Three observables of early-type galaxies - size ($r_{e}$), surface brightness ($I_{e}$), and velocity dispersion ($sigma_{0}$) - form a tight planar correlation known as the fundamental plane (FP), which has provided great insights into the galaxy formation and the evolution processes. However, the FP has been found to be tilted against the simple virial expectation, prompting debates on its origin. In order to investigate the contribution of systematic stellar population variation to the FP tilt, we study here the FP relations of early-type galaxies in mid-infrared (MIR) which may represent the stellar mass well. We examined the wavelength dependence of the FP coefficients, $a$ and $b$ in $log r_{e}= alogsigma_{0} + blog< I >_{e} + c$, using a sample of 56 early-type galaxies for which visible (V-band), near-infrared (K-band), and MIR (Spitzer IRAC, 3.6--8.0$mu$m) data are available. We find that the coefficient $a$ increases as a function of wavelength as $da/dlambda=0.11pm0.04mu m^{-1}$, while the coefficient $b$ reaches the closest to -1 at 3.6--5.8$mu$m. When applied to the visible FP coefficients derived from a larger sample of nearby early-type galaxies, we get the FP relation with $(a,b) simeq $(1.6--1.8,-0.9) at 3.6$mu$m. Our result suggests that the stellar population effect can explain more than half of the FP tilt, closing the gap between the virial expectation and the optical FP. The reduction in the FP tilt is reflected in the dynamical mass-to-light ratio, $M_{dyn}/L$, dependence on $L$ which decreases toward 3.6--5.8$mu$m, suggesting that the MIR light better represents mass than the shorter wavelengths.
Here we present new measurements of effective radii, surface brightnesses and internal velocity dispersions for 23 isolated early-type galaxies. The photometric properties are derived from new multi-colour imaging of 10 galaxies, whereas the central
We determine the near-infrared Fundamental Plane (FP) for $sim10^4$ early-type galaxies in the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). We fit the distribution of central velocity dispersion, near-infrared surface brightness and half-light radius with a three-dime
A magnitude limited sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 < z < 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The Fundamental Plane relation in this sample is R_o ~ sigm
We present a complete analysis of the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby universe. The sample, as defined in paper I, comprises 39,993 ETGs located in environments covering the entire domain in local density (from field to
From a sample of ~50000 early-type galaxies from the SDSS, we measured the traditional Fundamental Plane in four bands. We then replaced luminosity with stellar mass, and measured the stellar mass FP. The FP steepens slightly as one moves from shorte
