Structure and kinematics of early-type galaxies from integral field spectroscopy

M Cappellari - Annual review of astronomy and astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …

Strong lensing by galaxies

T Treu - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Strong lensing is a powerful tool to address three major astrophysical issues: understanding
the spatial distribution of mass at kiloparsec and subkiloparsec scale, where baryons and …

The demography of massive dark objects in galaxycenters

J Magorrian, S Tremaine, D Richstone… - The Astronomical …, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct dynamical models for a sample of 36 nearby galaxies with Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) photometry and ground-based kinematics. The models assume that each …

The SAURON project—IV. The mass-to-light ratio, the virial mass estimator and the Fundamental Plane of elliptical and lenticular galaxies

M Cappellari, R Bacon, M Bureau… - Monthly Notices of …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the well-known correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio (M/L)
and other global observables of elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies. We construct two …

The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. X. Stellar, dynamical, and total mass correlations of massive early-type galaxies

MW Auger, T Treu, AS Bolton, R Gavazzi… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We use stellar masses, surface photometry, strong-lensing masses, and stellar velocity
dispersions (σ e/2) to investigate empirical correlations for the definitive sample of 73 early …

A concise reference to (projected) sérsic R1/n quantities, including concentration, profile slopes, petrosian indices, and kron magnitudes

AW Graham, SP Driver - Publications of the Astronomical Society of …, 2005 - cambridge.org
Given the growing use of Sérsic's (1963, 1968) R1/n model for describing the stellar
distributions in galaxies, and the lack of any single reference that provides the various …

The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. I. A large spectroscopically selected sample of massive early-type lens galaxies

AS Bolton, S Burles, LVE Koopmans… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) Survey is an efficient Hubble Space Telescope
(HST) Snapshot imaging survey for new galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses. The …

Stellar population diagnostics of elliptical galaxy formation

A Renzini - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Major progress has been achieved in recent years in map** the properties of passively-
evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift∼ 2. Here …

[HTML][HTML] Stellar systems following the R exp 1/m luminosity law
