Galaxy Formation from the Primordial Black Holes

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) of size MBH = 106-10M⊙ is common in the Universe and it defines the center of the galaxy. A galaxy and the SMBH are generally thought to have co-evolved.

Dissipational versus Dissipationless Galaxy Formation and the Dark Matter Content of Galaxies

open access: yes, 2010
We examine two extreme models for the build-up of the stellar component of luminous elliptical galaxies. In one case, we assume the build-up of stars is dissipational, with centrally accreted gas radiating away its orbital and thermal energy; the dark ...

Evidence for the Evolution of Young Early-Type Galaxies in the GOODS/CDF-S Field

open access: yes, 2007
We have developed an efficient photometric technique for identifying young early-type galaxy candidates using a combination of photometric redshifts, spectral-type classification, and optical/near-infrared colors.

Causal Discovery in Astrophysics: Unraveling Supermassive Black Hole and Galaxy Coevolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Correlation does not imply causation, but patterns of statistical association between variables can be exploited to infer a causal structure (even with purely observational data) with the burgeoning field of causal discovery.

Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers I. Dependence on star formation history

open access: yes, 1998
We investigate the nature of stellar populations of major galaxy mergers between late-type spirals considerably abundant in interstellar medium by performing numerical simulations designed to solve both the dynamical and chemical evolution in a self ...

Abundance Patterns in the Interstellar Medium of the S0 Galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A) Revealed with Suzaku

open access: yes, 2010
The Suzaku X-ray satellite observed the nearby S0 galaxy NGC 1316, a merger remnant aged 3 Gyr. The total good exposure time was 48.7 ksec. The spectra were well represented by a two-temperature thermal model for the interstellar medium (ISM) plus a ...

JWST NIRCam Observations of the Globular Cluster Population of RXJ 2129.7+0005

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of the globular cluster (GC) population in the galaxy cluster RXJ 2129.7+0005 ( z = 0.234) based on JWST NIRCam imaging in three filters: F115W, F150W, and F200W.

Galaxy Morphological Classification with Zernike Moments and Machine Learning Approaches

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Classifying galaxies is an essential step for studying their structures and dynamics. Using GalaxyZoo2 (GZ2) fractions thresholds, we collect 545 and 11,735 samples in nongalaxy and galaxy classes, respectively.

Imaging of the protoelliptical NGC 1700 and its globular cluster system

open access: yes, 2000
An excellent candidate for a young elliptical, or `protoelliptical' galaxy is NGC 1700. Here we present new B, V and I band imaging using the Keck telescope and reanalyse existing V and I band images from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Energy Evolution in the Progenitor of Galaxy Shells: A Semi-analytical Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The stellar shells surrounding an elliptical galaxy, as remnants of a dwarf galaxy disrupted during merging, reveal the distribution of energy and angular momentum of the progenitor dwarf galaxy. We develop a semi-analytical model to describe the changes
