Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): survey diagnostics and core data release

Simon P. Driver, +55 more
TL;DR: The Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey has been operating since 2008 February on the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope using the AAOmega fibre-fed spectrograph facility to acquire spectra with a resolution of R ≈ 1300 for 120 862 Sloan Digital Sky Survey selected galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

A concise reference to (projected) Sersic R^{1/n} quantities, including Concentration, Profile Slopes, Petrosian indices, and Kron Magnitudes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the standard intensity profile, and its various guises such as the luminosity, surface-brightness, and aperture-magnitude profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Empirical Models for Dark Matter Halos. I. Nonparametric Construction of Density Profiles and Comparison with Parametric Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used nonparametric function estimation theory to extract the density profiles, and their derivatives, from a set of N-body halos generated from ΛCDM simulations of gravitational clustering, as well as isolated spherical collapses.
Journal ArticleDOI

An expanded Mbh–σ diagram, and a new calibration of active galactic nuclei masses

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an updated and improved Mbh-σ diagram containing 64 galaxies for which Mbh measurements (not just upper limits) are available, and showed that the optimal scaling factor f − which brings their virial products in line with the 64 directly measured black hole masses is 2.5.
Journal ArticleDOI

HST Photometry of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in Coma, and an Explanation for the Alleged Structural Dichotomy between Dwarf and Bright Elliptical Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed archival Hubble Space Telescope F606W images of a sample of 18 dE galaxy candidates in the Coma Cluster and confirmed that the light profiles of the underlying host galaxies display systematic departures from an exponential model that are correlated with the model independent host galaxy luminosity and are not due to biasing from the nuclear component.
