Resolved nuclear kinematics link the formation and growth of nuclear star clusters with the evolution of their early- and late-type hosts
We present parsec-scale kinematics of 11 nearby galactic nuclei, derived from adaptive-optics assisted integral-field spectroscopy at (near-infrared) CO band-head wavelengths. We focus our analysis on the balance between ordered rotation and random motions, which can provide insights into the domina...
