Structure and Formation of Elliptical and Spheroidal Galaxies
John Kormendy, David B. Fisher, Mark E. Cornell +1
New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is added to published data to derive composite profiles over large dynamic ranges. Sersic functions fit…
Ten Year Review of Queue Scheduling of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Matthew Shetrone, Mark E. Cornell, James R. Fowler +10
This paper presents a summary of the first 10 years of operating the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) in queue mode. The scheduling can be quite complex but has worked effectively for…
Pseudobulges in the Disk Galaxies NGC 7690 and NGC 4593
John Kormendy, Mark E. Cornell, David L. Block +2
We present Ks-band surface photometry of NGC 7690 (Hubble type Sab) and NGC 4593 (SBb). We find that, in both galaxies, a major part of the "bulge" is as flat as the disk and has a…
Secular Evolution and the Growth of Pseudobulges in Disk Galaxies
John Kormendy, Mark E. Cornell
Galaxy evolution is in transition from an early universe dominated by hierarchical clustering to a future dominated by secular processes. These result from interactions involving c…
