Causal Discovery in Astrophysics: Unraveling Supermassive Black Hole and Galaxy Coevolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Correlation does not imply causation, but patterns of statistical association between variables can be exploited to infer a causal structure (even with purely observational data) with the burgeoning field of causal discovery.

Disks Controlling Chaos in a 3D Dynamical Model for Elliptical Galaxies

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
A 3D dynamical model with a quasi-homogeneous core and a disk component is used for the chaos control in the central parts of elliptical galaxy.

The Outer Halos of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent progress is summarized on the determination of the density distributions of stars and dark matter, stellar kinematics, and stellar population properties, in the extended, low surface brightness halo regions of elliptical galaxies. With integral field absorption spectroscopy and with planetary nebulae as tracers, velocity dispersion and rotation ...

Dwarf elliptical galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1983
We propose that dwarf elliptical galaxies are the bound remnants of more massive stellar systems, such as a parent galaxy which has lost more than half its mass in gas ejection during a burst of star formation, or an unbound tidal debris produced during the interaction of two giant galaxies.

Scaling Relations of Early-Type Galaxies in MOND

open access: yesGalaxies
We investigate the shape and morphology of early-type galaxies (ETGs) within the framework of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Building on our previous studies, which demonstrated that the monolithic collapse of primordial gas clouds in MOND produces ...

Relativistic jets in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. New discoveries and open questions

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Before the launch of the Fermi satellite only two classes of AGNs were known to produce relativistic jets and thus emit up to the γ-ray energy range: blazars and radio galaxies, both hosted in giant elliptical galaxies.

The Baryonic Halos of Isolated Elliptical Galaxies

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
Without the interference of a number of events, galaxies may suffer in crowded environments (e.g., stripping, harassment, strangulation); isolated elliptical galaxies provide a control sample for the study of galaxy formation.

HI in elliptical galaxies

open access: yes, 2002
Neutral hydrogen is an important component of the interstellar medium in elliptical galaxies as well as a potentially valuable mass tracer. Until recently, HI surveys of early-type galaxies have been sparse and inhomogeneous but this has changed with the advent of the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS; Barnes et al. 2001). We discuss HIPASS observations

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2014
Several independent astronomical observations in different wavelength bands reveal the existence of much larger quantities of matter than what we would deduce from assuming a solar mass to light ratio. They are very high velocities of individual galaxies
