Abstract:

We discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals. Using 2-dimensional maps of their stellar radial velocity, velocity dispersion, and absorption line strength, it is now much easier to understand the nature of nearby galactic bulges. We discuss a few highlights of this work, and point out some new ideas about the formation of galactic bulges. © 2008 Copyright International Astronomical Union 2008.

Supermassive black holes from OASIS and SAURON integral-field kinematics

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union 3:S245 (2007) 215-218

Authors:

Abstract:

Supermassive black holes are a key element in our understanding of how galaxies form. Most of the progress in this very active field of research is based on just ~30 determination of black hole masses, accumulated over the past decade. We illustrate how integral-field spectroscopy, and in particular our OASIS modeling effort can help improve the current situation. © 2008 Copyright International Astronomical Union 2008.
