Dynamics of the globular cluster system associated with M87 (NGC 4486). II. Analysis
(Astrophysical Journal, 2001-10-01)
We present a dynamical analysis of the globular cluster system associated with M87 (= NGC 4486), the cD galaxy near the dynamical center of the Virgo cluster. The analysis utilizes a new spectroscopic and photometric ...
The evidence for jet-cloud interactions in a sample of high/intermediate-redshift radio galaxies
(Blackwell Publishing: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001-05)
We present detailed long-slit spectroscopic observations of a sample of four powerful
radio galaxies, with intermediate/high redshifts (0.47 < z < 0.81). The observations cover the rest-wavelength range 2600 °A- 6600 °A, ...
HST [Hubble Space Telescope] observations of NGC 6240
(University of Chicago Press: Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001-05)
WFPC2 images and STIS spectroscopic observations are presented of the double nucleus in the merger system NGC 6240. We find that: (a) the kinematics of the ionized gas is similar to that of the molecular gas, despite a ...
Black hole demographics from the M•[BH] − σ[sigma] relation
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001-01)
We analyze a sample of 32 galaxies for which a dynamical estimate of the mass of the hot stellar component, Mbulge, is available. For each of these galaxies, we calculate the mass of the central black hole, M•, using the ...
