Evolution of the fundamental plane of 0.2 < z < 1.2 early-type galaxies in the EGS

Scritto in Pubblicazioni

Context. The fundamental plane links the structural properties of
early-type galaxies such as its surface brightness and effective radius
with its dynamics. The study of the fundamental plane evolution
therefore has important implications for models of galaxy formation and
evolution. <BR /> Aims: This work aims to identify signs of evolution of
early-type galaxies through the study of parameter correlations such as
the fundamental plane, the Kormendy, and the Faber-Jackson relations,
using a sample of 135 field galaxies extracted from the Extended Groth
Strip in the redshift range 0.2…
