The Stellar Kinematics of Extragalactic Bulges

  • Chapter
Galactic Bulges

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 418))

Abstract

Galactic bulges are complex systems. Once thought to be small-scale versions of elliptical galaxies, advances in astronomical instrumentation (spectroscopy in particular) has revealed a wealth of photometric and kinematic substructure in otherwise simple-looking components. This review provides an overview of how our perspective on galactic bulges has changed over the years. While it is mainly focused on aspects related to the dynamical state of their stars, there will be natural connections to other properties (e.g. morphology, stellar populations) discussed in other reviews in this volume.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Editorial comment: notice that in this review only the vertically thick components are considered as bulges. That definition excludes the “discy pseudobulges” which are defined as structures in the plane of the galactic disc.

  2. 2.

    It is important to remember that properties observed in galaxies are result of integrating along the line of sight. This averaging depends greatly on the number of components as well as the type of stars contributing most to the light in that direction.

  3. 3.

    Note that in this work the definition of a bulge differs from the one used in this review. While Fabricius et al. (2012) define bulges as structures with flux above the disc surface brightness profile, here they are also required to extend vertically above the disc.
