The distribution of early-type galaxy velocity dispersions, phi(sigma), is measured using a sample drawn from the SDSS database. Its shape differs significantly from that which one obtains by simply using the mean correlation between luminosity, L, and velocity dispersion, sigma, to transform the luminosity function into a velocity function: ignoring the scatter around the mean sigma-L relation is a bad approximation. An estimate of the contribution from late-type galaxies is also made, which suggests that phi(sigma) is dominated by early-type galaxies at velocities larger than ~ 200 km/s.

  1. Prospect of Measuring the Cosmic Dipole by Associating Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves with Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Simulations for Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer forecast that decade-scale samples of strongly lensed GWs can constrain the cosmic dipole magnitude at the few×10^{-3} level when combined with multi-image events.

  2. Forecasting Constraints on Cosmology and Modified Gravitational-wave Propagation by Combining Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves and Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated doubly lensed gravitational-wave events matched to galaxy surveys give a forecasted H0 precision of 0.42% with next-generation detectors.

  3. Prospect for Detection of Strongly Lensed Multi-messenger Signals of Binary Neutron Star Mergers

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Future CE+ET detectors may detect lensed BNS kilonovae at ~0.5/yr via pointed follow-up of known galaxy lenses, while lensed sGRBs and afterglows remain rare or undetectable with current-generation facilities.

  4. Precision Joint Constraints on Cosmology and Gravity Using Strongly Lensed Gravitational Wave Populations

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A forecast from simulated strongly lensed gravitational wave data finds that Einstein Telescope could constrain H0 to 0.4-0.7% and PPN gamma to 0.5-3.3% (68% CI) under idealized assumptions.

  5. Investigating the Spectral Properties of Dual Nuclei in Galaxy Mergers from the GOTHIC survey: Supermassive Black Hole Growth, metal enrichment and Dual AGN

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Spectroscopic analysis of dual nuclei shows SMBH masses higher in galaxy mergers than single nuclei at fixed stellar mass.
