Evidence of major dry mergers at M* > 2 x 10^11 Msun from curvature in early-type galaxy scaling relations?
M. Bernardi, N. Roche, F. Shankar +1
For early-type galaxies, the correlations between stellar mass and size, velocity dispersion, surface brightness, color, axis ratio and color-gradient all indicate that two mass sc…
Constraints on star-formation driven galaxy winds from the mass-metallicity relation at z=0
Molly S. Peeples, Francesco Shankar
We extend a chemical evolution model relating galaxy stellar mass and gas-phase oxygen abundance (the mass-metallicity relation) to explicitly consider the mass-dependence of galax…
Curvature in the color-magnitude relation but not in color-sigma: Major dry mergers at M* > 2 x 10^11 Msun?
M. Bernardi, N. Roche, F. Shankar +1
The color-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies differs slightly but significantly from a pure power-law, curving downwards at low and upwards at large luminosities (Mr>-20.5 a…
Further constraining galaxy evolution models through the Size Function of SDSS Early-type galaxies
Francesco Shankar, Federico Marulli, Mariangela Bernardi +3
We discuss how the effective radius Phi(Re) function (ERF) recently worked out by Bernardi et al. (2009) represents a new testbed to improve the current understanding of Semi-analy…
