چکیده
To appear in the proceedings of the 3rd ESO-VLT Workshop " Galaxy Scaling Relations " , eds. Abstract. We present preliminary results regarding the Fundamental Plane (FP) for galaxies in the two rich clusters Abell 665 and Abell 2218. Both clusters have a redshift of 0.18. We have compared the FP for A665 and A2218, and for the cluster CL0024+16 at z=0.39, with the FP for the Coma cluster. The scatter around the FP is similar for all four clusters. There may be indications that the slope of the FP is more shallow for the intermediate redshift clusters than for the Coma cluster. More complete samples of galaxies in intermediate redshift clusters are needed to map in detail the possible change of the slope as function of redshift. The mass-to-light (M/L) ratio as measured by the FP changes with redshift. At z=0.18 the M/L ratio (in Gunn r) is 16 ± 9% smaller than for the Coma cluster. Together with earlier results reported for CL0024+16 this implies that the M/L ratio changes with redshift as ∆ log M/Lr ∼ −0.4∆z. The results presented here are in agreement with passive evolution of a stellar population, which formed at a redshift larger than one. However, the possible presence of more recent bursts of star formation complicates the interpretation of the data.

We present results of the hosts of four high-redshift (z ≈ 2) and high luminosity (MB ∼ −28 mag) QSOs, three radio-quiet one radio-loud, imaged in R and K bands. The extensions to the nuclear unresolved source are most likely due to the hosts galaxies of these QSOs, with luminosities at rest-frame 2300Å of at least 3−7 per cent of the QSO luminosity, and most likely around 6−18 per cent of the ...

In a gravitationally unstable universe, the structure of dark matter and galaxies, intergalactic gas and magnetic field can have severe impact on the propagation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR). The possible effects include spatial confinement and directional focusing along the supergalactic matter sheets, as well as universal re-acceleration at large scale shock fronts, and spectral m...

A recalibration of the luminosity–linewidth technique is discussed which introduces (i) new cluster calibration data, (ii) new corrections for reddening as a function of inclination, and (iii) a new zero-point calibration using 13 galaxies with distances determined via the cepheid period– luminosity method. It is found that H 0 = 82 ± 16 km s −1 Mpc −1 (95% confidence).
