Dynamical Masses of Elliptical Galaxies
Ortwin Gerhard
Abstract
Recent progress in the dynamical analysis of elliptical galaxy kinematics is reviewed. Results reported briefly include (i) the surprisingly uniform anisotropy structure of luminous ellipticals, (ii) their nearly flat (to 2Re) circular velocity curves, (iii) the Tully-Fisher and M/L - L relations and the connection to the Fundamental Plane, and (iv) the large halo mass densities implied by the dynamical models.
