A Catalog of the Most Optically Luminous Galaxies at z < 0.3: Super Spirals, Super Lenticulars, Super Post-mergers, and Giant Ellipticals [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019
We present a catalog of the 1525 most optically luminous galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with r-band luminosity L_r > 8L* and redshift z<0.3, including 84 super spirals, 15 super lenticulars, 14 super post-merger galaxies, and 1400 giant ellipticals.

Investigation of the Fundamental Plane Relationship For the Evolution of the Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies

open access: yesJournal of Education and Science
The Fundamental Plane relates the effective radius and surface brightness of an early-type galaxy to its velocity dispersion. It is important in understanding galaxy formation and evolution processes. The present work aims to investigate this relation as well as Faber-Jackson and Kormendy relations for both elliptical and lenticular galaxies separately

Investigating the Correlations between Physical Parameters of Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Science
This study aims to investigate the features of stellar-gaseous kinematics and dynamics mass using scaling coefficient relationships (such as the Faber–Jackson relation (FJR)) of two samples of elliptical and lenticular galaxies. These two samples of 80 ellipticals and 97 lenticulars were selected from previous literature works.

Dust-lanes in elliptical and lenticular galaxies

open access: yes, 1982
A small proportion of elliptical and lenticular galaxies show evidence of well-defined dust-lanes when examined on deep survey plates. New near-infrared (JHK) observations of 46 dust-lane galaxies are presented and compared with those for a sample of 24 morphologigally normal systems. Infrared excesses are found preferentially in galaxies which exhibit

Early-type galaxy speciation: elliptical (E) and ellicular (ES) galaxies in the Mbh–M*,sph diagram, and a merger-driven explanation for the origin of ES galaxies, antitruncated stellar discs in lenticular (S0) galaxies, and the Sérsicification of E galaxy light profiles

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT In a recent series of papers, supermassive black holes were used to discern pathways in galaxy evolution. By considering the black holes’ coupling with their host galaxy’s bulge/spheroid, the progression of mass within each component has shed light on the chronological sequence of galaxy speciation.

The Surface Brightness Fluctuations and Globular Cluster Populations of Virgo Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2000
The Virgo Cluster of galaxies is a complex system composed of several subclusters or ““ clouds.II Our understanding of this structure is severely limited by the small number of member galaxies for which high-precision distance measurements are available.
