Description
Recently a tight correlation between the bulge velocity dispersion and the galaxy circular velocity has been found for a sample of spiral galaxies (Ferrarese 2002). Since bulge velocity dispersion and circular velocity are related to the masses of the central black hole and dark matter halo respectively, the correlation between velocity dispersion and circular velocity is equivalent to one between the mass of super-massive black hole and dark halo. We explore this correlation by using velocity dispersions and circular velocities derived from stellar and ionized-gas kinematics we measured for a sample of 17 intermediate-to-late type spiral galaxies. We plan now to apply the same analysis to a sample of low surface brightness galaxies.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
