The black hole mass distribution in early-type galaxies: cusps in HST photometry interpreted through adiabatic black hole growth . ... I show that the observed characteristics of these cusps are consistent with the hypothesis that: (i) all early-type galaxies have central BHs that grew adiabatically in homogeneous isothermal cores; and (ii) these `progenitor' cores followed scaling relations similar to those of the fundamental plane. The models studied here are the ones first proposed by Young. ...
CORES OR CUSPS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: LUMINOSITY OR ENVIRONMENT? ... The low lumi nosity disky galaxies have `hard' cores with a steep slope in the luminosity profile at small radii, whereas the luminous galaxies have `soft' cores with flat profiles at small radii (e.g. Faber et al. ... Coma Cluster cores In the gas/stellar continuum paradigm, one would expect that in the outer parts of a cluster it is more likely that the last merger was gaseous than in its central regions. ...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS 2001-003 ACS Grism Simulations using SLIM 1.0 N. Pirzkal, A. Pasquali, J. R. Walsh, R. N. Hook, W. Freudling, R. Albrecht, R.A.E. Fosbury April 4, 2001 ABSTRACT We introduce SLIM, a slitless spectroscopy simulator written in Python which can be used to simulate the ACS grism and prism modes. ... We have thus developed a simulator called SLIM which is able to disperse an input spectrum in a well-controlled manner. ... Can simulate multiple order grism observations. ...
