The ALHAMBRA (Advance Large Homogeneous Area Medium Band Redshift Astronomical; Moles et al. 2008) survey has observed 8 different regions of the sky, including...
The Black Hole Mass-Color Relations for Early- and Late-type Galaxies: Red and Blue Sequences
The tight correlations between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass (M BH) and the properties of the host galaxy have useful implications for our understanding...
The contribution to population in ellipticals of blue stragglers - A test of their origin
An observational test of the binary hypothesis for the origin of the blue straggler (BS) stars has been performed searching for radial velocity variables among...
The formation of counterrotating cores in elliptical galaxies
The mechanism proposed by Kormendy (1984) for the formation of counterrotating cores in elliptical galaxies is investigated using self-consistent numerical...
The multiple routes of galaxy transformation across the cosmic epochs
In the local universe most of the stellar mass is in passive galaxies, where star formation isabsent or at very low levels. Understanding what are the...
Two high-velocity encounters of elliptical galaxies
This paper describes results obtained on a simulation of two high-velocity encounters of NGC 4782/4783 and NGC 2672/2673 binary elliptical galaxies which differ...
Two new Seyfert galaxies from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue
Two sources selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (PSC) have been spectroscopically identified as galaxies with a Seyfert type active nucleus. The...
Ultramassive Black Holes in the Most Massive Galaxies: M<SUB>BH</SUB>-σ versus M<SUB>BH</SUB>-R<SUB>b</SUB>
We investigate the nature of the relations between black hole (BH) mass (M BH) and the central velocity dispersion (σ) and, for core-Sérsic galaxies, the size...
