The Fundamental Plane of Early Type Galaxies in Nearby Clusters from the WINGS Database
M. D'Onofrio, G. Fasano, J. Varela +10
By exploting the data of three large surveys (WINGS, NFPS and SDSS), we present here a comparative analysis of the Fundamental Plane (FP hereafter) of the early-type galaxies (ETGs…
A spectrophotometric model applied to cluster galaxies: the WINGS dataset
J. Fritz, B. M. Poggianti, D. Bettoni +8
[Abridged] The WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS) is a project aiming at the study of the galaxy populations in clusters in the local universe (0.04<z<0.07) and the in…
Substructures in WINGS clusters
M. Ramella, A. Biviano, A. Pisani +10
We search for and characterize substructures in the projected distribution of galaxies observed in the wide field CCD images of the 77 nearby clusters of the WIde-field Nearby Gala…
A Wide-field Hubble Space Telescope Survey of the Cluster Cl 0024+16 at z=0.4. III: Spectroscopic Signatures of Environmental Evolution in Early Type Galaxies
Sean M. Moran, Richard S. Ellis, Tommaso Treu +4
We report results from a panoramic spectroscopic survey of 955 objects in the field of the rich cluster Cl 0024+1654 (z~0.4), complementing the HST imaging presented in the first p…
The Afterglows, Redshifts, and Properties of Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, S. R. Kulkarni, D. B. Fox +29
We present optical, near-IR, and radio follow up of sixteen Swift bursts, including our discovery of nine afterglows and a redshift determination for three. These observations, sup…
New Constraints on the Luminosity Evolution of Spheroidal Galaxies in Distant Clusters
A. J. Barger, A. Aragon-Salamanca, I. Smail +6
We investigate various probes of luminosity evolution in the rich cluster environment, concentrating in particular on the spheroidal (E/S0) galaxies, using a newly-constructed cata…
Time Dilation in the Light Curve of the Distant Type Ia Supernovae SN 1995K
B. Leibundgut
The light curve of a distant Type Ia supernova acts like a clock that can be used to test the expansion of the Universe. SN~1995K, at a spectroscopic redshift of , provi…
The Optical Redshift Survey: Sample Selection and the Galaxy Distribution
B. X. Santiago, M. A. Strauss, O. Lahav +3
This is the first in a series of papers describing the {\it Optical Redshift Survey} (ORS), a redshift survey of optically selected galaxies covering 98\% of the sky above $|b| = 2…
