Structure, Properties and Formation Histories of S0s

My main area of research is the morphology of nearby galaxies. In particular, I am working on S0 or lenticular galaxies. These galaxies occupy a a very conspicious position on the Hubble tuning fork diagram viz. at the junction of the “tuning fork”. This position can be interpreted as implying S0s to be an intermediate transition class. But recent studies have shown that there are sub-populations within S0 galaxies with vastly different properties and formation histories. The investigation of the properties of S0s has also been the central work of my PhD thesis. A soft copy of my thesis can be found at this link.

Papers written by me so far on S0 galaxies are as follows -
