Secular Evolution in Disk Galaxies: Pseudobulge Growth and the Formation of Spheroidal Galaxies
John Kormendy, David B. Fisher
Updating Kormendy & Kennicutt (2004, ARAA, 42, 603), we review internal secular evolution of galaxy disks. One consequence is the growth of pseudobulges that often are mistaken for…
Structure and Formation of Elliptical and Spheroidal Galaxies
John Kormendy, David B. Fisher, Mark E. Cornell +1
New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is added to published data to derive composite profiles over large dynamic ranges. Sersic functions fit…
The Structure of Classical Bulges And Pseudobulges: The Link Between Pseudobulges And Sersic Index
David B. Fisher, Niv Drory
In this paper we study the properties of pseudobulges (bulges that appear similar to disk galaxies) and classical bulges (bulges which appear similar to E-type galaxies) in bulge-d…
A Connection Between Bulge Properties and the Bimodality of Galaxies
Niv Drory, David B. Fisher
The global colors of galaxies have recently been shown to follow bimodal distributions. Galaxies separate into a ``red sequence'', populated prototypically by early-type galaxies,…
Central Star Formation in Pseudobulges and Classical Bulges
David B. Fisher
I use Spitzer 3.6-8.0 μm color profiles to compare the radial structure of star formation in pseudobulges and classical bulges. Pseudobulges are ``bulges'' which form through secul…
Secular Evolution in Disk Galaxies: The Growth of Pseudobulges and Problems for Cold Dark Matter Galaxy Formation
John Kormendy, David B. Fisher
We review internal secular evolution in galaxy disks -- the fundamental process by which isolated disks evolve. We concentrate on the buildup of dense central features that look li…
The Color-Magnitude Relation in CL 1358+62 at z=0.33: Evidence for Significant Evolution in the S0 Population
Pieter G. van Dokkum, Marijn Franx, Daniel D. Kelson +3
We use a large mosaic of HST WFPC2 images to measure the colors and morphologies of 194 spectroscopically confirmed members of the rich galaxy cluster CL1358+62 at z=0.33. We study…
A Spectroscopic Survey of the Galaxy Cluster CL 1358+62 at z=0.328
D. Fisher, D. Fabricant, M. Franx +1
We present a spectroscopic survey of the rich, X-ray selected, galaxy cluster CL 1358+6245 at z=0.328. When our 173 new multi-slit spectra of cluster galaxies are combined with dat…
A Search for Counter-Rotating Stars in S0 Galaxies
Konrad Kuijken, David Fisher, Michael R. Merrifield
We have obtained high signal-to-noise spectra along the major axes of 28 S0 galaxies in order to search for the presence of disk stars on retrograde orbits. Full line-of-sight velo…
