THE ELLIPTICITIES OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS OF DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGICAL TYPE
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 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.

Properties of Early-Type, Dry Galaxy Mergers and the Origin of Massive Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
The luminosity dependence of kinematical and isophotal properties of elliptical galaxies is investigated using numerical simulations of galaxy merging, combined with semi-analytical models of hierarchical structure formation. Mergers of spiral galaxies as the only formation mechanism for elliptical galaxies can neither reproduce the kinematical and ...

Mayall II = G1 in M31: Giant Globular Cluster or Core of a Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy? [PDF]
At the moment, only the anticorrelation of metallicity with age recently observed in ω Centauri suggests that this cluster enriched itself over a timescale of about 3 Gyr.

ABSORPTION LINE GRADIENTS IN THE SPECTRUM OF AN ELLIPTICAL GALAXY NGC 5864A [PDF]
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.

Tracing Galaxy Evolution by Their Present-Day Luminosity Function
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.

Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and displays a number of morphological features that might be interpreted as an intermediate age merger remanent (∼3 Gyr).

Binary Stellar Population Synthesis Study of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
We determine relative stellar ages and metallicities mainly for about 80 elliptical galaxies in low and high density environments via the latest binary stellar population (BSP) synthesis model and test a latest hierarchical formation model of elliptical galaxies which adopted the new $\Lambda$CDM cosmology for the first time.

Numerical modelling of Auriga's Wheel - a new ring galaxy
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 ...
