The evolution of early-type galaxies in clusters from z~ 0.8 to z~ 0: the ellipticity distribution and the morphological mix
Benedetta Vulcani, Bianca M. Poggianti, Alan Dressler +10
We present the ellipticity distribution and its evolution for early-type galaxies in clusters from z~0.8 to z~0, based on the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS)(0.04<z…
Galaxy stellar mass functions of different morphological types in clusters, and their evolution between z=0.8 and z=0
Benedetta Vulcani, Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +11
We present the galaxy stellar mass function (MF) and its evolution in clusters from z~0.8 to the current epoch, based on the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS) (0.04<z…
On the connection between shape and stellar population in early-type galaxies
M. D'Onofrio, T. Valentinuzzi, G. Fasano +11
We report on the discovery of a relation between the stellar mass of early-type galaxies (hereafter ETGs), their shape, as parametrized by the Sersic index , and their ste…
Superdense massive galaxies in the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS)
T. Valentinuzzi, B. M. Poggianti, R. P. Saglia +9
We find a significant number of massive and compact galaxies in clusters from the ESO Distant Clusters Survey (EDisCS) at 0.4<z<1. They have similar stellar masses, ages, sizes and…
A decline and fall in the future of Italian Astronomy?
Angelo Antonelli, Vincenzo Antonuccio-Delogu, Andrea Baruffolo +89
On May 27th 2010, the Italian astronomical community learned with concern that the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) was going to be suppressed, and that its employees wer…
