We have measured velocity dispersions for a sample of 36 galaxies with J < 21.2 or Mr < -20.6 mag in MS1054-03, a massive cluster of galaxies at z = 0.83. Our data are of uniformly high quality down to our selection limit, our 16-hour exposures typically yielding errors of only delta(dispersion)~10% for L* and fainter galaxies. By combining our measurements with data from the literature, we have 53 cluster galaxies with measured dispersions, and HST/ACS-derived sizes, colors and surface brightnesses. This sample is complete for the typical L* galaxy at z~1, unlike most previous z~1 cluster samples which are complete only for the massive cluster members (>1e11 M_sun). We find no evidence for a change in the tilt of the fundamental plane (FP). Nor do we find evidence for evolution in the slope of the color-dispersion relation and M/L_B-dispersion relations; measuring evolution at a fixed dispersion should minimize the impact of size evolution found in other work. The M/L_B at fixed dispersion evolves by Delta log10 M/L_B=-0.50 +/- 0.03 between z=0.83 and z=0.02 or d(log10 M/L_B)=-0.60 +/- 0.04 dz, and we find Delta (U-V)_z=-0.24 +/- 0.02 mag at fixed dispersion in the rest-frame, matching the expected evolution in M/L_B within 2.25 standard deviations. The implied formation redshift from both the color and M/L_B evolution is z*=2.0 +/- 0.2 +/- 0.3 (sys), during the epoch in which the cosmic star-formation activity peaked, with the systematic uncertainty showing the dependence of z* on the assumptions we make about the stellar populations. The lack of evolution in either the tilt of the FP or in the M/L- and color-dispersion relations imply that the formation epoch depends weakly on mass, ranging from z*=2.3 +1.3 -0.3 at 300 km/s to z*=1.7 +0.3 -0.2 at 160 km/s and implies that the IMF similarly varies slowly with galaxy mass.

We present spectroscopic observations obtained at the {it Large Binocular Telescope} in the field of the cluster XLSSJ0223-0436 at $z=1.22$. We confirm 12 spheroids cluster members and determine stellar velocity dispersion for 7 of them. We combine t
hese data with those in the literature for clusters RXJ0848+4453 at $z=1.27$ (8 galaxies) and XMMJ2235-2557 at $z=1.39$ (7 galaxies) to determine the Fundamental Plane of cluster spheroids. We find that the FP at $zsim1.3$ is offset and { rotated ($sim3sigma$)} with respect to the local FP. The offset corresponds to a mean evolution $Delta$rm{log}(M$_{dyn}$/L$_B$)=(-0.5$pm$0.1)$z$. High-redshift galaxies follow a steeper mass-dependent M$_{dyn}$/L$_B$-M$_{dyn}$ relation than local ones. Assuming $Delta$ log$(M_{dyn}/L_B)$=$Delta$ log$(M^*/L_B)$, higher-mass galaxies (log(M$_{dyn}$/M$_odot$)$geq$11.5) have a higher-formation redshift ($z_fgeq$6.5) than lower-mass ones ($z_fleq$2 for log(M$_{dyn}$/M$_odot$$leq$10)), with a median $z_fsimeq2.5$ for the whole sample. Also, galaxies with higher stellar mass density host stellar populations formed earlier than those in lower density galaxies. At fixed IMF, M$_{dyn}$/M$^*$ varies systematically with mass and mass density. It follows that the evolution of the stellar populations (M$^*/L_B$) accounts for the observed evolution of M$_{dyn}/L_B$ for M$_{dyn}$$>10^{11}$ M$_odot$ galaxies, while accounts for $sim$85% of the evolution at M$_{dyn}$$<10^{11}$ M$_odot$. We find no evidence in favour of structural evolution of individual galaxies, while we find evidences that spheroids later added to the population account for the observed discrepancy at masses $<10^{11}$ M$_odot$.

