Early - type Galaxies in the Cluster Abell 2390 at z = 0 . 23
نویسنده
چکیده
To examine the evolution of the early-type galaxy population in the rich cluster Abell 2390 at z = 0.23 we have gained spectroscopic data of 51 elliptical and lenticular galaxies with MOSCA at the 3.5 m telescope on Calar Alto Observatory. This investigation spans both a broad range in luminosity (−19.3 ≥ MB ≥ −22.3) and uses a wide field of view of 10×10, therefore the environmental dependence of different formation scenarios can be analysed in detail as a function of radius from the cluster centre. Here we present results on the surface brightness modelling of galaxies where morphological and structural information is available in the F814W filter aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and investigate for this subsample the evolution of the Fundamental Plane.

Photometry of Abell 2390
We present the results of a search for strong Hα emission line galaxies (rest frame equivalent widths greater than 50Å) in the z ≈ 0.23 cluster Abell 2390. The survey contains 1189 galaxies over 270 ⊓⊔′, and is 50% complete at Mr ≈ −17.5 + 5 log h. The fraction of galaxies in which Hα is detected at the 2σ level rises from 0.0 in the central regions (excluding the cD galaxy) to 12.5±8% at R200....
متن کاملEvolution of Galactic Disks in Clusters and the Eld at 0:1 < Z < 0:6 in the Cnoc Survey
Two-dimensional surface photometry is presented for a sample of 351 late-type galaxies with 0:12 < z < 0:65. These objects are drawn from the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC) cluster survey and are either spectroscopically con-rmed members of clusters at z = 0:23 (64 galaxies), 0:43 (45), and 0:55 (36) or eld galaxies with similar redshifts. Galaxies in the rich cluster Abell...
متن کاملA Tolman Surface Brightness Test for Universal Expansion, and the Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies in Distant Clusters 1;2 on Leave of Absence from Observatt Orio Nacional -cnpq -daf, Brasil
We use the intercept of the elliptical galaxy radius{surface brightness (SB) relation at a xed metric radius as the standard condition for the Tolman SB test of the universal expansion. We use surface photometry in the optical and near-IR of elliptical galaxies in Abell 2390 (z = 0:23) and Abell 851 (z = 0:41), and compare them to the Coma cluster at z 0. The photometric data for each cluster a...
متن کاملResolving the Stellar Populations in a Z = 4 Lensed Galaxy Based in Large Part on Observations Made at the W. M. Keck Observatory
We present deep near-infrared Keck/NIRC imaging of a recently-discovered z = 4.04 galaxy (Frye & Broadhurst 1998). This is lensed by the rich foreground cluster Abell 2390 (z ≈ 0.23) into highlymagnified arcs 3–5 in length. OurHand K -band NIRC imaging allows us to map the Balmer+ 4000 Å break amplitude. In combination with high-quality archival HST/WFPC2 data, we can spatially resolve stellar ...
متن کاملSignatures of Galaxy - Cluster Interactions : Tully - Fisher Observations at z ∼ 0 . 1
We have obtained new optical imaging and spectroscopic observations of 78 galaxies in the fields of the rich clusters Abell 1413 (z = 0.14), Abell 2218 (z = 0.18) and Abell 2670 (z = 0.08). We have detected line emission from 25 cluster galaxies plus an additional six galaxies in the foreground and background, a much lower success rate than what was found (65%) for a sample of 52 lower-richness...
