The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST. V. New WFPC2 Photometry
Tod R. Lauer, S. M. Faber, Karl Gebhardt +14
We analyze HST+WFPC2 images of 77 early-type galaxies. Brightness profiles are classed into "core" or "power-law" forms. Cores are typically rounder than power-law galaxies. Nearly…
Mapping stationary axisymmetric phase-space distribution functions by orbit libraries
J. Thomas, R. P. Saglia, R. Bender +4
This is the first of a series of papers dedicated to unveil the mass composition and dynamical structure of a sample of flattened early type galaxies in the Coma cluster. We descri…
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…
