Estimating turbulent velocities in the elliptical galaxies NGC 5044 and NGC 5813 [PDF]
Context. The interstellar and intra-cluster medium (ICM) in giant elliptical galaxies and clusters of galaxies is often assumed to be in hydrostatic equilibrium.

Elliptical Galaxies with Shells [PDF]
A considerable number of otherwise normal elliptical galaxies show sharp edged, low surface brightness concentric features, often at very large radii from the parent galaxy. Features like this are visible in some of the photographs presented by Arp (1966).

Most stellar-dynamical determinations of the masses of nearby supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been obtained with the orbit superposition technique under the assumption of axisymmetry.

Dwarf elliptical galaxies as ancient tidal dwarf galaxies [PDF]
The formation of tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) is triggered by the encounters of already existing galaxies. Their existence is predicted from numerical calculations of encountering galaxies and is also well documented with observations.

Fundamental Plane of Elliptical Galaxies in f(R) Gravity: The Role of Luminosity
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 ...

THE STELLAR HALOS OF MASSIVE ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES [PDF]
We use the Mitchell Spectrograph (formerly VIRUS-P) on the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith Telescope to search for the chemical signatures of massive elliptical galaxy assembly.

TESTING YUKAWA-LIKE POTENTIALS FROM f(R)-GRAVITY IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES [PDF]
We present the first analysis of extended stellar kinematics of elliptical galaxies where a Yukawa-like correction to the Newtonian gravitational potential derived from f(R)-gravity is considered as an alternative to dark matter.
