Core-Sérsic
Giant galaxies with MB ≤ -20.5 mag (core-Sérsic, cS)
Intermediate mass galaxies with MB ≥ -20.5 mag (Sérsic)
- depleted cores are signatures left by coalescing SMBH binaries (e.g., Begelman et al. 1980; Ebisuzaki et al. 1991; Merritt 2006)

Two families of Early-type galaxies: Core-Sérsic vs. Sérsic dichotomy
Giant galaxies (core-Sérsic) Intermediate mass galaxies (Sérsic)
- luminous (MB < -20.5 mag)- stellar light deficits created by decaying SMBH binary (e.g., Begelman et al. 1980)
- slow (or no) rotation - tend to show boxy isophotes- dynamics supported by anisotropyin velocity dispersion
- less luminous (MB > -20.5 mag) - light excess (starburst)
- fast rotators - have disky isophotes - isotropic and rotationally supported
Why are these two systems so different?

Evolution of SMBH Binaries
Post major (‘dry’) merger scenario
Phase I: Dynamical friction (binary separation decays)
Phase II: Three-body interaction (Ejects stars) Depleted mass ∝ mass of the binary (e.g., Ebisuzaki et al. 1991; Merritt 2006)
Phase III: Anisotropic gravitational radiation(Coalescence ensues, and SMBH recoils)

Mdef/MBH ≃ 0.5 –1 per major merger (N-body simulations by Merritt 2006, Phase II)

- core formation is a cumulative process
Mdef ~ (0.5 – 4) MBH

Ram pressure stripping (Gunn & Gott 1972)
- hot intra-cluster medium removes gas from moving galaxy
Harassment (Moore et al. 1996)
- frequent, close high-velocity encounters
- interaction with the cluster potential
Strangulation (Larson 1980)
- gas supply is cut off, cold gas exhausted through star formation
Formation mechanism(s) for S0s with depleted cores / Environment
- NGC 507, NGC 2300 and NGC 5813 reside in galaxy groups - NGC 6849 is an isolated galaxy - NGC 4382 is a member of the Virgo cluster, situated at the outskirt

Conclusions
We measure central stellar mass deficits (Mdef) in core-Sérsic galaxies which are 0.5 – 4 MBH. The Mdef – MBH correlation is a physical signature connecting SMBHs to their host galaxies.
The depleted cores/stellar mass deficits (0.5 – 2 MBH) in core-Sérsic lenticular galaxies suggest a two-step inside-out scenario for their assembly.
Today’s massive bulges may be local analogs to compact high redshift early-type galaxies.
