Investigation of the Fundamental Plane Relationship For the Evolution of the Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies [PDF]
مجلة التربية والعلمThe Fundamental Plane relates the effective radius and surface brightness of an early-type galaxy to its velocity dispersion. It is important in understanding galaxy formation and evolution processes. The present work aims to investigate this relation as

Gravitational Lensing by Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2005 The probability that high-redshift quasars are gravitationally-lensed by intervening galaxies increases rapidly with the cosmological constant, ΩΛ0 (whilst being only weakly dependent on the density parameter, Ωm0), and the low number of lenses observed implies that ΩΛ0 ≲ 0.7 (e.g. Kochanek 1996).

Mass Dependence of Galaxy–Halo Alignment in LOWZ and CMASS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We measure the galaxy-ellipticity (GI) correlations for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 LOWZ and CMASS samples with the shape measurements from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys.

A Preferential Growth Channel for Supermassive Black Holes in Elliptical Galaxies at z ≲ 2
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The assembly of stellar and supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in elliptical galaxies since z ∼ 1 can help to diagnose the origins of locally observed correlations between SMBH mass and stellar mass.

Multiple minor mergers: formation of elliptical galaxies and constraints for the growth of spiral disks [PDF]
, 2007 Multiple, sequential mergers are unavoidable in the hierarchical build-up picture of galaxies, in particular for the minor mergers that are frequent and highly likely to have occured several times for most present-day galaxies.

Clustercentric Distance or Local Density? It Depends on Galaxy Morphology
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Determining which between projected local density and distance from the cluster center plays a major role in regulating morphological fractions in clusters is a longstanding debate.

Tracing Galaxy Evolution by Their Present-Day Luminosity Function
Open Astronomy, 2011 Galaxy luminosity functions are derived for different morphological types and various colors of galaxies, to trace the evolutionary effects which a priori should be different for void and supercluster galaxies.

Measurements of Far-UV Emission from Elliptical Galaxies at z=0.375 [PDF]
, 1998 The ``UV upturn'' is a sharp rise in spectra of elliptical galaxies shortward of rest-frame 2500 A. It is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nearby giant elliptical galaxies, and is thought to arise primarily from low-mass evolved stars on the extreme horizontal

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
