On The Parent Population of Radio Galaxies and the FRI - FRII Dichotomy [PDF]
We test the hypothesis that radio galaxies are a random subset of otherwise normal elliptical galaxies. Starting with the observed optical luminosity functions for elliptical galaxies, we show that the probability of an elliptical forming a radio source is a continuous, increasing function of optical luminosity, proportional to L squared.

The Stellar Kinematics of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
The kinematic properties of elliptical galaxies are summarized. New developments are discussed in four areas: (i) the Faber-Jackson relation and the role of second parameters (ii) the luminosity-rotation relation (iii) the figures of elliptical galaxies and (iv) the mass-to-light ratio as a function of radius.

The SAURON project - IV. The mass-to-light ratio, the virial mass estimator and the Fundamental Plane of elliptical and lenticular galaxies [PDF]
We investigate the well-known correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio M/L and other global observables of elliptical (E) and lenticul ar (S0) galaxies.

ArtProtect: Blockchain and NFC‐based anti‐counterfeit system for physical art
An anti‐counterfeiting system for physical art based on Ethereum blockchain and near‐field communication technology is proposed and implemented. The system leverages the use of Ethereum smart contracts and inter‐planetary file system to store artworks’ certificate of authenticity, and display them in a mobile app called ArtProtect.

Galactic Structures from Gravitational Radii
We demonstrate that the existence of a Noether symmetry in f ( R ) theories of gravity gives rise to an additional gravitational radius, besides the standard Schwarzschild one, determining the dynamics at galactic scales.

Dynamical Models of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Self-consistent dynamical models of elliptical galaxies have been constructed using a modification of the Prendergast-Tomer algorithm. They reproduce many of the observed properties of elliptical galaxies.

The Masses of Nuclear Black Holes in Luminous Elliptical Galaxies and Implications for the Space Density of the Most Massive Black Holes [PDF]
Black hole (BH) masses predicted from the M•-σ relationship conflict with predictions from the M•-L relationship for high-luminosity galaxies, such as brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). The M•-L relationship predicts that some BCGs may harbor BHs with M•

THE ELLIPTICITIES OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS OF DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGICAL TYPE
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 relation between accretion rate and jet power in X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Using Chandra X-ray observations of nine nearby, X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies with good optical velocity dispersion measurements, we show that a tight correlation exists between the Bondi accretion rates calculated from the observed gas temperature
