Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

SAURON observations of disks in spheroids

ASTR SOC P 282 (2002) 208-215

Authors:

M Bureau, R Bacon, E Emsellem, M Cappellari, EK Verolme, PT de Zeeuw, Y Copin, RL Davies, R McDermid, H Kuntschner, BW Miller, RF Peletier

Abstract:

The panoramic integral-field spectrograph SAURON is currently being used to map the stellar kinematics, gaseous kinematics, and stellar populations of a large number of early-type galaxies and bulges. Here, we describe SAURON observations of cold stellar disks embedded in spheroids (NGC 3384, NGC 4459, NGC 4526), we illustrate the kinematics and ionization state of large-scale gaseous disks (NGC 4278, NGC 7742), and we show preliminary comparisons of SAURON data with barred galaxy N-body simulations (NGC 3623).

SAURON: An innovative look at early-type galaxies

ASTR SOC P 273 (2002) 53-62

Authors:

M Bureau, M Cappellari, Y Copin, EK Verolme, PT de Zeeuw, R Bacon, E Emsellem, RL Davies, H Kuntschner, R McDermid, BW Miller, RF Peletier

Abstract:

A summary of the SAURON project and its current status is presented. SAURON is a panoramic integral-field spectrograph designed to study the stellar kinematics, gaseous kinematics, and stellar populations of spheroids. Here, the sample of galaxies and its properties axe described. The instrument is detailed and its capabilities illustrated through observational examples. These includes results on the structure of central stellar disks, the kinematics and ionization state of gaseous disks, and the stellar populations of galaxies with decoupled cores.
