Formation of Transitional cE/UCD Galaxies through Massive/Dwarf Disc Galaxy Mergers
Galaxies, 2023 The dynamics of the merger of a dwarf disc galaxy with a massive spiral galaxy of the Milky Way type were studied in detail. The remnant of such interaction after numerous crossings of the satellite through the disc of the main galaxy was a compact ...

Mass Dependence of Galaxy–Halo Alignment in LOWZ and CMASS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We measure the galaxy-ellipticity (GI) correlations for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 LOWZ and CMASS samples with the shape measurements from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys.

Investigation of the Fundamental Plane Relationship For the Evolution of the Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies [PDF]
مجلة التربية والعلمThe Fundamental Plane relates the effective radius and surface brightness of an early-type galaxy to its velocity dispersion. It is important in understanding galaxy formation and evolution processes. The present work aims to investigate this relation as

Decoding NGC 7252 as a blue elliptical galaxy
, 2023 Elliptical galaxies with blue optical colours and significant star formation are hypothesised to be major merger remnants of gas-rich spiral galaxies or normal elliptical galaxies with a sudden burst of star formation. We present here a scenario in which

Tracing Galaxy Evolution by Their Present-Day Luminosity Function
Open Astronomy, 2011 Galaxy luminosity functions are derived for different morphological types and various colors of galaxies, to trace the evolutionary effects which a priori should be different for void and supercluster galaxies.

THE ELLIPTICITIES OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS OF DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGICAL TYPE
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014 The distribution of galaxy ellipticities was analyzed for 207 rich PF galaxy clusters found in the Munster Red Sky Survey Galaxy Catalogue. Clusters with BM types from a comparison with the ACO catalogue were also classified on the new scheme.
