The intrinsic shape and dynamical structure of the bulges of lenticular galaxies
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 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 of their formation.

NGC 404, A Rejuvenated Lenticular Galaxy on a Merger-Induced, Blueward Excursion into the Green Valley [PDF]
, 2010 We have discovered recent star formation in the outermost portion (1-4x R_25) of the nearby lenticular (S0) galaxy NGC 404 using GALEX UV imaging.

The SLUGGS survey: chromodynamical modelling of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 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 galaxy NGC 1023, we study their kinematics and spatial distribution, in comparison with the ...

WISDOM Project – III. Molecular gas measurement of the supermassive black hole mass in the barred lenticular galaxy NGC4429 [PDF]
, 2017 As part of the mm-Wave Interferometric Survey of Dark Object Masses project we present an estimate of the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the nearby fast-rotating early-type galaxy NGC4429, that is barred and has a boxy/peanut-shaped bulge.

Laboratory exploration of mineral precipitates from Europa's subsurface ocean. [PDF]
J Appl Crystallogr, 2021 Precipitation experiments from a model Europan ocean solution subjected to fast and slow freezing suggest that the highly hydrated Na–Mg sulfate phase Na2Mg(SO4)2·16H2O is one of the lowest‐temperature mineral phases likely to be stable on Europa's surface and may therefore be astrobiologically significant.The precipitation of hydrated phases from a ...

The central black hole mass of the high-σ but low-bulge-luminosity lenticular galaxy NGC 1332★ [PDF]
, 2010 The masses of the most massive supermassive black holes (SMBHs) predicted by the M BH -σ and M BH -L relations appear to be in conflict. Which of the two relations is the more fundamental one remains an open question.

A study of globular clusters in a lenticular galaxy in Hydra I from deep HST/ACS photometry [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 We take advantage of exquisitely deep optical imaging data from HST/ACS in the F475W ($g_{F475W}$) and F606W ($V_{F606W}$) bands, to study the properties of the globular cluster (GC) population in the intermediate mass lenticular galaxy PGC 087327, in ...

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

Recovering the origins of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3115 using multiband imaging [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 A detailed study of the morphology of lenticular galaxies is an important way to understand how this type of galaxy is formed and evolves over time. Decomposing a galaxy into its components (disc, bulge, bar, ...) allows recovering the colour gradients
