The Relation Between Stellar Populations and Light Profiles in Early–Type Galaxies

Abstract

Early-type (E/SO) galaxies follow tight relations such as the Fundamental Plane, the Color-Magnitude Relation or the Mg2–σ relation (Bender et al. 1992). However little is known about the relation between their morphological shapes and stellar populations (Conselice 2003), most likely because these two fields rely on methods that have grown up separately. Here we explore possible correlations between the Sérsic index n, and relevant stellar population parameters.
