Molecular Gas in Elliptical Galaxies
, 2000
"... Abstract. The distribution and kinematics of the molecular gas in elliptical galaxies give information on the origin and history of the gas and the rate of star formation activity in ellipticals. I describe some preliminary results of a survey which will more than double the number of elliptical gal ..."

The Shapes and Ages of Elliptical Galaxies
, 1996
"... Recently a controversy has arisen over the ages of elliptical galaxies. The conventional view is that elliptical galaxies are old and coeval systems, formed by an initial starburst about 15 Gyrs ago. New population syntheses (Worthey 1994) combined ..."

The formation history of elliptical galaxies
, 2006
"... Elliptical galaxies are the most massive stellar systems in the local Universe and appear to define a homogeneous class of objects with uniformly old and red populations, negligible amounts of gas, and very little star formation. Their ..."

Cold gas in elliptical galaxies
, 2008
"... One of the proposed mechanisms for the formation of elliptical galaxies is the “merger hypothesis ” postulating that these systems are the product of disc galaxy mergers (Toomre & Toomre 1972). A number of studies suggest that ..."

The Distribution of Elliptical Galaxy Shapes
"... : An estimate of the parent distribution function of the intrinsic shapes of elliptical galaxies is calculated by fitting photometric and kinematic data from the Davies and Birkinshaw sample to a set of dynamical models. 1. Introduction Determining the intrinsic shapes of elliptical galaxies is not ..."

Chaos and the Shapes of Elliptical Galaxies
, 1996
"... Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations reveal that the density of stars in most elliptical galaxies rises toward the center in a power-law cusp. Many of these galaxies also contain central dark objects, possibly supermassive black holes. The gravitational force from a steep cusp or black hole wil ..."

EVOLUTION OF GAS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES
, 2000
"... We review the origin and structure of hot (cooling flow) gas in elliptical galaxies. X-ray observations can be used to determine the stellar mass to light ratio, the mass profiles of dark matter halos, and the interstellar magnetic field. Interstellar gas cools over a large volume, forming stars wit ..."
