Galaxy-galaxy lensing is an essential tool for probing dark matter halos and constraining cosmological parameters. While galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements usually rely on shear, weak-lensing magnification contains additional constraining…
We present a fundamental plane (FP) analysis of 141 early-type galaxies in the Shapley supercluster at z=0.049 based on spectroscopy from the AAOmega spectrograph at the AAT and photometry from the WFI on the ESO/MPI 2.2m telescope. The key…

We determine the near-infrared Fundamental Plane (FP) for $\sim10^4$ early-type galaxies in the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). We fit the distribution of central velocity dispersion, near-infrared surface brightness and half-light radius with a…
Residuals between measured galactic radii and those predicted by the Fundamental Plane (FP) are possible tracers of weak lensing magnification. However, observations have shown these to be systematically correlated with the large-scale…

Context: Using the Illustris-1 and IllustrisTNG-100 simulations we investigate the properties of the Fundamental Plane (FP), that is the correlation between the effective radius Re, the effective surface intensity Ie and the central stellar…
Three observables of early-type galaxies - size ($r_{e}$), surface brightness ($I_{e}$), and velocity dispersion ($\sigma_{0}$) - form a tight planar correlation known as the fundamental plane (FP), which has provided great insights into…
The globular clusters (GC) of our Galaxy have been found to lie close to a plane in the log(R_e), log(sigma), SB_e space, on the continuation of the Fundamental Plane (FP) known to characterize the properties of early-type galaxies. We…
This work is a continuation of the work of Kopylova and Kopylov (2016) to build a fundamental plane (FP) of groups and clusters of galaxies -- here a sample of galaxies systems is increased from 94 to 172 objects. We have studied the ratios…
The present study deals with the problem of deriving the coefficients of the fundamental plane (FP) of early-type galaxies. We introduce statistical models of the FP and relative fitting methods: the MIST (Measurement errors and Intrinsic…
We show that it is possible to define a purely Photometric Fundamental Plane (PFP) for early-type galaxies. This relation is similar to the standard Fundamental Plane (FP), and is obtained by replacing the velocity dispersion parameter with…
