Dynamical Masses of Elliptical Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent progress in the dynamical analysis of elliptical galaxy kinematics is reviewed. Results reported briefly include (i) the surprisingly uniform anisotropy structure of luminous ellipticals, (ii) their nearly flat (to ∼ 2Re) circular velocity curves, (iii) the Tully-Fisher and M/L − L relations and the connection to the Fundamental Plane, and (iv) the large halo mass densities implied by the dynamical models.

The black hole mass–bulge mass correlation: bulges versus pseudo-bulges
We investigate the scaling relations between the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) mass (Mbh) and the host bulge mass in elliptical galaxies, classical bulges, and pseudo-bulges. We use two-dimensional image analysis software BUDDA to obtain the structural parameters of 57 galaxies with dynamical Mbh measurement, and determine the bulge K-band luminosities (Lbul,K), stellar masses (Ms), and dyna...
متن کاملGradients of Absorption Line Strengths in Elliptical Galaxies
We have re-studied line-strength gradients of 80 elliptical galaxies. Typical metallicity gradients of elliptical galaxies are ∆[Fe/H]/∆ log r ' −0.3 which is flatter than the gradients predicted by monolithic collapse simulations. The metallicity gradients do not correlate with any physical properties of galaxies, including central and mean metallicities, central velocity dispersions σ0, absol...
متن کاملMolecular Gas in Elliptical Galaxies: Distribution and Kinematics
I present interferometric images (∼7 resolution) of CO emission in five elliptical galaxies and nondetections in two others. These data double the number of elliptical galaxies whose CO emission has been fully mapped. The sample galaxies have 10 to 5×10 M⊙ of molecular gas distributed in mostly symmetric rotating disks with diameters of 2 to 12 kpc. Four out of the five molecular disks show rem...
متن کاملThe Mass Assembly History of Spheroidal Galaxies: Did Newly-formed Systems Arise via Mergers?
We examine the properties of a morphologically-selected sample of 0.4 < z < 1.0 spheroidal galaxies in the GOODS fields in order to ascertain whether their increase in abundance with time arises primarily frommergers. To address this question we determine scaling relations between the dynamical mass Mdyn, determined from stellar velocity dispersions, and the stellar mass M∗, determined from opt...
