Lenticular galaxies in the process of evolution [PDF]
AbstractWe present images of a number of lenticular galaxies which appear to be undergoing evolutionary processes such as ram-pressure stripping or gravitational interactions, or possess features indicative of some evolutionary process in the recent past, such as fossil spiral arms, a polar ring-like structure, or a warped disk with box-peanut bulge ...

Measuring the mass of the supermassive black hole of the lenticular galaxy NGC 4546 [PDF]
Most galaxies with a well-structured bulge host a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in their centre. Stellar kinematics models applied to adaptive optics (AO) assisted integral field unit observations are well-suited to measure the SMBH mass ($M_{BH}$) and ...

Fornax 3D project: a two-dimensional view of the stellar initial mass function in the massive lenticular galaxy FCC 167 [PDF]
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) regulates the baryonic cycle within galaxies, and is a key ingredient for translating observations into physical quantities.

Combining stellar populations with orbit-superposition dynamical modelling: the formation history of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3115 [PDF]
We present a combination of the Schwarzschild orbit-superposition dynamical modelling technique with the spatially resolved mean stellar age and metallicity maps to uncover the formation history of galaxies.

I discuss my latest observational data and ideas about decoupled gaseous subsystems in nearby lenticular galaxies. As an extreme case of inclined gaseous disks, I demonstrate a sample of inner polar disks, derive their incidence, about 10% among the ...

Abstract This paper provides an overview of the Curiosity rover's exploration at Vera Rubin ridge (VRR) and summarizes the science results. VRR is a distinct geomorphic feature on lower Aeolis Mons (informally known as Mount Sharp) that was identified in orbital data based on its distinct texture, topographic expression, and association with a hematite

Investigation of the Fundamental Plane Relationship For the Evolution of the Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies [PDF]
The Fundamental Plane relates the effective radius and surface brightness of an early-type galaxy to its velocity dispersion. It is important in understanding galaxy formation and evolution processes. The present work aims to investigate this relation as

Lack of FIBRILLIN6 in Arabidopsis thaliana affects light acclimation and sulfate metabolism
Summary Arabidopsis thaliana contains 13 fibrillins (FBNs), which are all localized to chloroplasts. FBN1 and FBN2 are involved in photoprotection of photosystem II, and FBN4 and FBN5 are thought to be involved in plastoquinone transport and biosynthesis, respectively. The functions of the other FBNs remain largely unknown.

The level of photometry is the basic level of the Hungarian galaxy [PDF]
The photometric and fundamental plane for a sample of early type galaxies(elliptical and lenticular galaxies) which belongs to Virgo cluster have been calculated by fitting the Sersic model ( r1/n-model) to the surface brightness profiles along the major