We explore the connection between the kinematics, structures and stellar populations of massive galaxies at $0.6<z<1.0$ using the Fundamental Plane (FP). Combining stellar kinematic data from the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C) survey
with structural parameters measured from deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging, we obtain a sample of 1419 massive ($log(M_*/M_odot) >10.5$) galaxies that span a wide range in morphology, star formation activity and environment, and therefore is representative of the massive galaxy population at $zsim0.8$. We find that quiescent and star-forming galaxies occupy the parameter space of the $g$-band FP differently and thus have different distributions in the dynamical mass-to-light ratio ($M_{rm dyn}/L_g$), largely owing to differences in the stellar age and recent star formation history, and, to a lesser extent, the effects of dust attenuation. In contrast, we show that both star-forming and quiescent galaxies lie on the same mass FP at $zsim 0.8$, with a comparable level of intrinsic scatter about the plane. We examine the variation in $M_{rm dyn}/M_*$ through the thickness of the mass FP, finding no significant residual correlations with stellar population properties, Sersic index, or galaxy overdensity. Our results suggest that, at fixed size and velocity dispersion, the variations in $M_{rm dyn}/L_g$ of massive galaxies reflect an approximately equal contribution of variations in $M_*/L_g$, and variations in the dark matter fraction or initial mass function.
We present the analysis of the fundamental plane (FP) for a sample of 19 massive red-sequence galaxies ($M_{star} >4times10^{10} M_{odot}$) in 3 known overdensities at $1.39<z<1.61$ from the KMOS Cluster Survey, a guaranteed time program with spectro
scopy from the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) at the VLT and imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope. As expected, we find that the FP zero-point in $B$ band evolves with redshift, from the value 0.443 of Coma to $-0.10pm0.09$, $-0.19pm0.05$, $-0.29pm0.12$ for our clusters at $z=1.39$, $z=1.46$, and $z=1.61$, respectively. For the most massive galaxies ($log M_{star}/M_{odot}>11$) in our sample, we translate the FP zero-point evolution into a mass-to-light-ratio $M/L$ evolution finding $Delta log M/L_{B}=(-0.46pm0.10)z$, $Delta log M/L_{B}=(-0.52pm0.07)z$, to $Delta log M/L_{B}=(-0.55pm0.10)z$, respectively. We assess the potential contribution of the galaxies structural and stellar velocity dispersion evolution to the evolution of the FP zero-point and find it to be $sim$6-35 % of the FP zero-point evolution. The rate of $M/L$ evolution is consistent with galaxies evolving passively. By using single stellar population models, we find an average age of $2.33^{+0.86}_{-0.51}$ Gyr for the $log M_{star}/M_{odot}>11$ galaxies in our massive and virialized cluster at $z=1.39$, $1.59^{+1.40}_{-0.62}$ Gyr in a massive but not virialized cluster at $z=1.46$, and $1.20^{+1.03}_{-0.47}$ Gyr in a protocluster at $z=1.61$. After accounting for the difference in the age of the Universe between redshifts, the ages of the galaxies in the three overdensities are consistent within the errors, with possibly a weak suggestion that galaxies in the most evolved structure are older.

We present the Fundamental Plane (FP) for 38 early-type galaxies in the two rich galaxy clusters RXJ0152.7-1357 (z=0.83) and RXJ1226.9+3332 (z=0.89), reaching a limiting magnitude of M_B =-19.8 mag in the rest frame of the clusters. While the zero po
int offset of the FP for these high redshift clusters relative to our low redshift sample is consistent with passive evolution with a formation redshift of z_form ~ 3.2, the FP for the high redshift clusters is not only shifted as expected for a mass-independent z_form, but rotated relative to the low redshift sample. Expressed as a relation between the galaxy masses and the mass-to-light ratios the FP is significantly steeper for the high redshift clusters than found at low redshift. We interpret this as a mass dependency of the star formation history, as has been suggested by other recent studies. The low mass galaxies (10^10.3 M_sun) have experienced star formation as recently as z ~ 1.35 (1.5 Gyr prior to their look back time), while galaxies with masses larger than 10^11.3 M_sun had their last major star formation episode at z > 4.5.
