Just after WWII Astronomy started to live its "Golden Age", not differently to many other sciences and human activities, especially in the west side countries. The improved resolution of telescopes and the appearance of new efficient light detectors (e.g. CCDs in the middle eighty) greatly impacted the extragalactic researches.

Radio Galaxy Zoo: The Distortion of Radio Galaxies by Galaxy Clusters [PDF]
Abstract We study the impact of cluster environment on the morphology of a sample of 4304 extended radio galaxies from Radio Galaxy Zoo. A total of 87% of the sample lies within a projected 15 Mpc of an optically identified cluster. Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are more likely than other cluster members to be radio sources, and are ...

The κ-Model under the Test of the SPARC Database
Our main goal here is to conduct a comparative analysis between the well-known MOND theory and a more recent model called the κ-model. An additional connection, between the κ-model and two other novel MOND-type theories, Newtonian Fractional-Dimension ...

When faced with the investigation of the preferential binding of a series of ligands against a known target, the solution is not always evident from single structure analysis.

Galaxy Properties in Clusters: Dependence on the Environment and the Cluster Identification Techniques [PDF]
We investigate the dependence of several galaxy properties on the environment and cluster identification techniques. We select clusters of galaxies from two catalogues based on the SDSS: the ROSAT-SDSS Galaxy Cluster Survey, and the MaxBCG Catalogue. Based on a volume limited sample of galaxies drawn from the spectroscopic DR5 SDSS, we constructed sub ...

Velocity Dispersion of 335 Galaxy Clusters Selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Statistical Evidence for Dynamical Interaction, and Against Ram-Pressure Stripping [PDF]
There has been plenty of observational evidence of cluster galaxy evolution. However, it has been difficult to identify the origin of the cluster galaxy evolution. Here we show that gravitational interaction/friction between galaxies is the statistically dominant physical mechanism responsible for the cluster galaxy evolution, and that the well-favored

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 Galaxy Sample [PDF]
The spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) galaxy sample represents the final set of galaxies observed using the original SDSS target selection criteria. We analyse the clustering of galaxies within this sample, including both

The Fastest Galaxy Evolution in an Unbiased Compact Group Sample with WISE [PDF]
We study the mid-infrared (MIR) properties of galaxies in compact groups and their environmental dependence using the \textit{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)} data. We use a volume-limited sample of 670 compact groups and their 2175 member galaxies with $M_r< -19.77$ and $0.01

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: power-spectrum analysis of the final data set and cosmological implications [PDF]
We present a power-spectrum analysis of the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), employing a direct Fourier method. The sample used comprises 221 414 galaxies with measured redshifts.
