Evidence for (and Against) Progenitor Bias in the Size Growth of Compact Red Galaxies
Stephanie K. Keating, Roberto G. Abraham, Ricardo P. Schiavon +5
Most massive passive galaxies are compact at high redshifts, but similarly compact massive galaxies are rare in the local universe. The most common interpretation of this phenomeno…
Modeling the Ages and Metallicities of Early-Type Galaxies in Fundamental Plane Space
L. A. Porter, R. S. Somerville, J. R. Primack +4
Recent observations have probed the formation histories of nearby elliptical galaxies by tracking correlations between the stellar population parameters, age and metallicity, and t…
Brightest Cluster Galaxies at the Present Epoch
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, Michael A. Strauss +2
We have observed 433 z<=0.08 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a full-sky survey of Abell clusters. The BCG Hubble diagram is consistent to within 2% of a Omega_m=0.3, Lambda=0.…
Early-Type Galaxy Star Formation Histories in Different Environments
Patrick J. Fitzpatrick, Genevieve J. Graves
We use very high-S/N stacked spectra of 29,000 nearby quiescent early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to investigate variations in their star fo…
The Assembly Histories of Quiescent Galaxies Since z=0.7 from Absorption Line Spectroscopy
Jieun Choi, Charlie Conroy, John Moustakas +5
We present results from modeling the optical spectra of a large sample of quiescent galaxies between 0.1 < z < 0.7 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the AGN and Galaxy E…
