Black Hole Mass Determinations From Orbit Superposition Models are Reliable
Douglas Richstone, Karl Gebhardt, Monique Aller +13
We show that orbit-superposition dynamical models (Schwarzschild's method) provide reliable estimates of nuclear black hole masses and errors when constructed from adequate orbit l…
The TESIS project: revealing massive early-type galaxies at z>1
P. Saracco, M. Longhetti, P. Severgnini +8
We present the preliminary results of an on-going near-IR low resolution spectroscopic follow-up of a complete sample of 30 bright (K'<18.5) EROs selected over 360 arcmin^2 from th…
The Epochs of Early-Type Galaxy Formation in Clusters and in the Field
Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston, Ralf Bender
We compute new population synthesis models of Lick absorption line indices with variable alpha/Fe ratios and use them to derive average ages, metallicities, and alpha/Fe element en…
The FORS Deep Field
J. Heidt, I. Appenzeller, R. Bender +20
Dedicating a major fraction of its guaranteed time, the FORS consortium established a FORS Deep Field which contains a known QSO at z = 3.36. It was imaged in UBgRIz with FORS at t…
The evolution of the color gradients of early-type cluster galaxies
R. P. Saglia, C. Maraston, L. Greggio +2
We investigate the origin of color gradients in cluster early-type galaxies to probe whether pure age or pure metallicity gradients can explain the observed data in local and dista…
Spectra of High Redshift Galaxies using a Cluster as a Gravitational Telescope
D. Mehlert, S. Seitz, R. P. Saglia +7
Using the Focal Reducer Spectrograph (FORS) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) during the FORS commissioning time in December 1998 we took long slit spectra of the gravitational arc…
