ~1e+9 solar masses. Here we investigate…
