NGC 1436: the making of a lenticular galaxy in the Fornax cluster [PDF]
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

A slow bar in the lenticular barred galaxy NGC 4277 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Aims. We characterised the properties of the bar hosted in lenticular galaxy NGC4277, which is located behind the Virgo cluster. Methods. We measured the bar length and strength from the surface photometry obtained from the broad-band imaging of the ...

The present-day globular cluster kinematics of lenticular galaxies from the E-MOSAICS simulations and their relation to the galaxy assembly histories [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 We study the present-day rotational velocity (Vrot) and velocity dispersion (σ) profiles of the globular cluster (GC) systems in a sample of 50 lenticular (S0) galaxies from the E-MOSAICS galaxy formation simulations.

WISDOM Project – IX. Giant molecular clouds in the lenticular galaxy NGC 4429: effects of shear and tidal forces on clouds [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 We present high spatial resolution (≈12 pc) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 12CO(J = 3–2) observations of the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 4429. We identify 217 giant molecular clouds within the 450 pc radius molecular gas disc. The clouds

The MBHBM$^{\star}$ Project -- II. Molecular Gas Kinematics in the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 3593 Reveal a Supermassive Black Hole [PDF]
, 2021 As part of the Measuring Black Holes in BelowMilkyWay-mass (M) galaxies (MBHBM) Project, we present a dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 3593, using cold molecular gas 12CO(2-1) emission ...

The SLUGGS survey: chromodynamical modelling of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023 [PDF]
, 2015 Globular clusters (GCs) can be considered discrete, long-lived, dynamical tracers that retain crucial information about the assembly history of their parent galaxy. In this paper, we present a new catalogue of GC velocities and colours for the lenticular

A Chandra Observation of the Nearby Lenticular Galaxy NGC 5102: Where Are the X-Ray Binaries? [PDF]
, 2005 We present results from a 34 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) population and the hot interstellar medium (ISM) in the nearby (d = 3.1 Mpc) lenticular galaxy NGC 5102, previously shown to have an unusually low X-ray ...
