We use the recently discovered simple photometric parameter Central Intensity Ratio (CIR, Aswathy & Ravikumar 2018) determined for a sample of 57 nearby (z < 0.02) Seyfert galaxies to explore the central features of galaxies and their…

Using a sample of 13 early-type spiral galaxies hosting nuclear rings, we report remarkable correlations between the properties of the nuclear rings and the central intensity ratio (CIR) of their host galaxies. The CIR, a function of…

We propose a novel technique to estimate the masses of super massive black holes (SMBHs) residing at the centres of massive galaxies in the nearby Universe using simple photometry. Aperture photometry using SEXTRACTOR is employed to…

We report strong connections between central intensity ratio (CIR) and hot gas properties of Early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby ($\rm D<30 Mpc$) Universe. We find new strong correlations between (optical) CIR and X-ray gas luminosity…

We present analysis of 63 nearby ($<$ 44 Mpc) early-type galaxies hosting nuclear star clusters using the recently discovered parameter Central Intensity Ratio (CIR$_I$) determined from near-infra-red (3.6 $\mu$m) observations with the…

We have investigated the properties of a volume and magnitude limited sample of nearby early type galaxies that were carefully selected from the AAO two degree field galaxy redshift survey. We used images from the DSS to confirm the E/S0…

We present line-strengths and kinematics from the central regions of 32 galaxies with Hubble types ranging from E to Sbc. Spectral indices, based on the Lick system, are measured in the optical and near infra-red (NIR). The 24 indices…

We revisit the color-magnitude relation (CMR) of the Virgo cluster early-type galaxies in order to explore its alleged non-linearity. To this aim, we reanalyze the relation already published from data obtained within the ACS Virgo Cluster…

Early type galaxies have projected central density brightness profile logarithmic slopes, gamma^prime, ranging from about 0 to 1. We show that gamma^prime is strongly correlated, r= 0.83, with the coarse grain phase density of the galaxy…

Many early-type galaxies have been detected at wavelengths of 24 to 160 micron, but the emission is usually dominated by heating from an AGN or from the evolved stellar population. Here we present Spitzer MIPS observations of a sample of…

The relation between X-ray luminosity and near-infrared luminosity for early-type galaxies has been examined. Near-infrared (NIR) luminosities should provide a superior measure of stellar mass compared to optical luminosities used in…

We present new relations between recently defined line-strength indices in the near-IR (CaT*, CaT, PaT, MgI, and sTiO) and central velocity dispersion (sigma_0) for a sample of 35 early-type galaxies, showing evidence for significant…

We explore the near-infrared (NIR) $K$-band properties of galaxies within 93 galaxy clusters and groups using data from the 2MASS. We use X-ray properties of these clusters to pinpoint cluster centers and estimate cluster masses. By…

Early-type galaxies provide unique tests for the predictions of the cold dark matter cosmology and the baryonic physics assumptions entering models for galaxy formation. In this work, we use the Illustris simulation to study correlations of…

We present an investigation into the first 500 Myr of galaxy evolution from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey. CEERS, one of 13 JWST ERS programs, targets galaxy formation from z~0.5 to z>10 using several imaging and…

We present a NICMOS 1.6 micron imaging isophotal study of 27 early-type galaxies. Our selected sample is not as biased against dusty galaxies as the visible WFPC samples observed with HST. Core galaxies have reduced ellipticity and boxiness…

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 using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample was used to study how early-type…

We explore possible correlations between light profile shapes, as parameterized by the Sersic index or the concentration index C_re(1/3), and relevant stellar population parameters in early-type galaxies. Mean luminosity weighted ages,…

Context: The combination of optical and near-infrared (NIR) colours has the potential to break the age/metallicity degeneracy and offers a better metallicity sensitivity than optical colours alone. Previous studies of extragalactic globular…
