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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesPlanetary nebulae (PNe) are valuable spatial and kinematic tracers of nearby galaxies. In this mini-review, I focus on their role in tracing the halo and intra-cluster/intra-group light assembly in groups and clusters of galaxies within 100 Mpc and, in ...

A New Chapter in Hard X-rays of the M87 AGN
Proceedings, 2019 The nearby M87 hosts an exceptional relativistic jet. It has been regularly monitored in radio to TeV bands, but little has been done in hard X-rays ≳10 keV.

The intrinsic shape and dynamical structure of the bulges of lenticular galaxies
, 2014 Several scenarios have been proposed to account for the formation and evolution of galactic bulges and to explain the variety of their observed properties. Both the intrinsic shape and dynamical structure of bulges depend on the mechanisms and timescales

Revisiting the Globular Cluster Systems of NGC 3258 and NGC 3268
Galaxies, 2017 We present a photometric study of NGC 3258 and NGC 3268 globular cluster systems (GCSs) with a wider spatial coverage than previous works. This allowed us to determine the extension of both GCSs, and obtain new values for their populations.
