Major progress has been achieved in recent years in map** the properties of passively-
evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift∼ 2. Here …

We present an evolutionary model for starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies in which
mergers between gas-rich galaxies drive nuclear inflows of gas, producing starbursts and …

We investigate the well-known correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio (M/L)
and other global observables of elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies. We construct two …

The environment is known to affect the formation and evolution of galaxies considerably best
visible through the well-known morphology–density relationship. It is less clear, though …

Using the combined capabilities of the large near-infrared Palomar/DEEP-2 survey, and the
superb resolution of the Advanced Camera for Surveys HST camera, we explore the size …

We analyze 40 cosmological re-simulations of individual massive galaxies with present-day
stellar masses of M*> 6.3× 10 10 M☉ in order to investigate the physical origin of the …

We review the properties of the established Scaling Relations (SRs) of galaxies and active
galactic nuclei (AGN), focusing on their origin and expected evolution back in time, providing …

Aims. The aim of this work is to investigate the physical, structural and evolutionary
properties of old, passive galaxies at and to place new constraints on massive galaxy …

We present a weak-lensing analysis of 22 early-type (strong) lens galaxies, based on deep
HST images obtained as part of the Sloan Lens ACS Survey. Using advanced techniques to …

The photometric redshift distributions, spectral types, Sérsic indices, and sizes of all resolved
galaxies in the Hubble Space Telescope Ultra Deep Field (UDF) are studied in order to …
