Chaos and Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
CELESTIAL MECHANICS AND DYNAMICAL ASTRONOMY, 1995 Recent results on chaos in triaxial galaxy models are reviewed. Central mass concentrations like those observed in early-type galaxies -- either stellar cusps, or massive black holes -- render most of the box orbits in a triaxial potential stochastic ...

The formation history of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005 We take advantage of the largest high-resolution simulation of cosmic structure growth ever carried out - the Millennium Simulation of the concordancecold dark matter (CDM) cosmogony - to study how the star formation histories, ages and metallicities of ...

Compact Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 We summarize our present knowledge on low-mass high-surface brightness elliptical objects near massive galaxies that are often called M32-type or compact elliptical galaxies. The origin of the low mass of these objects is a controversial matter: is it intrinsic to their formation or produced, as classically believed, by tidal stripping from the massive

SUPERNOVA SWEEPING AND BLACK HOLE FEEDBACK IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES [PDF]
, 2015 Most of the massive elliptical galaxies in the universe stopped forming stars billions of years ago, even though plenty of hot gas remains available for star formation.

The orientation of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2010 We determine the orientations of the light distribution of individual elliptical galaxies by combining the profiles of photometric data from the literature with triaxial models. The orientation is given by a Bayesian probability distribution. The likelihood of obtaining the data from a model is a function of the parameters describing the intrinsic ...

Intrinsic alignments of disc and elliptical galaxies in the MassiveBlack-II and Illustris simulations [PDF]
, 2015 We study the shapes and intrinsic alignments of disks and elliptical galaxies in the MassiveBlack-II (MBII) and Illustris cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, with volumes of $(100h^{-1}Mpc)^{3}$ and $(75h^{-1}Mpc)^{3}$ respectively.

Phenomenological approach to the modelling of elliptical galaxies: The problem of the mass-to-light ratio [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2007 In this paper the problem of the phenomenological modelling of elliptical galaxies using various available observational data is presented. Recently, Tortora, Cardona and Piedipalumbo (2007) suggested a double power law expression for the global ...

Galaxies, 2022 The observed Tully-Fisher and Faber-Jackson laws between the baryonic mass of galaxies and the velocity of motion of stars at the edge of galaxies are explained within the framework of the model of accretion of galaxies around supermassive black holes ...
