Dynamical Mass Determination for Elliptical Galaxies

Gerhard, Ortwin · Jeske, Gunther · Saglia, R. P. · Bender, Ralf

Original · EN

The mass and anisotropy of an elliptical galaxy can be simultaneously determined from velocity dispersion and line profile shape measurements. We describe the principles, techniques, and limitations of this approach, and the results obtained sofar. We briefly discuss how best to combine these stellar-dynamical results with X-ray measurements and gravitational lensing analyses.
