The SLUGGS Survey: stellar masses and effective radii of early-type galaxies from Spitzer Space Telescope 3.6m imaging
Duncan A. Forbes, Luciana Sinpetru, Giulia Savorgnan +3
Galaxy starlight at 3.6m is an excellent tracer of stellar mass. Here we use the latest 3.6m imaging from the Spitzer Space Telescope to measure the total stellar mass and ef…
Disky elliptical galaxies and the allegedly over-massive black hole in the compact massive `ES' galaxy NGC 1271
Alister W. Graham, Bogdan C. Ciambur, Giulia A. D. Savorgnan
While spiral and lenticular galaxies have large-scale disks extending beyond their bulges, and most local early-type galaxies with 10^{10} < M_*/M_Sun < 2x10^{11} contain a disk (e…
Supermassive black holes and their host spheroids III. The correlation
Giulia A. D. Savorgnan
The Sérsic model is the best approximation known to date for describing the light distribution of stellar spheroidal and disk components, with the Sérsic index provid…
Selection bias in dynamically-measured super-massive black hole samples: its consequences and the quest for the most fundamental relation
Francesco Shankar, Mariangela Bernardi, Ravi K. Sheth +7
We compare the set of local galaxies having dynamically measured black holes with a large, unbiased sample of galaxies extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We confirm earli…
A normal supermassive black hole in NGC 1277
Alister W. Graham, Mark Durré, Giulia A. D. Savorgnan +5
The identification of galaxies with `overly massive' black holes requires two measurements: a black hole mass (M_bh) and a host spheroid mass (M_sph,*). Here we provide our measure…
