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.

THE CARNEGIE-IRVINE GALAXY SURVEY. III. THE THREE-COMPONENT STRUCTURE OF NEARBY ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES

open access: yes, 2013
Motivated by recent developments in our understanding of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies, we explore the detailed photometric structure of a representative sample of 94 bright, nearby elliptical galaxies, using high-quality optical images

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.

Scaling Relations of Early-Type Galaxies in MOND

open access: yesGalaxies
We investigate the shape and morphology of early-type galaxies (ETGs) within the framework of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Building on our previous studies, which demonstrated that the monolithic collapse of primordial gas clouds in MOND produces ...

Bayesian marginal equivalence of elliptical regression models. [PDF]

open access: yes
The use of proper prior densities in regression models with multivariate non-Normal elliptical error distributions is examined when the scale matrix is known up to a precision factor T, treated as a nuisance parameter.

Simulating supernova feedback in galaxy disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this thesis I examine supernova feedback in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy disks. Understanding this process entails the numerical evaluation of cooling in radiative shocks, and we present a set of simulations using two widely used numerical ...

Structural response of concrete-filled elliptical steel hollow sections under eccentric compression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The purpose of this research is to examine the behaviour of elliptical concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns under a combination of axial force and bending moment. Most of the research carried out to date involving concrete-filled steel sections has

Modeling the Ages and Chemical Abundances of Elliptical Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Spectroscopic studies of elliptical galaxies show that their stellar population ages, mean metallicity, and α enhancement traced by [Mg/Fe] all increase with galaxy stellar mass or velocity dispersion.

The Outer Halos of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent progress is summarized on the determination of the density distributions of stars and dark matter, stellar kinematics, and stellar population properties, in the extended, low surface brightness halo regions of elliptical galaxies. With integral field absorption spectroscopy and with planetary nebulae as tracers, velocity dispersion and rotation ...

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
