The kinematic centre of the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1985
La decouverte d'un anneau d'hydrogene moleculaire chaud, optiquement mince autour du noyau galactique permet d'etudier si le champ des vitesses dans la region centrale de la Galaxie est approximativement a symetrie ...

Galaxy masses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Galaxy masses play a fundamental role in our understanding of structure formation models. This review addresses the variety and reliability of mass estimators that pertain to stars, gas, and dark matter.

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: kinematics of dusty early-type galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017
Recently, large samples of visually classified early-type galaxies (ETGs) containing dust have been identified using space-based infrared observations with the Herschel Space Telescope. The presence of large quantities of dust in massive ETGs is peculiar as X-ray halos of these galaxies are expected to destroy dust in 10 Myr (or less). This has sparked

The host of GRB 060206 : kinematics of a distant galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Context. GRB afterglow spectra are sensitive probes of interstellar matter along the line-of-sight in their host galaxies, as well as in intervening galaxies. The rapid fading of GRBs makes it very difficult to obtain spectra of sufficient resolution and

Kinematical data on early-type galaxies. I. [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 1997
We present new kinematical data for a sample of 38 early-type galaxies. Rotation curves and velocity-dispersion profiles are determined for 32 objects, while the central velocity dispersions are given for the whole sample. This is our second paper in a series devoted to the presentation of kinematical data on elliptical and S0 galaxies, derived from ...

The Stellar Kinematics of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
The kinematic properties of elliptical galaxies are summarized. New developments are discussed in four areas: (i) the Faber-Jackson relation and the role of second parameters (ii) the luminosity-rotation relation (iii) the figures of elliptical galaxies and (iv) the mass-to-light ratio as a function of radius.

KINEMATICS OF M51-TYPE INTERACTING GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT We present a kinematic catalog for 21 M51-type galaxies. It consists of radial velocity distributions observed with long-slit spectroscopy along different position angles, for both the main and satellite components. We detect deviations from circular motion in most of the main galaxies of each pair, due to the gravitational ...
