The MASSIVE Survey - V. Spatially-Resolved Stellar Angular Momentum, Velocity Dispersion, and Higher Moments of the 41 Most Massive Local Early-Type Galaxies
Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma, Jens Thomas +6
We present spatially-resolved two-dimensional stellar kinematics for the 41 most massive early-type galaxies (MK <~ -25.7 mag, stellar mass M* >~ 10^11.8 Msun) of the volume-limite…
A 17-billion-solar-mass black hole in a group galaxy with a diffuse core
Jens Thomas, Chung-Pei Ma, Nicholas J. McConnell +3
Quasars are associated with and powered by the accretion of material onto massive black holes; the detection of highly luminous quasars with redshifts greater than z = 6 suggests t…
The MASSIVE Survey II: Stellar Population Trends Out to Large Radius in Massive Early Type Galaxies
Jenny E. Greene, Ryan Janish, Chung-Pei Ma +4
We examine stellar population gradients in ~100 massive early type galaxies spanning 180 < sigma* < 370 km/s and M_K of -22.5 to -26.5 mag, observed as part of the MASSIVE survey (…
The MASSIVE Survey - I. A Volume-Limited Integral-Field Spectroscopic Study of the Most Massive Early-Type Galaxies within 108 Mpc
Chung-Pei Ma, Jenny E. Greene, Nicholas McConnell +4
Massive early-type galaxies represent the modern-day remnants of the earliest major star formation episodes in the history of the universe. These galaxies are central to our unders…
