The Evolution of a Mass-Selected Sample of Early-Type Field Galaxies
D. Rusin, C. S. Kochanek, E. E. Falco +7
We investigate the evolution of mass-selected early-type field galaxies using a sample of 28 gravitational lenses spanning the redshift range 0 < z < 1. Based on the redshift-depen…

Detailed Structural Decomposition of Galaxy Images
Chien Y. Peng, Luis C. Ho, Chris D. Impey +1
We present a two-dimensional (2-D) fitting algorithm (GALFIT) designed to extract structural components from galaxy images, with emphasis on closely modeling light profiles of spat…
