Massive Elliptical Galaxies: BH Scouring or a Bottom-Heavy IMF?
We present indirect constraints on the stellar initial-mass-function (IMF) in nine massive elliptical galaxies with σ ≈ 300 km/s, via a comparison of dynamical and stellarpopulation based stellar masses. We use adaptive-optics assisted, high resolution kinematical data from the SINFONI Search for Supermassive Black Holes that allow us to constrain the dynamical stellar mass-to-light ratio in th...
متن کاملEvolution of dwarf-elliptical galaxies
Here we present as an extension to already published models of massive spherical galaxies one-dimensional chemodynamical models of dwarf elliptical galaxies in the mass range between 10 and 10 M and initial density fluctuation of 1σ and 3σ. Because of their vanishing angular momentum the models are restricted to spherical symmetry. Due to this limitation the dynamics of the different components...
متن کاملFormation and Cosmic Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies
A review of the present observational and theoretical status of elliptical galaxies is presented with the aim to clarify whether the monolithic or the hierarchical, is a more viable scenario for the origin of these structures. We describe the dynamical structure of elliptical galaxies using photometric and spectroscopic data, in particular 3D observations from integral field spectrographs, with...
متن کاملThe Effects of a Variable Imf on the Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy
In this work we explore the effects of adopting an initial mass function (IMF) variable in time on the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. In order to do that we adopt a chemical evolution model which assumes two main infall episodes for the formation of the Galaxy. We study the effects on such a model of different IMFs. First, we use a theoretical one based on the statistical description of the ...
متن کاملDynamical Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies with Central Singularities
We study the effect of a massive central singularity on the structure of a triaxial galaxy using N-body simulations. Starting from a single initial model, we grow black holes with various final masses Mh and at various rates, ranging from impulsive to adiabatic. In all cases, the galaxy achieves a final shape that is nearly spherical at the center and close to axisymmetric throughout. However, ...
