Measuring Stellar Velocity Dispersions in Active Galaxies
We present stellar velocity dispersion (σ∗) measurements for a significant sample of 40 broad-line (Type 1) active galaxies for use in testing the well-known relation between black hole mass and stellar velocity dispersion. The objects are selected to contain Ca II triplet, Mg Ib triplet, and Ca H+K stellar absorption features in their optical spectra so that we may use them to perform extensiv...
متن کاملModels for anisotropic spherical stellar systems with a central point mass and Keplerian - fall - off velocity dispersions
We add to the lore of spherical, stellar-system models a two-parameter family with an anisotropic velocity dispersion, and a central point mass (" black hole "). The ratio of the tangential to radial dispersions is constant–and constitutes the first parameter–while each decreases with radius as r −1/2. The second parameter is the ratio of the central point mass to the total mass. The Jeans equa...

We investigate the collapse of nonrotating gas sp~eres with a polytropic.equ~tion of state.: n = 3, corresponding toy = 4/3. Such polytropes provide~ re~sonable approximatiOn t<? collapsmg stellar cores during the early phase before nuclear density IS reached.

متن کاملStability of rotating spherical stellar systems
We study the stability of rotating collisionless self-gravitating spherical systems by using high resolution N-body experiments on a Connection Machine CM-5. We added rotation to Ossipkov-Merritt (hereafter OM) anisotropic spherical systems by using two methods. The first method conserves the anisotropy of the distribution function defined in the OM algorithm. The second method distorts the sys...
متن کاملCusped Spherical Stellar Systems with Anisotropic Velocities
Spherical models with constant velocity anisotropy β have distribution functions depending on binding energy E and angular momentum L of the form f (E, L) = L−2β fE(E). An inversion for the unknown function fE (E) is straightforward to derive and reduces to Eddington’s famous algorithm for isotropic models (β = 0). Importantly, if the anisotropy parameter of the model is a half-integer constant...
