New Analysis of Dark Matter in Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
We investigate a correlation between the dark matter content of elliptical galaxies and their ellipticity that was initially reported in 2014. We use new determinations of dark matter and ellipticities that are posterior to that time. Our data set consists of 237 elliptical galaxies passing a strict set of criteria.

ELLIPTICAL GALAXY MASSES OUT TO FIVE EFFECTIVE RADII: THE REALM OF DARK MATTER [PDF]
We estimate the masses of elliptical galaxies out to five effective radii using planetary nebulae and globular clusters as tracers. A sample of 15 elliptical galaxies with a broad variation in mass is compiled from the literature. A distribution function-

Resequencing the Hubble sequence and the quadratic (black hole mass)-(spheroid stellar mass) relation for elliptical galaxies [PDF]
One of the most protracted problems in astronomy has been understanding the evolution of galaxy morphology. Much discussion has surrounded how lenticular galaxies may form a bridging population between elliptical and spiral galaxies. However, with recourse to a galaxy's central black hole mass, accretion-built spiral galaxies have emerged as the ...

A CENSUS OF BARYONS AND DARK MATTER IN AN ISOLATED, MILKY WAY SIZED ELLIPTICAL GALAXY [PDF]
We present a study of the dark and luminous matter in the isolated elliptical galaxy NGC 720, based on deep X-ray observations made with the Chandra and Suzaku observatories.

The dust morphology of the elliptical Galaxy M 86 with SPIRE [PDF]
We present Herschel-SPIRE observations at 250-500 mu m of the giant elliptical galaxy M 86 and examine the distribution of the resolved cold dust emission and its relation with other galactic tracers.

The Gravitational Lens CFRS03.1077 [PDF]
An exquisite gravitational arc with a radius of 2.1" has been discovered around the z = 0.938 field elliptical galaxy CFRS03.1077 during HST observations of Canada-France Redshift Survey (CFRS) fields.

The PN.S elliptical galaxy survey: A standard ΛCDM halo around NGC 4374? [PDF]
As part of our current programme to test ACDM predictions for dark matter (DM) haloes using extended kinematical observations of early-type galaxies, we present a dynamical analysis of the bright elliptical galaxy NGC 4374 (M84) based on ∼450 planetary ...

Galaxy Light Concentration. I. Index stability and the connection with galaxy structure, dynamics, and supermassive black holes [PDF]
We explore the stability of different galaxy light concentration indices as a function of the outermost observed galaxy radius. With a series of analytical light-profile models, we show mathematically how varying the radial extent to which one measures a

SDSS J150634.27+013331.6: the second compact elliptical galaxy in the NGC 5846 group★ [PDF]
We report the discovery of the second compact elliptical (cE) galaxy SDSS J150634.27 + 013331.6 in the nearby NGC 5846 group by the Virtual Observatory (VO) workflow .

Double-nucleus elliptical MCG-01-12-005 in an X-ray emitting cluster of galaxies [PDF]
The scenario of galaxy formation is believed to follow a structure that builds up from the bottom, with large galaxies being formed by several merging episodes of smaller ones.
