Abstract

Just after WWII Astronomy started to live its “Golden Age”, not differently to many other sciences and human activities, especially in the west side countries. The improved resolution of telescopes and the appearance of new efficient light detectors (e.g. CCDs in the middle eighty) greatly impacted the extragalactic researches. The first morphological analysis of galaxies were rapidly substituted by “anatomic” studies of their structural components, star and gas content, and in general by detailed investigations of their properties. As for the human anatomy, where the final goal was that of understanding the functionality of the organs that are essential for the life of the body, galaxies were dissected to discover their basic structural components and ultimately the mystery of their existence.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It must be pointed out that the possibility has also been raised that there might not be a causal connection between SBHs and galaxies, but that a tight linear relation between SBH and galaxy mass might arise naturally during the hierarchical merging of galaxies provided the galaxy mass function declines with increasing mass (Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke and Macciò 2011; Peng 2007).

  2. 2.

    I learned this obnoxious-sounding word from The Economist, a magazine that knows best how to put down an issue or a politician with supercilious superiority.

  3. 3.

    Although Plummer’s model found popularity for describing globular clusters, due to its simple form many theorists used it to approximate elliptical galaxies and the bulges of disc galaxies.

  4. 4.

    Nearly 70 years on, the misunderstanding that this has led to is epic. There is nothing physical about this arbitrary 50 % area.

  5. 5.

    The centres of massive spheroids have long been known to be depleted of stars (e.g., King and Minkowski 19661972; Young et al. 1978), which is likely due to the scouring action of super-massive black holes after a galaxy collision and merger with another galaxy also containing a super-massive black hole (Begelman et al. 1980).

  6. 6.

    Navarro et al. (2004) and Merritt et al. (20052006) showed that the 3-parameter Einasto model describes simulated dark matter halos better than the 3-parameter, generalised NFW model.

  7. 7.

    The one exception is King (19621966) model for globular clusters, although it does not provide an optimal description to the observed luminosity distributions in galaxies.

  8. 8.

    The Sérsic index varies monotonically with the central concentration of light (Trujillo et al. 2001).

  9. 9.

    As an aside that may be of interest to some readers, the error made in measuring R e is fortuitously counter-balanced by the associated error in μ e in such a way that the Fundamental Plane (Djorgovski and Davis 1987) remains thin for bright early-type galaxies (Capaccioli et al. 1992b), their Fig.6̇6; Trujillo et al. (2001), their section 4). The Fundamental Plane is the tangent sheet to a curved manifold on which dwarf and ordinary early-type galaxies reside, as noted in Graham (2005).

  10. 10.

    Using the Sérsic model, rather than the inner power-law of the Nuker model, gives finite central surface brightnesses at R = 0.

  11. 11.

    It should be noted that some of the evidence collated by Capaccioli et al. (1993), their Fig.3 does support a division, although not at R e = 3 kpc and \(M_{B} = -19.3\) mag, but rather a division at larger R e = 6–8 kpc and brighter M B  ≈ −20. 5 mag, between galaxies with and without partially depleted cores.

  12. 12.

    Recall that 1∕n is the exponent in the Sérsic model.
