Tales within Tales and Cutoffs within Cutoffs: What Sets the Mass Scale for Galaxies? [PDF]
, 2001 Please answer ``yes'' or ``no'': 1. Does the mass function for clusters of galaxies cut off exponentially? 2. Does the luminosity function for galaxies cut off exponentially? 3. Is the dependence of virial velocity on galaxy luminosity a power law?

Astrophysics on the GRAPE Family of Special Purpose Computers [PDF]
, 1998 The GRAPE-4, the world's fastest computer in 1995-1997, has produced some major scientific results, through a wide diversity of large-scale simulations in astrophysics.

Observed Properties of Dark Matter on Small Spatial Scales [PDF]
, 2007 The nature of dark matter is one of the outstanding questions of astrophysics. The internal motions of member stars reveal that the lowest luminosity galaxies in the Local Group are the most dark-matter dominated.

Spiral galaxies with large optical warps [PDF]
, 1999 As a result of our statistical study of 540 edge-on galaxies, we present here the images and preliminary statistical analysis of a sub-sample of 60 galaxies, that were selected to be S-type warped spirals.

Tracing the Mass-Assembly History of Galaxies with Deep Surveys
, 2007 We use the optical and near-infrared galaxy samples from the Munich Near-Infrared Cluster Survey (MUNICS), the FORS Deep Field (FDF) and GOODS-S to probe the stellar mass assembly history of field galaxies out to z ~ 5.

N-body simulations of galaxies and groups of galaxies with the Marseille GRAPE systems [PDF]
, 1998 I review the Marseille GRAPE systems and the N-body simulations done with them. I first describe briefly the available hardware and software, their possibilities and their limitations.

Compact jets as probes for sub-parsec scale regions in AGN
, 2007 Compact relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei offer an effective tool for investigating the physics of nuclear regions in galaxies. The emission properties, dynamics, and evolution of jets in AGN are closely connected to the characteristics of the ...

Stability of disk-like galaxies--Part I: Stability via reduction [PDF]
, 2006 We prove the existence and stability of flat steady states of the Vlasov-Poisson system, which in astrophysics are used as models of disk-like galaxies.
