0 The Fundamental Plane of Gravitational Lens Galaxies and The Evolution of Early - Type Galaxies in Low Density Environments
Most gravitational lenses are early-type galaxies in relatively low density environments – a " field " rather than a " cluster " population. Their average properties are the mass-averaged properties of all early-type galaxies. We show that field early-type galaxies with 0 < z < 1, as represented by the lens galaxies, lie on the same fundamental plane as those in rich clusters at similar redshif...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Plane in CL 0024 at z = 0 : 4 : Implications for the Evolution of the Mass - to - Light Ratio ?
We present results on the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies in the rich cluster CL 0024 + 16 at z=0.391. The internal velocity dispersions of the galaxies have been measured from a 19 hour integration at the MMT. The photometric parameters of the galaxies have been measured from deep HST images. The galaxies satisfy a tight Fundamental Plane relation which is similar to that at low redsh...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Early-type Galaxies in Distant Clusters Iii.: M/lv Ratios in The
Using Keck spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 imaging over a 1.5h−1 × 1.5h−1 Mpc2 field of the cluster, a new, large sample of 53 galaxies in the cluster CL1358+62 at z = 0.33 is used to study the evolution of early-type galaxies in the cluster environment. We have constructed the Fundamental Plane using 30 E and S0 galaxies and draw the following conclusions. The Fundamental Plane a...
متن کاملThe Evolution of a Mass-Selected Sample of Early-Type Field Galaxies
We investigate the evolution of mass-selected early-type field galaxies using a sample of 29 gravitational lenses spanning the redshift range 0 . z . 1. Based on the redshiftdependent intercept of the fundamental plane in the rest frame B band, we measure an evolution rate of d log(M/L)B/dz = −0.55 ± 0.04 (all errors are 1σ unless noted) if we directly compare to the local intercept measured fr...
متن کاملEvolution of Early-Type Galaxies in Distant Clusters: The Fundamental Plane using HST Imaging and Keck Spectroscopy
We present new results on the Fundamental Plane of galaxies in two rich clusters, Cl1358+62 at z = 0.33 and MS2053–04 at z = 0.58, based on Keck and HST observations. Our new data triple the sample of galaxies with measured Fundamental Plane parameters at intermediate redshift. The early-type galaxies in these clusters define very clear Fundamental Plane relations, confirming an earlier result ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Field Early - Type Galaxies to Z ∼ 0
We have measured the Fundamental Plane (FP) parameters for a sample of 30 field early-type galaxies (E/S0) in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.66. We find that: i) the FP is defined and tight out to the highest redshift bin; ii) the intercept γ evolves as dγ/dz = 0.58 −0.13 (for Ω = 0.3,ΩΛ = 0.7), or, in terms of average effective mass to light ratio, as d log(M/LB)/dz = −0.72 +0.11 −0.16, i. e. ...
