A More Fundamental Plane
We present a comparative scaling analysis of 37 early-type gravitational-lens galaxies from the Sloan Lens ACS Survey, based on Hubble Space Telescope imaging and Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopy. By measuring masses via strong lensing and velocity dispersions from stellar kinematics, we construct both the fundamental plane (FP) scaling relation, and an analogous “mass plane” (MP) that rep...
متن کاملThe MOND Fundamental Plane
Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) has been shown to be able to fit spiral galaxy rotation curves as well as giving a theoretical foundation for empirically determined scaling relations, such as the Tully-Fisher law, without the need for a dark matter halo. As a complementary analysis, one should investigate whether MOND can also reproduce the dynamics of early-type galaxies (ETGs) without dark...
متن کاملA lensing view on the fundamental plane
For lensing galaxies, we introduce a formal velocity dispersion σlens , based on enclosed mass and the virial theorem. This is calculated from an ensemble of pixelated lens models, and found to be fairly model-independent. A sample of 18 well-known early-type lensing galaxies and two clusters is found to be consistent with σlens=σobs . Both the early-type lensing galaxies and the clusters can t...
متن کاملA Plane Sextic with Finite Fundamental Group
We analyze irreducible plane sextics whose fundamental group factors to D14. We produce explicit equations for all curves and show that, in the simplest case of the set of singularities 3A6, the group is D14 × Z3.
متن کاملThe Near { Infrared Fundamental Plane
We present the rst Fundamental Plane (FP) that has been constructed in the K{band using near{infrared imaging source data. The slope of this IR FP diiers systematically both from the optical relation and the virial expectation (assuming homology and constant M=L) in a way that cannot be explained by stellar populations eeects alone. We also show observations of the optical and IR FP at higher r...
