DISKY ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES AND THE ALLEGEDLY OVER-MASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN THE COMPACT MASSIVE “ES” GALAXY NGC 1271 [PDF]
, 2016 While spiral and lenticular galaxies have large-scale disks extending beyond their bulges, and most local early-type galaxies with 1010 < M*/M⊙ < 2 × 1011 contain a disk (e.g., ATLAS3D), the early-type galaxies do possess a range of disk sizes.

CENTRAL STELLAR MASS DEFICITS IN THE BULGES OF LOCAL LENTICULAR GALAXIES, AND THE CONNECTION WITH COMPACT z ∼ 1.5 GALAXIES [PDF]
, 2013 We have used the full radial extent of images from the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 to extract surface brightness profiles from a sample of six, local lenticular galaxy candidates. We have modeled

VEGAS-SSS. A VST survey of elliptical galaxies in the southern hemisphere: analysis of small stellar systems. Testing the methodology on the globular cluster system in NGC3115 [PDF]
, 2014 We present a study of globular clusters (GCs) and other small stellar systems (SSSs) in the field of NGC3115, observed as part of the VEGAS imaging survey, carried out with the VST telescope. We use deep g and i data of NGC3115, a well-studied lenticular

Repainting the colour-mass diagrams by unearthing the green mountain: dust-rich S0 galaxies in the colour-(galaxy stellar mass) diagram, and the colour-(black hole mass) relations for dust-poor versus dust-rich galaxies [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyLenticular galaxies are notoriously misclassified as elliptical galaxies and, as such, a (disc inclination)-dependent correction for dust is often not applied to the magnitudes of dusty lenticular galaxies.

WHY DO DIFFERENT EARLY-TYPE-GALAXIES HAVE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF ROTATIONAL SUPPORT? [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade. Early-type galaxies (ETGs, i.e. elliptical and lenticular galaxies) differ in their amount of rotational support – some are purely supported by velocity dispersion, while oth- ers show pronounced ordered rotation.

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Variation of the Stellar Initial Mass Function in Spiral and Early-type Galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 We perform Jeans anisotropic modeling (JAM) on elliptical and spiral galaxies from the MaNGA DR13 sample. By comparing the stellar mass-to-light ratios estimated from stellar population synthesis and from JAM, we find a systematic variation of the ...

Dust-lanes in elliptical and lenticular galaxies
, 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
