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 ...

A giant elliptical galaxy with a lightweight initial mass function [PDF]
, 2013 We present new observations of the closest known strong-lensing galaxy, the σ ≈ 330 km s− 1 giant elliptical ESO325−G004, made with the ESO Very Large Telescope.

A Cosmological Framework for the Co-Evolution of Quasars, Supermassive Black Holes, and Elliptical Galaxies. I. Galaxy Mergers and Quasar Activity [PDF]
, 2007 We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. By combining theoretically well-constrained halo and subhalo mass functions as a function of redshift and environment with empirical

A short γ-ray burst apparently associated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z = 0.225 [PDF]
Nature, 2005 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) come in two classes: long (> 2 s), soft-spectrum bursts and short, hard events. Most progress has been made on understanding the long GRBs, which are typically observed at high redshift (z ≈ 1) and found in subluminous star ...

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.

Hoag’s Object: evidence for cold accretion on to an elliptical galaxy [PDF]
, 2011 We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations of the famous Hoag’s Object, a peculiar ring galaxy with a central roundish core. The nature of Hoag’s Object is still under controversy. Previous studies demonstrated that a major accretion event

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

ELLIPTICAL GALAXY MASSES OUT TO FIVE EFFECTIVE RADII: THE REALM OF DARK MATTER [PDF]
, 2011 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-
