Modeling galaxy formation in a cosmological context presents one of the greatest
challenges in astrophysics today due to the vast range of scales and numerous physical …

Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …

The ATLAS3D project is a multiwavelength survey combined with a theoretical modelling
effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimetre and optical, and provide …

The observation of quasars at very high redshift such as Pōniuā'ena is a challenge for
models of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation. This work presents a study of SMBH …

In the companion Paper XV of this series, we derive accurate total mass-to-light ratios within
a sphere of radius centred on the galaxy, as well as stellar (M/L) stars (with the dark matter …

We present a two-dimensional (2D) fitting algorithm (Galfit, ver. 3) with new capabilities to
study the structural components of galaxies and other astronomical objects in digital images …

Supermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 85 galaxies by dynamical modeling of
spatially resolved kinematics. The Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized BH research by …

We present a new high-precision, JWST-based, strong-lensing model for the galaxy cluster
Abell 2744 at z= 0.3072. By combining the deep, high-resolution JWST imaging from the …

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy,
particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which …

We construct dynamical models for a sample of 36 nearby galaxies with Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) photometry and ground-based kinematics. The models assume that each …
