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.

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.

Hot interstellar matter in elliptical galaxies [PDF]
, 2009 Based on a number of new discoveries resulting from 10 years of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations and corresponding theoretical works, this is the first book to address significant progress in the research of the Hot Interstellar Matter in Elliptical ...

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.

The ‘Photometric Plane’ of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 The Sersic r^(1/n) index n of an elliptical galaxy (or bulge) has recently been shown to correlate strongly (r=0.8) with a galaxy's central velocity dispersion. This index could therefore prove extremely useful and cost-effective (in terms of both telescope time and data reduction) for many fields of extragalactic research.

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.

Fundamental Plane of Elliptical Galaxies in f(R) Gravity: The Role of Luminosity
Atoms, 2018 The global properties of elliptical galaxies are connected through the so-called fundamental plane of ellipticals, which is an empirical relation between their parameters: effective radius, central velocity dispersion and mean surface brightness within ...
