The low dark matter content of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3998
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 We observed the lenticular galaxy NGC 3998 with the Mitchell Integral-Field Spectrograph and extracted line-of-sight velocity distributions out to three half-light radii. We constructed collisionless orbit models in order to constrain NGC 3998's dark and

An over-massive black hole in the compact lenticular galaxy NGC 1277 [PDF]
Nature, 2012 Most massive galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centres, and the masses of the black holes are believed to correlate with properties of the host-galaxy bulge component(1).

NGC 1436: the making of a lenticular galaxy in the Fornax Cluster
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We study the evolutionary path of the Fornax cluster galaxy NGC$~$1436, which is known to be currently transitioning from a spiral into a lenticular morphology. This galaxy hosts an inner star-forming disc and an outer quiescent disc, and we analyse data

Lenticular galaxies with ultraviolet rings [PDF]
Astronomy Letters, 2011 Based on GALEX (Galaxy Ultraviolet Explorer) data, we have compiled a list of lenticular galaxies with ultraviolet rings—radially localized star-forming regions. We have analyzed the optical structure of these galaxies using SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) surface photometry, measured the colors of the rings, and compared the radial localizations of ...

The extremely populated globular cluster system of the lenticular galaxy NGC 6861 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015 We present a photometric study of the globular cluster (GC) system associated with the lenticular galaxy (S0) NGC 6861, which is located in a relatively low density environment. It is based on Gemini/GMOS images in the filters g′, r′, i′ of three fields,

The formation of lenticular and compact elliptical galaxies
2023S0 galaxies, otherwise known as lenticular galaxies, are very common throughout the Universe, becoming the most dominant kind of galaxy within large galaxy clusters. Yet despite this, how they came to be remains an unanswered question and an area of highly active research.

Lenticular galaxies - the one in the middle
2016The lenticular (S0) galaxies introduced by Hubble (1936) as a morphological transition class between elliptical and early-type spiral galaxies, which have the most massive bulges among disk galaxies, may have formed in several different ways as suggested by theoretical and numerical simulation studies.
