Two ten-billion-solar-mass black holes at the centres of giant elliptical galaxies.
McConnell NJ, Ma CP, Gebhardt K, Wright SA, Murphy JD, Lauer TR, Graham JR, Richstone DO. McConnell NJ, et al. Nature. 2011 Dec 8;480(7376):215-8. doi: 10.1038/nature10636. Nature. 2011. PMID: 22158244
The giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87 hosts the hitherto most massive known black hole, which has a mass of 6.3 billion solar masses. ...These two black holes are significantly more massive than predicted by linearly extrapolating the widely used correlation …

Here we report observations that reveal a cold, clumpy accretion flow towards a supermassive black hole fuel reservoir in the nucleus of the Abell 2597 Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG), a nearby (redshift z = 0.0821) giant elliptical galaxy surrounded by …

A massive galaxy in its core formation phase three billion years after the Big Bang.
Nelson E, van Dokkum P, Franx M, Brammer G, Momcheva I, Schreiber NF, da Cunha E, Tacconi L, Bezanson R, Kirkpatrick A, Leja J, Rix HW, Skelton R, van der Wel A, Whitaker K, Wuyts S. Nelson E, et al.

This is similar to the stellar velocity dispersions of the putative descendants of GOODS-N-774, which are compact quiescent galaxies at z 2 (refs 8-11) and giant elliptical galaxies in the nearby Universe. Galaxies such as GOODS-N-774 seem to be …

The gravitationally unstable gas disk of a starburst galaxy 12 billion years ago.
Tadaki K, Iono D, Yun MS, Aretxaga I, Hatsukade B, Hughes DH, Ikarashi S, Izumi T, Kawabe R, Kohno K, Lee M, Matsuda Y, Nakanishi K, Saito T, Tamura Y, Ueda J, Umehata H, Wilson GW, Michiyama T, Ando M, Kamieneski P. Tadaki K, et al. Nature. 2018 Aug;560(7720):613-616. doi: 10.1038/s41586-018-0443-1. Epub 2018 Aug 29. Nature. 2018. PMID: 30158605
Galaxies in the early Universe that are bright at submillimetre wavelengths (submillimetre-bright galaxies) are forming stars at a rate roughly 1,000 times higher than the Milky Way. A large fraction of the new stars form in the central kiloparsec of the galaxy …

A black hole in a globular cluster.
Maccarone TJ, Kundu A, Zepf SE, Rhode KL. Maccarone TJ, et al. Nature. 2007 Jan 11;445(7124):183-5. doi: 10.1038/nature05434. Epub 2007 Jan 3. Nature. 2007. PMID: 17203062
Here we report the X-ray signature of an accreting black hole in a globular cluster associated with the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472 (in the Virgo cluster). This object has an X-ray luminosity of about 4 x 10(39) erg s(-1), which rules out any object othe …

Discovery of a new gravitational lens system.
Lawrence CR, Schneider DP, Schmidt M, Bennett CL, Hewitt JN, Burke BF, Turner EL, Gunn JE. Lawrence CR, et al. Science. 1984 Jan 6;223(4631):46-9. doi: 10.1126/science.223.4631.46. Science. 1984. PMID: 17752987
The redshift of a 23rd-magnitude extended optical object coincident with the third radio component has not been determined spectroscopically, but its known optical properties are consistent with those of a giant elliptical galaxy with a redshift of about 0.8. …

Evidence for Stellar Streaming in the Cores of Elliptical Galaxies: A Kinematic Signature of Mergers?
Pierce MJ, Berrington RC. Pierce MJ, et al. Astrophys J. 2000 Mar 10;531(2):L99-L101. doi: 10.1086/312532. Astrophys J. 2000. PMID: 10688762
Similar features are found in the single-fiber spectra of the luminous elliptical galaxies in the Coma Cluster, suggesting that they are ubiquitous in giant elliptical galaxies. Interestingly, only the most luminous elliptical galaxies …

Blood out of a stone.
Blandford RD. Blandford RD. Science. 2002 Mar 1;295(5560):1653-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1070255. Science. 2002. PMID: 11872823
Almost 50 years ago, astronomers provided evidence for powerful radio emissions localized in two giant "lobes" on opposite sides of elliptical galaxies. These lobes are now known to be powered by jets emanating from black holes at the centers of the galaxi …

Magnetic support of the optical emission line filaments in NGC 1275.
Fabian AC, Johnstone RM, Sanders JS, Conselice CJ, Crawford CS, Gallagher JS 3rd, Zweibel E. Fabian AC, et al. Nature. 2008 Aug 21;454(7207):968-70. doi: 10.1038/nature07169. Nature. 2008. PMID: 18719583
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1275, at the centre of the Perseus cluster, is surrounded by a well-known giant nebulosity of emission-line filaments, which are plausibly in excess of 10(8) years old. The filaments are dragged out from the centre of th …
