One Piece at a Time—Adding to the Puzzle of S0 Formation
Galaxies, 2017 Understanding the origin of galaxies remains a topic of debate in the current astronomy. In this work, we have focused on lenticular (S0) galaxies located in low-density environments, using their associated globular cluster (GC) systems as a tool ...

Rotation of the large lenticular galaxy NGC 612* [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1980 The radio galaxy NGC 612 (≡ PKS 0131 – 36) has been studied spectroscopically and the velocity field measured in emission lines of [O II], [O III] and Hα. A rotation curve has been determined to a radius of 40 kpc (H=50kms−1Mpc−1). The rotation curve of this SO galaxy is essentially flat, as is found for many late-type systems, with an amplitude of ...

Phenomenological approach to the modelling of elliptical galaxies: The problem of the mass-to-light ratio [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2007 In this paper the problem of the phenomenological modelling of elliptical galaxies using various available observational data is presented. Recently, Tortora, Cardona and Piedipalumbo (2007) suggested a double power law expression for the global ...

Extremely alpha-Enriched Globular Clusters in Early-Type Galaxies: A Step towards the Dawn of Stellar Populations? [PDF]
, 2006 We compare [alpha/Fe], metallicity, and age distributions of globular clusters in elliptical, lenticular, and spiral galaxies, which we derive from Lick line index measurements.

Low dark matter content of the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 821 [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2014 In this paper we analyze the kinematics and dynamics of the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 821 based on its globular clusters (GCs) and planetary nebulae (PNe).

Creating lenticular galaxies with major mergers [PDF]
, 2016 Lenticular galaxies (S0s) represent the majority of early-type galaxies in the local Universe, but their formation channels are still poorly understood. While galaxy mergers are obvious pathways to suppress star formation and increase bulge sizes, the marked parallelism between spiral and lenticular galaxies (e.g.

Ages and abundances in large-scale stellar disks of nearby S0 galaxies [PDF]
, 2012 By undertaking deep long-slit spectroscopy with the focal reducer SCORPIO of the Russian 6m telescope, we studied stellar population properties and their variation with radius in 15 nearby S0 galaxies sampling a wide range of luminosities and ...

Local elliptical galaxies: Some aspects of theory vs. observations [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2007 In this paper we analyze on, the sample of the local elliptical galaxies, some predictions of various cosmological theories. We start with the sample of ellipticals described in Samurović (2007b) and confront the established concentration parameters and ...
