Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …

Supermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 85 galaxies by dynamical modeling of
spatially resolved kinematics. The Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized BH research by …

We study the properties of black holes and their host galaxies across cosmic time in the
Illustris simulation. Illustris is a large-scale cosmological hydrodynamical simulation which …

New kinematic data and modeling efforts in the past few years have substantially expanded
and revised dynamical measurements of black hole masses (M•) at the centers of nearby …

In the companion Paper XV of this series, we derive accurate total mass-to-light ratios within
a sphere of radius centred on the galaxy, as well as stellar (M/L) stars (with the dark matter …

The presence of extremely compact galaxies at z∼ 2 and their subsequent growth in
physical size has been the cause of much puzzlement. We revisit the question using deep …

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 …

New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is combined with
published data to derive composite profiles of brightness, ellipticity, position angle, isophote …

We present a detailed two-dimensional stellar dynamical analysis of a sample of 44
cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of individual central galaxies with stellar masses …

Two-dimensional stellar kinematics of 48 representative elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0)
galaxies obtained with the SAURON integral-field spectrograph reveal that early-type …
