MegaMorph -- multi-wavelength measurement of galaxy structure: Sérsic profile fits to galaxies near and far

Marina Vika, Steven P. Bamford, Boris Haeussler +3

We demonstrate a new multi-wavelength technique for two-dimensional parametric modelling of galaxy surface-brightness profiles, which we have incorporated into the widely used soft…

The supermassive black hole mass - Sérsic index relations for bulges and elliptical galaxies

Giulia Savorgnan, Alister W. Graham, Alessandro Marconi +4

Scaling relations between supermassive black hole mass, M_BH, and host galaxy properties are a powerful instrument for studying their coevolution. A complete picture involving all…

MegaMorph - multi-wavelength measurement of galaxy structure: complete Sérsic profile information from modern surveys

Boris Häußler, Steven P. Bamford, Marina Vika +13

In this paper, we demonstrate a new method for fitting galaxy profiles which makes use of the full multi-wavelength data provided by modern large optical-near-infrared imaging surv…

The near-IR - L and - n relations

Marina Vika, Simon P. Driver, Ewan Cameron +2

We present near-IR surface photometry (2D-profiling) for a sample of 29 nearby galaxies for which super-massive black hole (SMBH) masses are constrained. The data is derived from t…

The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue: The -- derived supermassive black hole mass function

Marina Vika, Simon P. Driver, Alister W. Graham +1

Supermassive black hole mass estimates are derived for 1743 galaxies from the Millennium Galaxy Catalogue using the recently revised empirical relation between supermassive black h…
