SPIDER II - The Fundamental Plane of Early-type Galaxies in grizYJHK

F. La Barbera, R. R. de Carvalho, I. G. de la Rosa +1

We present a complete analysis of the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby universe. The sample, as defined in paper I, comprises 39,993 ETGs located in en…

The Origin of Color Gradients in Early-Type Systems and Their Compactness at High-z

La Barbera, F., de Carvalho +1

In this Letter, we present mean optical+NIR color gradient estimates for 5080 early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the grizYJHK wavebands of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) plus UKIRT…

Sersic galaxy with Sersic halo models of early-type galaxies: a tool for N-body simulations

G. Coppola, F. La Barbera, M. Capaccioli

We present spherical, non-rotating, isotropic models of early-type galaxies with stellar and dark-matter components both described by deprojected Sersic density profiles, and prove…

On the origin of the scatter around the Fundamental Plane: correlations with stellar population parameters

A. Gargiulo, C. P. Haines, P. Merluzzi +6

We present a fundamental plane (FP) analysis of 141 early-type galaxies in the Shapley supercluster at z=0.049 based on spectroscopy from the AAOmega spectrograph at the AAT and ph…
