Modeling the Ages and Chemical Abundances of Elliptical Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalSpectroscopic studies of elliptical galaxies show that their stellar population ages, mean metallicity, and α enhancement traced by [Mg/Fe] all increase with galaxy stellar mass or velocity dispersion.

Scaling Relations of Early-Type Galaxies in MOND
GalaxiesWe investigate the shape and morphology of early-type galaxies (ETGs) within the framework of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Building on our previous studies, which demonstrated that the monolithic collapse of primordial gas clouds in MOND produces ...

Energy Evolution in the Progenitor of Galaxy Shells: A Semi-analytical Model
The Astrophysical JournalThe stellar shells surrounding an elliptical galaxy, as remnants of a dwarf galaxy disrupted during merging, reveal the distribution of energy and angular momentum of the progenitor dwarf galaxy. We develop a semi-analytical model to describe the changes

The Outer Halos of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 2010 Recent progress is summarized on the determination of the density distributions of stars and dark matter, stellar kinematics, and stellar population properties, in the extended, low surface brightness halo regions of elliptical galaxies. With integral field absorption spectroscopy and with planetary nebulae as tracers, velocity dispersion and rotation ...

The Astrophysical JournalHow a seemingly “dead” host galaxy provides fuel for its active galactic nucleus (AGN) remains an unresolved problem. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we present a new high-sensitivity atomic-hydrogen (H i ...

Automatic Detection of Galaxy Type From Datasets of Galaxies Image Based on Image Retrieval Approach
Scientific Reports, 2017 This paper presents a new approach for the automatic detection of galaxy morphology from datasets based on an image-retrieval approach. Currently, there are several classification methods proposed to detect galaxy types within an image.

NO THE HOLMBERG EFFECT FOR GALAXY PAIRS SELECTED FROM THE SDSS DR9 AT Z ≤ 0:06
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2016 We studied the Holmberg effect in galaxy pairs selected from the SDSS DR9, where 60561galaxies were limited by redshift 0.02 < z < 0.06 and absolute magnitude: Mr ≤ −20.7 m for central galaxies (N=18578) and Mr > −21.5 m for neighbor galaxies (N=41983 ...

On the rotation of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1978 The tensor virial theorem is applied to models of early-type galaxies. First the theorem is applied to rotating elliptical galaxies whose constant-density surfaces are similar ellipsoids. A relationship is obtained between the observed rotations and the forms of generally triaxial galaxies.
