Papers
- The Demography of Massive Dark Objects in Galaxy CentersThe Astronomical Journal · 1998 · 4,023 citations
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 galaxy is axisymmetric, with a two-integral distribution function, arbitrary inclination angle, a position-independent…
- Galaxy morphology in rich clusters - Implications for the formation and evolution of galaxiesThe Astrophysical Journal · 1980 · 3,474 citations
The paper presents a study of the galaxy populations in 55 rich clusters along with a discussion of the implications for the formation and/or evolution of different morphological types. A well defined relationship is found between local galaxy density and…
