The Rotation of Bulges

The Rotation of Bulges

来源:Arxiv_logoArxiv
英文摘要

I briefly review early and recent progress concerning the dynamical properties of bulges. I also show results from a study on the kinematics of bulges and disks in edge-on galaxies, where the bulge rotation curve is obtained with little contamination from the disk. I show that a proper structural analysis is crucial to understand such measurements. The results suggest that exponential bulges have a higher degree of rotational support than bulges with higher Sersic indexes, giving support to the concept that photometric bulges include different categories of stellar systems.
