The Accretion Luminosity of a Massive Black Hole in an Elliptical Galaxy
Most large elliptical galaxies should now host a massive black hole leftover from an earlier quasar phase. Such galaxies also have an extensive hot gaseous halo. Here we consider why the nuclei of elliptical galaxies are not luminous sources due to the accretion of the hot gas by the central black hole, yet have weak radio sources. In particular we suggest that accretion from the hot medium has...
متن کاملAxisymmetric, 3-integral Models of Galaxies: a Massive Black Hole in Ngc 3379
We fit axisymmetric 3-integral dynamical models to NGC 3379 using the line-of-sight velocity distribution obtained from HST/FOS spectra of the galaxy center and ground-based long-slit spectroscopy along four position angles, with the light distribution constrained by WFPC2 and ground-based images. We have fitted models with inclinations from 29 (intrinsic galaxy type E5) to 90 (intrinsic E1) an...
متن کاملHow Massive Are Massive Compact Galaxies?
Using a sample of nine massive compact galaxies at z ∼ 2.3 with rest-frame optical spectroscopy and comprehensive U → 8μm photometry we investigate how assumptions in SED modeling change the stellar mass estimates of these galaxies, and how this affects our interpretation of their size evolution. The SEDs are fit to τ -models with a range of metallicities, dust laws, as well as different stella...
متن کاملMassive Elliptical Galaxies : from Cores to Haloes
In the context of recent observational results that show massive ellipticals were in place at high redshifts, we reassess the status of monolithic collapse in a ΛCDM universe. Using a sample of over 2000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, by comparing the dynamical mass and stellar mass (estimated from colours) we find that ellipticals have 'cores' which are baryon-dominated within the...
متن کاملProperties of Early-type, Dry Galaxy Mergers and the Origin of Massive Elliptical Galaxies
The luminosity dependence of kinematical and isophotal properties of elliptical galaxies is investigated using numerical simulations of galaxy merging, combined with semi-analytical models of hierarchical structure formation. Mergers of spiral galaxies as the only formation mechanism for elliptical galaxies can neither reproduce the kinematical and photometric properties of very massive ellipti...
