Several recent studies used the hot gas fraction of galaxy clusters as a standard ruler to constrain dark energy, which provides competitive results compared to other techniques. This method, however, relies on the assumption that the…

Current observational results show that both late-and-early-type galaxies follow tight mass-size planes, on which physical properties such as age, velocity dispersion and metallicities correlate with the scatter on the plane. We study the…
