Sizes and ages of SDSS ellipticals: Comparison with hierarchical galaxy formation models

Francesco Shankar, Federico Marulli, Mariangela Bernardi +3

In a sample of about 45,700 early-type galaxies extracted from SDSS, we find that the shape, normalization, and dispersion around the mean size-stellar mass relation is the same fo…

Colour Gradients and the Colour-Magnitude Relation: Different Properties of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and E/S0 Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Nathan Roche, Mariangela Bernardi, Joseph Hyde

We examine the colour-magnitude relation of approximately 5000 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and compare with non-BCG E/S0 galaxies. The colour…

Galaxy luminosities, stellar masses, sizes, velocity dispersions as a function of morphological type

M. Bernardi, F. Shankar, J. B. Hyde +3

We provide fits to the distribution of galaxy luminosity, size, velocity dispersion and stellar mass as a function of concentration index C_r and morphological type in the SDSS. We…

Spectral-based k-corrections and implications for the colour-magnitude relation of E/S0s and its evolution

Nathan Roche, Mariangela Bernardi, Joseph Hyde

We select a sample of 70378 E/S0 (early-type) galaxies at 0<z<0.36 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, excluding disk and star-forming galaxies. We estimate g and r magnitudes in th…

The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

K. Abazajian

This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…

The luminosity and stellar mass Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies

J. B. Hyde, M. Bernardi

From a sample of ~50000 early-type galaxies from the SDSS, we measured the traditional Fundamental Plane in four bands. We then replaced luminosity with stellar mass, and measured…
