SAURON: Observations of E/S0/SA galaxies

REV MEX AST ASTR 17 (2003) 199-199

Authors:

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

Abstract:

We present results from a new and unique integral-field spectrograph, SAURON. It has a large field of view and high throughput and is primarily built for the study of stellar & gaseous kinematics and stellar populations in galaxies. Its aim is to carry out a systematic survey of the velocity fields, velocity dispersions, and line-strength distributions of nearby ellipticals, lenticular galaxies and spiral bulges.

The mass of radio galaxies from low to high redshift

ESO ASTROPHY SYMP (2003) 148-153

Authors:

Abstract:

Using a new radio sample, 6C* designed to find radio galaxies at z > 4 along with the complete 3CRR and 6CE sample we extend the radio galaxy K - z relation to z similar to 4.5. The 6C* K - z data significantly improve delineation of the K - z relation for radio galaxies at high redshift (z > 2). In a spatially flat universe with a cosmological constant (Omega(M) = 0.3 and Omega(A) = 0.7), the most luminous radio sources appear to be associated with galaxies with a luminosity distribution with a high mean (approximate to 5L*), and a low dispersion (sigma similar to 0.5 mag) which formed their stars at epochs corresponding to z greater than or similar to 2.5).
