We present a new method for extracting the true 3-d velocity and density fields from the nonlinear redshift--space projected density field. The method is based on the nonlinear, nonlocal transformation of the density field. We assume a…

A general method of deprojecting two-dimensional images to reconstruct the three dimensional structure of the projected object --specifically X-ray, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) and gravitational lensing maps of rich clusters of galaxies --…

We describe a non-parametric method for determining both the anisotropy and mass profiles of elliptical galaxies from velocity dispersions and velocity profile shapes along the line of sight. In this way, mass-to-light ratios out to 2-3…

In observations, it is important to deproject the two fundamental quantities characterizing a bar, i.e., its length ($a$) and ellipticity ($e$), to face-on values before any careful analyses. However, systematic estimation on the…

Non-line-of-sight imaging has attracted more attentions for its wide applications.Even though ultrasensitive cameras or detectors with high time-resolution are available, current back-projection methods are still powerless to acquire a…

In this paper we derive an exact full expression for the 2D probability distribution of the ellipticity of an object measured from data, only assuming Gaussian noise in pixel values. This is a generalisation of the probability distribution…

We construct numerical models of mildly triaxial elliptical galaxies with central density cusps. Using a technique we call ``adiabatic squeezing'', we begin with a spherical gamma=1 Hernquist model and apply a drag to the velocities of the…

We re-examine the method of deprojection of proper motions, which has been used for finding the velocity ellipsoid of stars in the nearby Galaxy. This method is only legitimate if the lines of sight to the individual stars are uncorrelated…

The S\'ersic model is known to fit well the surface brightness (or surface density) profiles of elliptical galaxies and galaxy bulges, and possibly for dwarf spheroidal galaxies and globular clusters. The deprojected density and mass…

We use the statistics of strong gravitational lensing from the CLASS survey to impose constraints on the velocity dispersion and density profile of elliptical galaxies. This approach differs from much recent work, where the luminosity…

We propose a method to measure the ellipticities of dark matter halos using the lens-shear-shear 3-point correlation function. This method is immune to effects of galaxy-halo misalignments that can potentially limit 2-point galaxy-galaxy…

We investigate the velocity distribution of elliptical galaxies in the framework of Non-local Gravity. According to this approach, it is possible to recover the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies without the dark matter hypothesis.…

Subject of this paper is the weak lensing effect on galaxies that show intrinsically correlated ellipticities. In our model, we investigate the distortion of the ellipticity field if the galaxies experience an apparent shift in their…

The 3D mass distributions of galaxy clusters are generally triaxial, a geometry that is difficult to constrain from projected observations. In this work, we measure the projected halo shapes of clusters from their weak lensing signatures…

Motivated by recent developments in our understanding of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies, we explore the detailed photometric structure of a representative sample of 94 bright, nearby elliptical galaxies, using high-quality…

We study the CLASH sample of galaxy clusters using a new deprojection method for weak gravitational lensing observations. This method is non-parametric, allowing us to infer mass profiles, or equivalently circular velocities, without having…

We have studied a large number of elliptical galaxies and found a correlation between their dark matter content and the ellipticity of their visible shape. The galaxies were strictly selected so that only typical medium-size elliptical…

Using photometric and redshift data for the Virgo and Coma clusters, we present evidence for a correlation between the light concentration of elliptical galaxies (including dwarf ellipticals) and the local 3-D (i.e. non-projected) density…

We develop a new method which measures the projected density distribution w_p(r_p)n of photometric galaxies surrounding a set of spectroscopically-identified galaxies, and simultaneously the projected correlation function w_p(r_p) between…

Recent progress is summarized on the determination of the density distributions of stars and dark matter, stellar kinematics, and stellar population properties, in the extended, low surface brightness halo regions of elliptical galaxies.…
