Studying 3 samples of early-type galaxies, which include approximately 8800 galaxies and cover a relatively ample magnitude range ($<\Delta M>$ $\sim 5$ $mag$), we find that the coefficients as well as the intrinsic dispersion of the…
The wavelength dependence of the Kormendy relation (KR) is well characterised at low redshift but poorly studied at intermediate redshifts. The KR provides information on the evolution of the population of early-type galaxies (ETGs).…
We study a sample of 936 early-type galaxies located in 48 low-z regular galaxy clusters with $M_{200}\geq 10^{14}~ M_\odot$ at $z< 0.1$. We examine variations in the Kormendy relation (KR) according to their location in the projected phase…
We present the Kormendy and mass-size relations for early-type galaxies (ETGs) as a function of environment at z~1.3. Our sample includes 76 visually classified ETGs with masses 10^10 < M/Msun < 10^11.5, selected in the Lynx supercluster…
Galaxy scaling relations encode key information about the structural, dynamical, and mass assembly histories of galaxies, and provide constraints on galaxy formation models as well as the onset of galaxy assembly. While these relations are…
We study the evolution of the relation between half-light (effective) radius, r_e, and mean surface brightness, mi_e, known as Kormendy relation, out to redshift z=0.64 in V-band restframe on the basis of a large sample of spheroidal…
We take a sample of early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7, $\sim$ 90 000 galaxies) spanning a range of approximately 7 $mag$ in both $g$ and $r$ filters and analyse the behaviour of the Faber-Jackson relation…
We study the Photometric Plane (PHP), namely the relation between the effective radius re, the mean surface brightness within that radius <mi>e, and the Sersic index n, in optical (R and I) and near-infrared (K) bands for a large sample of…
We present a complete analysis of the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby universe. The sample, as defined in paper I, comprises 39,993 ETGs located in environments covering the entire domain in local density (from…
The sizes of galaxies are known to be closely related with their masses, luminosities, redshifts and morphologies. However, when we fix these quantities and morphology, we still find large dispersions in the galaxy size distribution. We…
We present the morphological analysis based on HST-NIC2 (0.075 arcsec/pixel) images in the F160W filter of a sample of 9 massive field (> 10^{11} M_\odot) galaxies spectroscopically classified as early-types at 1.2<z<1.7. Our analysis shows…
We analyse the Kormendy relations (KRs) of the two Frontier Fields clusters, Abell S1063, at z = 0.348, and MACS J1149.5+2223, at z = 0.542, exploiting very deep Hubble Space Telescope photometry and VLT/MUSE integral field spectroscopy.…
Aims. Recently it has been reported that the intrinsic dispersion at constant magnitude of the structural relations from early-type galaxies is a useful tool to study the universality of these structural relations, that is to say, to study…
We investigate the evolution of early-type galaxies in four clusters at z=0.4 (Abell370, Cl0303+17, Cl0939+47 and Cl1447+26) and in one at z=0.55 (Cl0016+16). The galaxies are selected according to their spectrophotometrically determined…
Early-type galaxies (ETGs) are supposed to follow the virial relation $M = k_e \sigma_*^2 R_e / G$, with $M$ being the mass, $\sigma_*$ being the stellar velocity dispersion, $R_e$ being the effective radius, $G$ being Newton's constant,…
In this paper we carry out a preliminary study of the dependence of the Tully-Fisher Relation (TFR) with the width and intensity level of the absolute magnitude interval of a limited sample of 2411 galaxies taken from Mathewson \& Ford…
The Fundamental Plane relates the structural properties of early-type galaxies such as its surface brightness and effective radius with its dynamics. The study of its evolution has therefore important implications for models of galaxy…
We investigate the scatter in the fundamental plane (FP) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) and its dependence on age and internal structure of ETGs, using $16,283$ ETGs with $M_r\le-19.5$ and $0.025\le z<0.055$ in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data.…
We have re-examined the two X-ray scaling relations of early-type galaxies (ETGs), Lx - LK and Lx - T, using 61 ATLAS3D E and S0 galaxies observed with Chandra. The larger sample allows us to investigate the effect of structural and…
Following from our recent work, we present here a detailed structural analysis of a representative sample of nearby spiral and early-type galaxies taken from the KINGFISH/ SINGS survey. The photometric parameters of bulges are obtained from…
