    Diffuse dust in elliptical galaxies 
    Savoy, Jonathan (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2007)
    It is well established that the broadband colors of elliptical galaxies become redder near their centres, which provides an important constraint on models of elliptical galaxy formation. The observed radial color gradients ...

    Numerical simulations of the extragalactic jet in M87 
    Casey, Michael Patrick (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 1996)
    Observations of the jet in M87 and its surroundings are used to constrain hydrodynamical calculations of this object. These constraints include atmospheric profiles of the gas surrounding M87, the observed point of ...

    Photometric decomposition of NGC 6166 
    Blake, Ronald Melvin (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 1996)
    We have used CFHT observations in Cousins B and R to probe the structure of the supergiant elliptical galaxy NGC 6166 in Abell 2199. We utilize the isophotal and aperture photometry of nuclei B and C to search for evidence ...

    Surface photometry of the Shell Galaxy NGC 2865 
    Wing, David Lee (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 1990)
    This thesis presents independently calibrated CCD surface photometry derived from 12 images of the shell galaxy NGC 2865 in the B, V, and R passbands. Short exposures were used to permit accurate sky subtraction. Mean ...
