The Large Magellanic Cloud: Structure and Kinematics
Roeland P. van der Marel
I review our understanding of the structure and kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with a particular focus on recent results. This is an important topic, given the sta…
The Nuclei of Late-type Spiral Galaxies
T. Boeker, C. -J. Walcher, H. -W. Rix +8
We summarize some recent results from our observational campaign to study the central regions of spiral galaxies of late Hubble type (Scd - Sm). These disk-dominated, bulgeless gal…
What Drives the Central Velocity Dispersion in Nearby Early-Type Galaxies?
G. Verdoes Kleijn, R. van der Marel, J. Noel-Storr
The majority of nearby early-type galaxies contains detectable amounts of emission-line gas at their centers. The emission-line ratios and gas kinematics potentially form a valuabl…
Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in the Universe: A Review of Formation Theories and Observational Constraints
Roeland P. van der Marel
This paper reviews the subject of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with masses between those of "stellar-mass" and "super-massive" black holes. The existence of IMBHs is a rea…
STIS spectroscopy of gas disks in the nuclei of nearby, radio-loud, early-type galaxies
J. Noel-Storr, C. M. Carollo, S. A. Baum +4
We present initial results of our analysis of line emission produced in gas disks found at the centers of a sample of nearby, radio galaxies with radio jets. We obtained data using…
HST Observations of the Nuclear Regions of the Toomre Sequence of Merging Galaxies
S. Laine, R. P. van der Marel, T. Boeker +3
We present first results from an HST WFPC2 imaging and STIS spectroscopy program to investigate the structural and star forming properties in the nuclear regions of the Toomre Sequ…
