Structural properties of dwarf ellipticals and the connection with (ordinary) elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 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 ...

A Photometric Study of Giant Ellipticals and Their Stellar Halos With VST
Galaxies, 2017 Observations of diffuse starlight in the outskirts of galaxies are thought to be a fundamental source of constraints on the cosmological context of galaxy assembly in the Λ CDM model.

SIMULATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE GASEOUS STRUCTURES WITH SPH
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 A computer programme based on the 3D SPH approach is described. Some numerical results are presented: the formation of gaseous ring around an SO galaxy due to the stripping of a gas-rich donor system.

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.

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

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.

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 ...

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.

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