- The GCs around Andromeda rotate.
- GCs can be “friendless”, meaning they have no neighbors with similar kinematics. In addition they look at various subsamples depending e.g. on metallicity and brightness.

- Simulations on how minor mergers can explain the variation in UV-fluxes of ellipticals.
- They say they cannot “rule out” gas accretion, but I wonder where the dividing line goes between a gas-rich dwarf being eaten and infall of gas.

- Combining gravitational lensing and galaxy dynamics (velocity dispersion as a funciton of radius in ellipticals) as a new and independant (!) method of measuring the geometry of the universe.
- Way cool, if it ever gets on par in accuracy with the other methods.

- Black Hole – bulge mass relation
- They find that the direct accretion of cold gas during starbursts is an important growth mechanism for lower mass black holes and at high redshift. On the other hand, the re-assembly of pre-existing black hole mass into larger units via merging dominates the growth of more massive black holes at low redshift.
- As redshift decreases, progressively less massive black holes have the highest fractional growth rates, in line with recent claims of “downsizing” in quasar activity.
