Revisiting the bulge-halo conspiracy II: Towards explaining its puzzling dependence on redshift
Francesco Shankar, Alessandro Sonnenfeld, Philip Grylls +8
We carry out a systematic investigation of the total mass density profile of massive (Mstar~3e11 Msun) early-type galaxies and its dependence on redshift, specifically in the range…
Stellar mass functions and implications for a variable IMF
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. -L. Fischer +6
Spatially resolved kinematics of nearby galaxies has shown that the ratio of dynamical- to stellar population-based estimates of the mass of a galaxy () correlat…
Comparing PyMorph and SDSS photometry. II. The differences are more than semantics and are not dominated by intracluster light
M. Bernardi, J. -L. Fischer, R. K. Sheth +4
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey pipeline photometry underestimates the brightnesses of the most luminous galaxies. This is mainly because (i) the SDSS overestimates the sky background…
Selection bias in dynamically-measured supermassive black hole samples: Scaling relations and correlations between residuals in semi-analytic galaxy formation models
Enrico Barausse, Francesco Shankar, Mariangela Bernardi +2
Recent work has confirmed that the masses of supermassive black holes, estimated from scaling relations with global properties such as the stellar masses of their host galaxies, ma…
Selection bias in dynamically-measured super-massive black hole samples: dynamical masses and dependence on Sérsic index
Francesco Shankar, Mariangela Bernardi, Ravi K. Sheth
We extend the comparison between the set of local galaxies having dynamically measured black holes with galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We first show that the most…
