The Slope of the Black Hole Mass versus Velocity Dispersion Correlation
- S. Tremaine, K. Gebhardt, D. Richstone
- Physics, Geology
- 26 March 2002
Observations of nearby galaxies reveal a strong correlation between the mass of the central dark object MBH and the velocity dispersion σ of the host galaxy, of the form log(MBH/M☉) = α + β…
A Relationship between Nuclear Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Velocity Dispersion
- K. Gebhardt, R. Bender, S. Tremaine
- Physics
- 20 June 2000
We describe a correlation between the mass Mbh of a galaxy's central black hole and the luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersion σe within the half-light radius. The result is based on a…
THE M–σ AND M–L RELATIONS IN GALACTIC BULGES, AND DETERMINATIONS OF THEIR INTRINSIC SCATTER
- K. Gultekin, D. Richstone, Universit́e Libre de Bruxelles
- PhysicsAstrophysical Journal
- 27 March 2009
We derive improved versions of the relations between supermassive black hole mass (MBH) and host-galaxy bulge velocity dispersion (σ) and luminosity (L; the M–σ and M–L relations), based on 49 MBH…
The Demography of Massive Dark Objects in Galaxy Centers
- J. Magorrian, S. Tremaine, T. Lauer
- Physics
- 7 August 1997
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 galaxy is axisymmetric, with a…
3D-HST+CANDELS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE GALAXY SIZE–MASS DISTRIBUTION SINCE z = 3
- A. van der Wel, M. Franx, D. Kocevski
- Physics
- 10 April 2014
Spectroscopic+photometric redshifts, stellar mass estimates, and rest-frame colors from the 3D-HST survey are combined with structural parameter measurements from CANDELS imaging to determine the…
Star Formation in AEGIS Field Galaxies since z = 1.1: The Dominance of Gradually Declining Star Formation, and the Main Sequence of Star-forming Galaxies
We analyze star formation (SF) as a function of stellar mass (M*) and redshift z in the All-Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey. For 2905 field galaxies, complete to 1010(1010.8) M☉…
The Stellar Population Histories of Local Early-Type Galaxies. I. Population Parameters
- S. Trager, S. Faber, G. Worthey, J. González
- Physics
- 6 January 2000
This paper commences a series of investigations into the stellar populations of local elliptical galaxies as determined from their integrated spectra. The goal of the series is to determine the star…
The centers of early-type galaxies with HST. IV. Central parameter relations
- S. Faber, S. Tremaine, D. Richstone
- Physics
- 9 October 1996
We analyze Hubble Space Telescope surface-brightness profiles of 61 elliptical galaxies and spiral bulges (hot galaxies). Luminous hot galaxies have cuspy cores with steep outer power-law profiles…
The Stellar Population Histories of Early-Type Galaxies. II. Controlling Parameters of the Stellar Populations
- S. Trager, S. Faber, G. Worthey, J. González
- Physics
- 6 April 2000
This paper analyzes single stellar population (SSP)–equivalent parameters for 50 local elliptical galaxies as a function of their structural parameters. The galaxy sample is drawn from the…
Old stellar populations. 5: Absorption feature indices for the complete LICK/IDS sample of stars
- G. Worthey, S. Faber, J. González, D. Burstein
- Physics
- 1 October 1994
Twenty-one optical absorption features, 11 of which have been previously defined, are automatically measured in a sample of 460 stars. Following Gorgas et al., the indices are summarized in fitting…
