A pilot survey of stellar tidal streams in nearby spiral galaxies

David Martinez-Delgado, R. Jay Gabany, Jorge Penarrubia +4

Within the hierarchical framework for galaxy formation, merging and tidal interactions are expected to shape large galaxies to this day. While major mergers are quite rare at prese…

The mass of the black hole in Centaurus A from SINFONI AO-assisted integral-field observations of stellar kinematics

Michele Cappellari, N. Neumayer, J. Reunanen +3

We present a determination of the mass of the supermassive black hole (BH) and the nuclear stellar orbital distribution of the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (NGC5128) using high-re…

Dynamical Evolution of AGN Host Galaxies - Gas In/Out-Flow Rates in 7 NUGA Galaxies

Sebastian Haan, Eva Schinnerer, Eric Emsellem +4

To examine the role of the host galaxy structure in fueling nuclear activity, we estimated gas flow rates from several kpc down to the inner few 10 pc for seven nearby spiral galax…

The Rise of Massive Red Galaxies: the color-magnitude and color-stellar mass diagrams for z < ~2 from the MUltiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC)

Edward N Taylor, Marijn Franx, Pieter G van Dokkum +8

We present the color-magnitude and color-stellar mass diagrams for galaxies with z_phot < ~2, based on a K < 22 (AB) catalog of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) from t…

Geometrically Derived Timescales for Star Formation in Spiral Galaxies

D. Tamburro, H. -W. Rix, F. Walter +4

We estimate a characteristic timescale for star formation in the spiral arms of disk galaxies, going from atomic hydrogen (HI) to dust-enshrouded massive stars. Drawing on high-res…
