Abundant Molecular Gas in the Central Region of Lenticular Galaxy PGC 39535

The Astrophysical Journal
Lenticular 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 ...

The luminosity function of field galaxies

, 2011
Schmidt's method for construction of luminosity function of galaxies is generalized by taking into account the dependence of density of galaxies from the distance in the near Universe.

SDSS. IV. MaNGA: The Impact of the Acquisition of Gas with Opposite Angular Momentum on the Evolution of Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal
A gaseous counterrotating galaxy is a galaxy containing a gas component with opposite angular momentum to the main stellar disk. The counterrotating gas provides direct evidence for the accretion of external material, a key aspect in hierarchical galaxy ...

Disk Growth in Bulge-Dominated Galaxies: Molecular Gas and Morphological Evolution

, 2007
Substantial numbers of morphologically regular early-type (elliptical and lenticular) galaxies contain molecular gas, and the quantities of gas are probably sufficient to explain recent estimates of the current level of star formation activity.

Statistical study of warps in a sample of spiral and lenticular galaxies

NRIAG Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics, 2016
AbstractA sample of edge-on (or nearly edge-on) spiral and lenticular galaxies is selected to study the warp phenomenon in their disks. This sample contains 36 disk galaxies selected from Watanabe’s catalogue (Watanabe, 1983). We investigate the existence of physical relations between photometric and spectroscopic parameters and the warp degree of ...

Radio Jet Feedback on the Inner Disk of Virgo Spiral Galaxy Messier 58

The Astrophysical Journal
Spitzer spectral maps reveal a disk of highly luminous, warm (>150 K) H _2 in the center of the massive spiral galaxy Messier 58, which hosts a radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN). The inner 2.6 kpc of the galaxy appears to be overrun by shocks from

Merging galaxies in isolated environments I. Multiband photometry, classification, stellar masses, and star formation rates

, 2019
Extragalactic surveys provide significant statistical data for the study of crucial galaxy parameters used to constrain galaxy evolution, e.g. stellar mass (M$_*$) and star formation rate (SFR), under different environmental conditions.

SAUNAS. II. Discovery of Cross-shaped X-Ray Emission and a Rotating Circumnuclear Disk in the Supermassive S0 Galaxy NGC 5084

The Astrophysical Journal
Combining Chandra, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, EVLA, and Hubble Space Telescope archival data and newly acquired data from the Apache Point Observatory/Dual Imaging Spectrograph, we detect a double-lobed 17 kpc X-ray emission with ...

Minor-merger-induced Star Formation Rejuvenation in an Elliptical Radio-loud Quasar Host, 3C 59

The Astrophysical Journal
We report a rare case where an elliptical radio-loud quasar host, 3C 59, rejuvenates star formation activity through minor mergers with its nearby satellite galaxies.

Star formation histories of dwarf lenticular galaxies

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT Star formation histories (SFHs) are essential for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. We present the mean SFHs of 148 dwarf lenticular galaxies (dS0s) derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra. These SFHs reveal two distinct periods of active star formation. The first period, concluding approximately 6 Gyr ago,
