Simulating galaxy formation with black hole driven thermal and kinetic feedback [PDF]
, 2016 The inefficiency of star formation in massive elliptical galaxies is widely believed to be caused by the interactions of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with the surrounding gas.

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 ...

The (galaxy-wide) IMF in giant elliptical galaxies: From top to bottom [PDF]
, 2013 Recent evidence based independently on spectral line strengths and dynamical modelling point towards a non-universal stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF), probably implying an excess of low-mass stars in elliptical galaxies with a high velocity dispersion.

Cold gas in elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001 We explore the evolution of the cold gas (molecular and neutral hydrogen) of elliptical galaxies and merger remnants ordered into a time sequence on the basis of spectroscopic age estimates. We find that the fraction of cold gas in early merger remnants decreases significantly for ~1-2Gyr, but subsequent evolution toward evolved elliptical systems sees

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.

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).

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 PN.S Elliptical Galaxy Survey: Data Reduction, Planetary Nebula Catalog, and Basic Dynamics for NGC 3379 [PDF]
, 2007 We present results from Planetary Nebula Spectrograph (PN.S) observations of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 and a description of the data reduction pipeline. We detected 214 planetary nebulae, of which 191 are ascribed to NGC 3379 and 23 to the companion
