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

Nuclear Activity and the Dynamics of Elliptical Galaxies
, 2004 This paper looks for any correlation between the internal dynamics of elliptical galaxies and the relatively mild nuclear activity found in many such systems.

, 2015 In this thesis, a sample of nearby, compact, elliptical galaxies with high central stellar velocity dispersions are studied. By means of high quality photometric and spectroscopic observations, we analyse their structural properties and construct state-of-the-art orbit-based dynamical models to constrain their total mass budgets, including the ...

The Open Journal of AstrophysicsAlignments of disc galaxies were thought to result from tidal torquing, where tidal field of the cosmic large-scale structure exert torquing moments onto dark matter haloes, determining their angular momentum and ultimately the orientation of galactic ...

Scaling Relations of Early-Type Galaxies in MOND
GalaxiesWe 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 ...

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter
Advances 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

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.

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 ...

The 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.

, 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
