Surface photometry of early-type galaxies in rich clusters [PDF]
, 1998 This thesis investigates the morphology of early-type galaxies in two rich clusters using 2D surface photometry. In particular, the amount of light in the 'disk' component is focussed upon, as the presence of a disk is the main morphological criterion in

Core Formation by Binary Scouring and Gravitational Wave Recoil in Massive Elliptical Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalScouring by supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries is the most accepted mechanism for the formation of the cores seen in giant elliptical galaxies. However, an additional mechanism is required to explain the largest observed cores.

THE ELLIPTICITIES OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS OF DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGICAL TYPE
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014 The distribution of galaxy ellipticities was analyzed for 207 rich PF galaxy clusters found in the Munster Red Sky Survey Galaxy Catalogue. Clusters with BM types from a comparison with the ACO catalogue were also classified on the new scheme.

A simple model of spiral galaxies from geometric optics
AIP AdvancesWe propose a simple model of spiral galaxies based on the interference of gravitational waves. The interference is deduced from geometric optics analysis of the refractive index profiles that mimic the behavior of gravitational potentials −1/r and r2. We

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.

The Outer Halos of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 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 ...

, 1999 Gradients of absorption line indices are studied and mean stellar metallicities are estimated for 46 elliptical galaxies. The mean stellar metallicities range from [[Fe/H]] similar or equal to -0.8 to +0.2 and ellipticals with smaller central velocity ...

Causal Discovery in Astrophysics: Unraveling Supermassive Black Hole and Galaxy Coevolution
The Astrophysical JournalCorrelation 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.

The Baryonic Halos of Isolated Elliptical Galaxies
Galaxies, 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.
