The nature and origin of disky elliptical galaxies [PDF]
, 2002 The observational trend that disky elliptical galaxies exhibit younger luminosity- weighted ages than boxy ellipticals is investigated. The presence of a possible young stellar disk embedded in these galaxies is explored by comparing kinematics derived ...

Stäackel-type Dynamic Model of the Galaxy Based on Maser Kinematic Data
Open Astronomy, 2016 Abstract A dynamic model of the Galaxy is constructed based on kinematic data for masers with trigonometric parallaxes. Maser data is used to compute the model potential in the Galactic plane. The potential is then generalized to three dimensions assuming the existence of a third quadratic integral of motion. The resulting Galactic model

High-redshift quasars and their host galaxies – I. Kinematical and dynamical properties and their tracers [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 ABSTRACT Observations of high-redshift quasars provide information on the massive black holes (MBHs) powering them and the galaxies hosting them. Current observations of z ≳ 6 hosts, at sub-millimetre wavelengths, trace the properties of cold gas, and these are used to compare with the correlations between MBHs and galaxies ...

A Dialogue on Revolutions and Revolutionaries in Science: A Perspective From Quantum Mechanics
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT We discuss the notions of scientific revolutions and revolutionaries in the context of the Relativity Revolution and of the First, Second, and Third Quantum Revolutions. We conclude that at the core of the question of what qualifies as a revolution and revolutionary is an assessment of the gradients of knowledge accumulation over time, both at

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2005 Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity III: Dwarf Galaxies Kinematics [PDF]
, 2023 Recently, we put forward a framework where the dark matter (DM) component within virialized halos is subject to a non-local interaction originated by fractional gravity (FG) effects.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The Dynamics of the Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy FS 76: Bridging the Kinematic Dichotomy between Elliptical and Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 We present major- and minor-axis kinematics out to ˜2 half-light radii for the bright (MB = -16.7) dwarf elliptical galaxy (dE) FS 76, a member of the NGC 5044 group. Its velocity dispersion is 46 ‘ 2 km s-1 in the center and rises to 70 ‘ 10 km s-1 at half-light radius. Beyond 1Re, the dispersion starts to fall again.
