Observations of Lenticular Galaxies at the 6-m Telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory [PDF]
GROUND-BASED ASTRONOMY IN RUSSIA. 21ST CENTURY. Proceedings of the All-Russian Conference, 2020 This is a historical review covering the last 30 years of the observational study of lenticular galaxies at the 6m telescope BTA of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The development of spectroscopic techniques at the BTA has allowed to get comprehensive information about this class of stellar systems, starting ...

Astrophysical tests of modified gravity: the morphology and kinematics of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2013 This paper is the third in a series on tests of gravity using observations of stars and nearby dwarf galaxies. We carry out four distinct tests using published data on the kinematics and morphology of dwarf galaxies, motivated by the theoretical work of Hui et al. (2009) and Jain and Vanderplas (2011). In a wide class of gravity theories a scalar field

Galaxy clusters as astrophysical laboratories and probes of cosmology [PDF]
, 2014 Galaxy clusters are the most recent of cosmological structures to have formed by the present time in the currently favoured hierarchical scenario of structure formation and are widely regarded as powerful probes of cosmology and galaxy formation physics alike.

Cross-correlation of the astrophysical gravitational-wave background with galaxy clustering
Physical Review D, 2020 We investigate the correlation between the distribution of galaxies and the predicted gravitational-wave background of astrophysical origin. We show that the large angular scale anisotropies of this background are dominated by nearby non-linear structure, which depends on the notoriously hard to model galaxy power spectrum at small scales. In contrast,

Physical modelling of galaxy clusters and Bayesian inference in astrophysics
arXiv: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics, 2019 I compare the mass values obtained with data taken from the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI) radio interferometer system and from the Planck satellite. The former of these uses a Bayesian analysis pipeline that parameterises a cluster in terms of its physical quantities, and models the dark matter \& baryonic components of a cluster using Navarro-

Galclaim: A tool to identify host galaxy of astrophysical transient sources
SoftwareX, 2023 The Galclaim software is designed to identify association between astrophysical transient sources and host galaxy by computing the probability of chance alignment. It is distributed as an open source Python software. It is already used to identify, confirm or reject host galaxy candidates of GRBs and to validate or invalidate transient candidates in ...

Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection : from Astrophysics to Cosmology
, 2009 Galaxy-galaxy (g-g) lensing represents an ideal technique to constrain the dark matter distribution on galaxy scales. The required accuracy in the signal can be achieved only by stacking many foreground galaxies and averaging the ellipticity of the resulting background galaxies.
