Star Formation in the Lopsided Galaxy Arp 291
The Astrophysical JournalWe have investigated the star formation process taking place in the lopsided galaxy Arp 291, based on narrowband images in the H α , [N ii ] λ 6583, and [O iii ] λ 5007 emission lines, obtained using the modern tunable photometer MaNGaL at the Caucasus ...

Abundant Molecular Gas in the Central Region of Lenticular Galaxy PGC 39535
The Astrophysical JournalLenticular galaxies (S0s) in the local Universe are generally absent of recent star formation and lack molecular gas. In this paper, we investigate one massive ( M _* ∼ 5 × 10 ^10 M _⊙ ) star-forming S0, PGC 39535, with the Northern Extended Millimeter ...

Grigori Kuzmin and Stellar Dynamics
Open Astronomy, 2011 Grigori Kuzmin was a very gifted dynamicist and one of the towering figures in the distinguished history of the Tartu Observatory. He obtained a number of important results in relative isolation which were later rediscovered in the West.

A Photometric Study of Giant Ellipticals and Their Stellar Halos With VST
Galaxies, 2017 Observations of diffuse starlight in the outskirts of galaxies are thought to be a fundamental source of constraints on the cosmological context of galaxy assembly in the Λ CDM model.

The Extended Baryonic Halo of NGC 3923
Galaxies, 2017 Galaxy halos and their globular cluster systems build up over time by the accretion of small satellites. We can learn about this process in detail by observing systems with ongoing accretion events and comparing the data with simulations.

The Ages and Metallicities of Early Type Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster [PDF]
, 1997 We have measured central line strengths for a complete sample of early type galaxies in the Fornax cluster, comprising 11 elliptical and 11 lenticular galaxies, more luminous than M_B=-17. In contrast to the elliptical galaxies in the sample studied by Gonzalez (and recently revisited by Trager) we find that the Fornax ellipticals follow the locus of ...

Misaligned Gas Acquisition as a Formation Pathway of S0 Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalWe analyze a sample of 753 S0 galaxies from the MPL-10 of Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey and investigate the gas–star kinematic misalignment and merger remnant fraction in galaxies with different morphological types.

Bulge-Disk Decomposition of 659 Spiral and Lenticular Galaxy Brightness Profiles [PDF]
, 1998 We present one of the largest homogeneous sets of spiral and lenticular galaxy brightness profile decompositions completed to date. The 659 galaxies in our sample have been fitted with a deVaucouleurs' law for the bulge component and an inner-truncated exponential for the disk component. Of the 659 galaxies in the sample, 620 were successfully fit with

Creating S0s with Major Mergers: A 3D View
Galaxies, 2015 A number of simulators have argued that major mergers can sometimes preserve discs, but the possibility that they could explain the emergence of lenticular galaxies (S0s) has been generally neglected.
