Radial Kinematics of Isolated Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 2006 Ellipticals in very low density environments are extremely rare but hold important clues about galaxy formation and evolution. In this paper we continue our study of isolated elliptical galaxies, presenting results on the radial stellar kinematics for 13 isolated early-type galaxies.

Structural properties of dwarf elliptical galaxies and the connection with (ordinary) elliptical galaxies [PDF]
2005, IAU Colloquia 198, p.303-310, 2005 This article reviews the popular reasons for the belief that dwarf elliptical galaxies and (ordinary) elliptical galaxies are distinct and separate species. They include: light-profile shape (or similarly image concentration); the magnitude-central surface brightness diagram; the magnitude-effective surface brightness diagram (or similarly the ...

The Distribution Of Heavy Elements In Spiral And Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 This review recaps significant results as they apply to non-dwarf galaxies, including the Milky Way, spiral disks and bulges, and elliptical and lenticular galaxies. Conclusions that span the galaxy types treated here are as follows.

Dissecting the size evolution of elliptical galaxies since z∼ 1: puffing-up versus minor-merging scenarios [PDF]
, 2011 At a fixed stellar mass, the size of low-redshift early-type galaxies is found to be a factor of 2 larger than that of their counterparts at z∼ 1, a result with important implications for galaxy formation models.

A substantial population of low-mass stars in luminous elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Nature, 2010 The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the mass distribution of stars at the time of their formation and is of fundamental importance for many areas of astrophysics.

Alignment of galaxies relative to their local environment in SDSS-DR8
, 2016 We study the alignment of galaxies relative to their local environment in SDSS-DR8 and, using these data, we discuss evolution scenarios for different types of galaxies. We defined a vector field of the direction of anisotropy of the local environment of

CONFIRMATION OF ENHANCED DWARF-SENSITIVE ABSORPTION FEATURES IN THE SPECTRA OF MASSIVE ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR A NON-UNIVERSAL INITIAL MASS FUNCTION [PDF]
, 2011 We recently found that massive cluster elliptical galaxies have strong Na i λ8183, 8195 and FeH λ9916 Wing–Ford band absorption, indicating the presence of a very large population of stars with masses ≲ 0.3 M☉.
