Abundance gradient slopes versus mass in spheroids: predictions by monolithic models

A. Pipino, A. D'Ercole, C. Chiappini +1

We investigate whether it is possible to explain the wide range of observed gradients in early type galaxies in the framework of monolithic models. To do so, we extend the set of h…

Signature of cool cores in SZ clusters: a multiwavelength approach

A. Pipino, E. Pierpaoli

We use the high quality pressure profiles of 239 galaxy clusters made available by the ACCEPT project (Cavagnolo et al. 2009) in order to derive the expected Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ)…

The Mass-Metallicity relation in galaxies of different morphological types

F. Calura, A. Pipino, C. Chiappini +4

By means of chemical evolution models of different morphological types, we study the mass-metallicity (MZ) relation and its evolution with redshift. Our aim is to understand the ro…

On the survival of metallicity gradients to major dry-mergers

P. Di Matteo, A. Pipino, M. D. Lehnert +2

Using a large suite of galaxies with a variety of concentrations and metallicity gradients, we study the evolution of non-dissipative ("dry") equal mass mergers. Our purpose in gen…

GalICS II: the [alpha/Fe]-mass relation in elliptical galaxies

A. Pipino, J. E. G. Devriendt, D. Thomas +2

We aim at reproducing the mass- and sigma-[alpha/Fe] relations in the stellar populations of early-type galaxies by means of a cosmologically motivated assembly history for the sph…
