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 [..

Chandra X-Ray Observations of the X-Ray Faint Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4697 [PDF]
A Chandra ACIS S3 observation of the X-ray faint elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 resolves much of the X-ray emission (61% of the counts from within one effective radius) into 90 point sources, of which ~80 are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) associated with ...

Chandra Observation of M84, a Radio Lobe Elliptical Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster [PDF]
We analyzed a deep Chandra observation of M84, a bright elliptical galaxy in the core of the Virgo Cluster. We find that the spatial distribution of the soft X-ray emission is defined by the radio structure of the galaxy.

Two-component mass models of the lensing galaxy in the quadruply imaged supernova iPTF16geu
The first resolved, multiply imaged supernova Type Ia, iPTF16geu, was observed 4 years ago, five decades after such systems were first envisioned. Because of the unique properties of the source, these systems hold a lot of promise for the study of galaxy

Chandra Evidence of a Flattened, Triaxial Dark Matter Halo in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 720 [PDF]
We present an analysis of a Chandra ACIS-S observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 720, to verify the existence of a dark matter halo and to measure its ellipticity.

The Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey. X. Bulges in Stellar Mass–based Scaling Relations
We measure optical colors for the bulges of 312 disk galaxies from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey and convert their previously available R -band structural parameters to stellar-mass parameters.

A Photometric Study of Giant Ellipticals and Their Stellar Halos With VST
Observations of diffuse starlight in the outskirts of galaxies are thought to be a fundamental source of constraints on the cosmological context of galaxy assembly in the Λ CDM model.

Detection, Photometry, and Slitless Radial Velocities of 535 Planetary Nebulae in the Flattened Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4697 [PDF]
We have detected 535 planetary nebulae (PNs) in the flattened elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 using the classic on-band, off-band filter technique with the Focal Reducer and Spectrograph at the Cassegrain focus of the first 8 m telescope unit of the ESO Very ...

Hot Gas Structure in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4472 [PDF]
We present X-ray spectroscopic and morphological analyses using Chandra ACIS and ROSAT observations of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472 in the Virgo Cluster. We discuss previously unobserved X-ray structures within the extended galactic corona.
