Molecular gas in the centre of nearby galaxies from VLT/SINFONI integral field spectroscopy - II. Kinematics
X. Mazzalay, W. Maciejewski, P. Erwin +6
We present an analysis of the H2 emission-line gas kinematics in the inner < 4 arcsec radius of six nearby spiral galaxies, based on AO-assisted integral-field observations obtaine…
Depleted Galaxy Cores and Dynamical Black Hole Masses
S. P. Rusli, P. Erwin, R. P. Saglia +4
Shallow cores in bright, massive galaxies are commonly thought to be the result of scouring of stars by mergers of binary supermassive black holes. Past investigations have suggest…
The Dynamical Fingerprint of Core Scouring in Massive Elliptical Galaxies
J. Thomas, R. P. Saglia, R. Bender +2
The most massive elliptical galaxies have low-density centers or cores that differ dramatically from the high-density centers of less massive ellipticals and bulges of disk galaxie…
The Influence of Dark Matter Halos on Dynamical Estimates of Black Hole Mass: Ten New Measurements for High-sigma Early-Type Galaxies
S. P. Rusli, J. Thomas, R. P. Saglia +7
Adaptive-Optics assisted SINFONI observations of the central regions of ten early-type galaxies are presented. Based primarily on the SINFONI kinematics, ten black hole masses occu…
Galaxy redshift surveys with sparse sampling
Chi-Ting Chiang, Philipp Wullstein, Donghui Jeong +16
Survey observations of the three-dimensional locations of galaxies are a powerful approach to measure the distribution of matter in the universe, which can be used to learn about t…
The VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA): Survey Design, Data Processing, and Spectral Analysis Methods
Guillermo A. Blanc, Tim Weinzirl, Mimi Song +14
We present the survey design, data reduction, and spectral fitting pipeline for the VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA). VENGA is an integral field spectroscopic survey,…
