The Hubble Sequence in Groups: The Birth of the Early-Type Galaxies [PDF]
, 2010 The physical mechanisms and timescales that determine the morphological signatures and the quenching of star formation of typical (~L*) elliptical galaxies are not well understood.

The formation history of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006 We take advantage of the largest high-resolution simulation of cosmic structure growth ever carried out -- the Millennium Simulation of the concordance LambdaCDM cosmogony -- to study how the star formation histories, ages and metallicities of elliptical galaxies depend on environment and on stellar mass.

The Globular Cluster System of the Galaxy NGC 6876
Galaxies, 2017 We present preliminary results of the deep photometric study of the elliptical galaxy NGC 6876, located at the center of the Pavo group, and its globular cluster system.

JWST’s PEARLS: Dust Attenuation and Gravitational Lensing in the Backlit-galaxy System VV 191
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We derive the spatial and wavelength behavior of dust attenuation in the multiple-armed spiral galaxy VV 191b using backlighting by the superimposed elliptical system VV 191a in a pair with an exceptionally favorable geometry for this measurement ...

Galaxies, 2023 In April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration successfully imaged a supermassive black hole (SMBH) for the first time, revealing the apparent “shadow” cast by the dark compact object M87* in the center of the elliptical galaxy Virgo A [..

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.

The Origin of Star Formation in Early-type Galaxies Inferred from Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the origin of star formation activity in early-type galaxies with current star formation using spatially resolved spectroscopic data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

Numerical modelling of Auriga's Wheel - a new ring galaxy
, 2012 We model the formation of Auriga's Wheel - a recently discovered collisional ring galaxy. Auriga's Wheel has a number of interesting features including a bridge of stars linking the neighbouring elliptical to the ring galaxy, and evidence for components ...

Weak homology of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 We start by studying a small set of objects characterized by photometric profiles that have been pointed out to deviate significantly from the standard R^{1/4} law. For these objects we confirm that a generic R^{1/n} law, with n a free parameter, can provide superior fits (the best-fit value of n can be lower than 2.5 or higher than 10), better than ...

ABSORPTION LINE GRADIENTS IN THE SPECTRUM OF AN ELLIPTICAL GALAXY NGC 5864A [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 The archival long-slit spectra, covering the wavelength range 4050 ~ 5150 Å, have been used to investigate the radial behavior of absorption line fea-tures (G4300, Fe4383, Ca4455, Fe4531, and Hβ) of an elliptical galaxy NGC 5846A.
