On the Formation of Elliptical Galaxies
It is shown that the violent relaxation of dissipationless stellar systems leads to universal de Vaucouleurs profiles only outside 1.5 effective radii $R_e$. Inside $1.5 R_e$ the surface density profiles depend strongly on the initial conditions and are in general not in agreement with the de Vaucouleurs law.

The Stellar Kinematics of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
The kinematic properties of elliptical galaxies are summarized. New developments are discussed in four areas: (i) the Faber-Jackson relation and the role of second parameters (ii) the luminosity-rotation relation (iii) the figures of elliptical galaxies and (iv) the mass-to-light ratio as a function of radius.

Abundance Ratios in Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
AbstractThe aim of this study is to determine abundance ratios and star formation histories (SFH) of dwarf ellipticals in the nearby Virgo cluster. We perform a stellar population analysis of 39 dEs and study them using index-index and scaling relations. We find an unusual behaviour where [Na/Fe] is under-abundant w.r.t.

Statistical Survey of Cosmic Noise Absorption in Conjunction With Plasma Wave Measurements
Abstract Using a decade of observations from the Canadian Geospace Observatory Riometer Network (GO‐RIO), we selected an east‐west subset of stations near L∼7 $L\sim 7$ to classify cosmic noise absorption (CNA) (a proxy for enhanced D‐region ionization) into two morphologies, simultaneous and drifting, based on the relative timing of signals across the

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]
Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

AGN Feedback in Elliptical Galaxies: Numerical Simulations
The importance of feedback (radiative and mechanical) from massive black holes at the centers of elliptical galaxies is not in doubt, given the well established relation among black hole mass and galaxy optical luminosity.

STRUCTURE AND FORMATION OF ELLIPTICAL AND SPHEROIDAL GALAXIES [PDF]
New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is added to published data to derive composite profiles over large dynamic ranges. Sersic functions fit them remarkably well. Effective brightnesses and radii are derived via Sersic fits and by integrating the profiles nonparametrically. We strongly confirm two dichotomies: (1)

Abundance ratios in dwarf elliptical galaxies [PDF]
We determine abundance ratios of 37 dwarf ellipticals (dEs) in the nearby Virgo cluster. This sample is representative of the early-type population of galaxies in the absolute magnitude range -19.0 < Mr < -16.0. We analyze their absorption line-strength indices by means of index-index diagrams and scaling relations and use the stellar population ...

Dwarf elliptical galaxies: United and divided
Although of humble appearance and often overlooked because of their modest physical sizes and low star densities, dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies revealed themselves as the most common type of galaxies to exist in the Universe today.
