The Initial Mass Function in the Nearest Strong Lenses from SNELLS: Assessing the Consistency of Lensing, Dynamical, and Spectroscopic Constraints
Andrew B. Newman, Russell J. Smith, Charlie Conroy +2
We present new observations of the three nearest early-type galaxy (ETG) strong lenses discovered in the SINFONI Nearby Elliptical Lens Locator Survey (SNELLS). Based on their lens…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function in Early-Type Galaxies From Absorption Line Spectroscopy. IV. A Super-Salpeter IMF in the center of NGC 1407 from Non-Parametric Models
Charlie Conroy, Pieter van Dokkum, Alexa Villaume
It is now well-established that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) can be determined from the absorption line spectra of old stellar systems, and this has been used to measure…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function in Early-Type Galaxies from Absorption Line Spectroscopy. III. Radial Gradients
Pieter van Dokkum, Charlie Conroy, Alexa Villaume +2
There is good evidence that the centers of massive early-type galaxies have a bottom-heavy stellar initial mass function (IMF) compared to the IMF of the Milky Way. Here we study t…
The SLUGGS Survey: The mass distribution in early-type galaxies within five effective radii and beyond
Adebusola B. Alabi, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +11
We study mass distributions within and beyond 5~effective radii () in 23 early-type galaxies from the SLUGGS survey, using their globular cluster (GC) kinematic data. Th…
