The MASSIVE survey - XI. What drives the molecular gas properties of early-type galaxies

Timothy A. Davis, Jenny E. Greene, Chung-Pei Ma +5

In this paper we study the molecular gas content of a representative sample of 67 of the most massive early-type galaxies in the local universe, drawn uniformly from the MASSIVE su…

The MASSIVE Survey - XII Connecting Stellar Populations of Early-Type Galaxies to Kinematics and Environment

Jenny E Greene, Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma +6

We measure the stellar populations as a function of radius for 90 early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the MASSIVE survey, a volume-limited integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) galaxy surve…

The MASSIVE Survey - X. Misalignment between Kinematic and Photometric Axes and Intrinsic Shapes of Massive Early-Type Galaxies

Irina Ene, Chung-Pei Ma, Melanie Veale +7

We use spatially resolved two-dimensional stellar velocity maps over a field of view to investigate the kinematic features of 90 early-type galaxies above stellar…

The MASSIVE Survey - VIII. Stellar Velocity Dispersion Profiles and Environmental Dependence of Early-Type Galaxies

Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma, Jenny E. Greene +4

We measure the radial profiles of the stellar velocity dispersions, , for 90 early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the MASSIVE survey, a volume-limited integral-field spectroscopic (…

The MASSIVE Survey - VII. The Relationship of Angular Momentum, Stellar Mass and Environment of Early-Type Galaxies

Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma, Jenny E. Greene +5

We analyse the environmental properties of 370 local early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the MASSIVE and ATLAS3D surveys, two complementary volume-limited integral-field spectroscopic (I…

The MASSIVE Survey VI: The Spatial Distribution and Kinematics of Warm Ionized Gas in the Most Massive Local Early-type Galaxies

Viraj Pandya, Jenny E. Greene, Chung-Pei Ma +8

We present the first systematic investigation of the existence, spatial distribution, and kinematics of warm ionized gas as traced by the [O II] 3727AA emission line in 74 of the m…

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…

The MASSIVE Survey IV.: The X-ray halos of the most massive early-type galaxies in the nearby Universe

Andy D. Goulding, Jenny E. Greene, Chung-Pei Ma +6

Studies of the physical properties of local elliptical galaxies (e.g., gas temperatures, halo masses, stellar kinematics) are shedding new light on galaxy formation. Here we presen…

Comparing Simple Quasar Demographics Models

Melanie Veale, Martin White, Charlie Conroy

This paper explores several simple model variations for the connections among quasars, galaxies, and dark matter halos for redshifts 1 < z < 6. A key component of these models is t…
