Measurement of the Lick Indices in Early-Type Galaxies: Line-of-Sight Velocity Distribution Corrections for IC 1459 [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2009
In this paper we analyse the measurements of the absorption line-strength Lick indices in the early-type galaxy IC 1459. We use thelong-slit spectra of the elliptical galaxy IC 1459 from which its kinematicshad previously been extracted to calculate ...

The Hβ Index and the Ages of Old Stellar Systems [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1998
The Hβ and some metal line indices, such as Mg2, Fe52, Fe53 of single-age and single-metallicity populations are computed based on the method of evolutionary population synthesis, with careful consideration of the variation of the horizontal-branch ...

Core Formation by Binary Scouring and Gravitational Wave Recoil in Massive Elliptical Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Scouring by supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries is the most accepted mechanism for the formation of the cores seen in giant elliptical galaxies. However, an additional mechanism is required to explain the largest observed cores.

Where Have All the Little Red Dots Gone? Supermassive Black Hole Binary Dynamics and Its Impact on Galaxy Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent James Webb Space Telescope observations have revealed a peculiar class of galaxies at redshifts z  ≳ 6, characterized by extremely high central stellar densities and overmassive central supermassive black holes (SMBHs), “little red dots” (LRDs). A
