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.

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

Structure and Kinematics of Star-forming Elliptical Galaxies in SDSS-MaNGA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using “spatially” resolved spectroscopy, we investigated the characteristics and different modes of formation of stars in elliptical galaxies. We identified an unusual population of 59 star-forming elliptical (SF-E) galaxies in SDSS-MaNGA, our primary ...

Investigation of the Nuclear Cross-Sections for Proton Capture Reactionsin the Star Formation Process of the Galaxies

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Physics
Understanding the CNO cycle and the proton-proton (p-p) chain is essential for comprehending the development of main sequence stars in the initial stages of spiral and elliptical galaxy formation. This study investigates two nuclear reactions that occur
