The Intrinsic Ellipticity of Spiral Disks
We have measured the distribution of intrinsic ellipticities for a sample of 28 relatively face–on spiral disks. We combine Hα velocity fields and R and I-band images to determine differences between kinematic and photometric inclination and position angles, from which we estimate intrinsic ellipticities of galaxy disks. Our findings suggest disks have a lognormal distribution of ellipticities ...
متن کاملIntrinsic/extrinsic Density-ellipticity Correlations and Galaxy-galaxy Lensing
We compute both extrinsic (lensing) and intrinsic contributions to the (galaxy-)density-ellipticity correlation function, the latter done using current analytic theories of tidal alignment. The gravitational lensing contribution has two components: one is analogous to galaxy-galaxy lensing and the other arises from magnification bias – that gravitational lensing induces a modulation of the gala...
متن کاملQuantifying the Cosmic Web I: The large-scale halo ellipticity-ellipticity and ellipticity-direction correlations
The formation of dark matter halos tends to occur anisotropically along the filaments of the Cosmic Web, which induces both ellipticity-ellipticity (EE) correlations between the shapes of halos, as well as ellipticity-direction (ED) cross-correlations between halo shapes and the directions to neighboring halos. We analyze the halo catalogue and the semi-analytic galaxy catalogue of the recent M...
متن کاملThe M–σ and M–l Relations in Galactic Bulges, and Determinations of Their Intrinsic Scatter
We derive improved versions of the relations between supermassive black hole mass (MBH) and host-galaxy bulge velocity dispersion (σ) and luminosity (L) (the M–σ and M–L relations), based on 49 MBH measurements and 19 upper limits. Particular attention is paid to recovery of the intrinsic scatter (ε0) in both relations. We find log(MBH/M ) = α + β log(σ/200 km s−1) with (α, β, ε0) = (8.12± 0.08...
متن کاملSelf Calibration of Gravitational Shear-galaxy Intrinsic Ellipticity Correlation in Weak Lensing Surveys
The existence of non-random galaxy intrinsic ellipticity severely challenges precision cosmic shear measurement. We propose to self calibrate the induced gravitational shear-galaxy intrinsic ellipticity contamination (the GI correlation, Hirata & Seljak 2004) using extra information encoded in the same weak lensing survey. Besides the galaxy ellipticity-galaxy ellipticity correlation, the same ...
