The multi-gaussian expansion method: a tool for building realistic photometric and kinematical models of stellar systems II. Application to the central region of the Sombrero Galaxy (NGC 4594).

Abstract (from CDS):

We have applied the Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) technique for a photometric analysis of a new high resolution R' image of the central region of NGC 4594 (M 104). The deconvolved image reveals a nucleus offset by about 0.2 arcsec. from the bulge, and a bright unresolved nuclear disk. Oblate self-gravitating dynamical models have been derived, again using the MGE formalism described in Paper I, and compared to previously published mean velocity and velocity dispersion profiles. They imply a centrally condensed dark mass of about 1.0x109 M☉, and a tangentially anisotropic cold inner disk.
