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

Major progress has been achieved in recent years in mapping the properties of passively-
evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift∼ 2. Here …

We study the volume-limited and nearly mass-selected (stellar mass M stars≳ 6× 109 M⊙)
ATLAS3D sample of 260 early-type galaxies (ETGs, ellipticals Es and lenticulars S0s). We …

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 investigate large-scale galactic winds driven by momentum deposition. Momentum
injection is provided by (1) radiation pressure produced by the continuum absorption and …

We investigate the well-known correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio (M/L)
and other global observables of elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies. We construct two …

Based on a uniform dynamical analysis of the line-profile shapes of 21 mostly luminous,
slowly rotating, and nearly round elliptical galaxies, we have investigated the dynamical …

Abstract We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to construct a sample of 625 brightest
group and cluster galaxies (BCGs) together with control samples of non-BCGs matched in …

A magnitude-limited sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies in the redshift range 0.01≤
z≤ 0.3 was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using morphological and …

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 …
