Structural properties of pseudo-bulges, classical bulges and elliptical galaxies: a Sloan Digital Sky Survey perspective (2008, methodology): “Bernardi et al. (2003b) used estimates of the velocity dispersion that includes Fourier-fitting results, which, as mentioned above, overestimate the velocity dispersion for low-mass galaxies.”
The Mass Function of Active Black Holes in the Local Universe (2007, background): “…velocity dispersions (whether they be inactive [Yu & Tremaine 2002] or narrow-line active galaxies [Heckman et al. 2004]) are necessarily limited to the current spectral resolution limits oflargearea spectroscopic surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; e.g., Bernardi et al. 2003).”
Local supermassive black holes, relics of active galactic nuclei and the X-ray background (2003, methodology): “It occurs in a region where the luminosity functions of early type galaxies are extrapolated and is due to the different functional forms adopted to fit the data (gaussian for Bernardi et al. (2003b), Schechter functions for the others).”
Galaxy Zoo: the properties of merging galaxies in the nearby Universe – local environments, colours, masses, star formation rates and AGN activity (2009, background): “Prior to this, largescale studies of morphology from surveys like SDSS required the use of proxies in place of actual morphology (e.g. as in Bernardi et al. 2003), but this then biased what their spectro-photometric characteristics actually are (Schawinski et al. 2007a).”
Early-type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. II. Correlations between Observables (2003, methodology): “This is consistent with the model we use to make K-corrections in Paper I and is also consistent with the formation time estimates based on the fundamental plane in Paper III and galaxy colors and spectral line indexes in Paper IV.”
A LARGE SYSTEMATIC SEARCH FOR CLOSE SUPERMASSIVE BINARY AND RAPIDLY RECOILING BLACK HOLES (2011, unknown): “…determined by integrating the observed line profile, while the widths were determined by fitting a Gaussian to the line profile and then correcting the FWHM for the finite resolution of the spectrograph at the observed wavelength of the line (see Appendix B and Figure 16 of Bernardi et al. 2003).”
SPIDER VIII - constraints on the stellar initial mass function of early-type galaxies from a variety of spectral features (2013, methodology): “Following Bernardi et al. (2003b), we have defined ETGs as bulgedominated systems (i.e. SDSS attribute fracDevr > 0.8, where fracDevr measures the fraction of galaxy light better fitted by a de Vaucouleurs, rather than an exponential, law), featuring passive spectra within the SDSS fibres (SDSS…”
Galaxy Evolution Explorer Ultraviolet Color-Magnitude Relations and Evidence of Recent Star Formation in Early-Type Galaxies (2004, unknown): “In order to construct a sample unbiased by any specific search criterion, we search for GALEX detections of galaxies already classified as being early-type by one of the major SDSS studies (Bernardi et al. 2003a).”
Galaxy Zoo: the fraction of merging galaxies in the SDSS and their morphologies (2009, background): “They found a significant blue-population that had been excluded by studies such as Bernardi et al. (2003) which identified ellipticals by their presumed properties.”
Evolutionary stellar population synthesis with MILES – I. The base models and a new line index system (2010, background): “• 200 kms−1 is roughly the mean velocity dispersion for the early-type galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Bernardi et al. 2003a,b,c).”
RED NUGGETS AT z ∼ 1.5: COMPACT PASSIVE GALAXIES AND THE FORMATION OF THE KORMENDY RELATION (2008, methodology): “Figure 4 includes the corresponding distribution for present-day early-type galaxies from the SDSS (Bernardi et al. 2003).”
The Velocity Dispersion Function of Early-Type Galaxies (2003, methodology): “The weak link in the procedure above is the assumption that the distribution around the mean σ − L relation is Gaussian (although the analysis in Bernardi et al. (2003b) suggests this should be reasonably accurate) with rms given by equation 3.”
Present-Day Growth of Black Holes and Bulges: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Perspective (2004, methodology): “We do not apply any aperture corrections to the stellar velocity dispersions, because such corrections are small in early-type galaxies in the SDSS (Bernardi et al. 2003).”
The 2df SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the luminosity function of luminous red galaxies to z= 0.6 (2006, background): “…surveys of field galaxies over a range of redshifts (Bernardi et al. 1998; Kuntschner & Davies 1998; Trager et al. 2000; Hogg et al. 2002; Bernardi et al. 2003a, 2003b,c,d; Baldry et al. 2004; Cimatti et al. 2004; Glazebrook et al. 2004; McCarthy et al. 2004; Papovich et al. 2005; Thomas…”
Ages and metallicities of early-type galaxies in the SDSS: new insight into the physical origin of the colour-magnitude and the Mg2-sigmaV relations (2006, result): “This has a slope of 0.25±0.01, i.e. very close to that found by Bernardi et al. (2003d) for a sample of co-added, high-quality spectra of SDSS early-type galaxies (see also Guzman et al. 1992; Colless et al. 1999).”
Colors, Magnitudes, and Velocity Dispersions in Early-Type Galaxies: Implications for Galaxy Ages and Metallicities (2004, methodology): “Specifically, because we k-correct following the procedure described in Bernardi et al. (2003a), all galaxies at the same redshift are assigned the same k-correction.”
The Effect of Environment on the Ultraviolet Color-Magnitude Relation of Early-Type Galaxies (2006, background): “In their analysis, Bernardi et al. (2003b) also find little dependence of the color-sigma relation on environment.”
Curvature in the scaling relations of early-type galaxies (2008, methodology): “See Hyde & Bernardi (2008) for further discussion of the dramatic effects that cuts in σ can have on the Fundamental Plane (also see Bernardi et al. 2003c).”
Early-Type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. IV. Colors and Chemical Evolution (2003, methodology): “As in Papers I, II, and III, galaxies were divided into different bins in local density and then further subdivided by redshift (the local density was estimated using the number of near neighbors in coordinate and color space; see Paper I for details).”
