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…

Understanding the Structural Scaling Relations of Early-Type Galaxies
Lauren A. Porter, Rachel S. Somerville, Joel R. Primack +1
We use a large suite of hydrodynamical simulations of binary galaxy mergers to construct and calibrate a physical prescription for computing the effective radii and velocity disper…
