Sample of GOODS/CDFS early-type galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We explore the evolution of field early-type galaxies in a sample extracted from the ACS images of the southern GOODS field.

Description

The galaxies are selected by means of a nonparametric analysis, followed by visual inspection of the candidates with a concentrated surface brightness distribution. We furthermore exclude from the final sample those galaxies that are not consistent with an evolution into the Kormendy relation between surface brightness and size that is observed for z=0 ellipticals.

The final set, which comprises 249 galaxies with a median redshift z_m_=0.71, represents a sample of early-type systems not selected with respect to color, with similar scaling relations as those of bona fide elliptical galaxies.
