The kinematically peculiar cores of the Coma cluster early -- type galaxies NGC 4816 and IC 4051
Doerte Mehlert, Roberto P. Saglia, Ralf Bender +1
The Coma cluster is one of the richest known cluster of galaxies, spanning about 4 dex in density. Hence it is the ideal place to study the structure of galaxies as a function of e…
Luminous Cluster Ellipticals as Cosmological Standard Rods?
R. Bender, R. P. Saglia, B. Ziegler +2
We explore the possibility to calibrate massive cluster ellipticals as cosmological standard rods. The method is based on the Fundamental Plane relation combined with a correction…
M32-like galaxies: still very rare -- M32 analogues do not exist in the Leo group
Bodo L. Ziegler, Ralf Bender
New observations of galaxies in the direction of the Leo group, which were classified as being candidates for M32-like dwarf galaxies by Ferguson & Sandage (1990), show that these…
Spectroscopic Gradients in Early -- Type Galaxies and Implications on Galaxy Formation
Dörte Mehlert, Ralf Bender, Roberto P. Saglia +1
The Coma cluster is the ideal place to study galaxy structure as a function of environmental density in order to constrain theories of galaxy formation and evolution. Here we prese…
