Radial orbital anisotropy and the Fundamental Plane of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
, 2002 The existence of the Fundamental Plane imposes strong constraints on the structure and dynamics of elliptical galaxies, and thus contains important information on the processes of their formation and evolution.

The near-infrared Fundamental Plane of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 Near-infrared (2.2 μm) observations of a sample of 48 elliptical galaxies in the Coma cluster have been carried out and used to study the near-infrared Fundamental Plane (FP) of ellipticals in this cluster.

Dynamical Models of Elliptical Galaxies inz = 0.5 Clusters. II. Mass‐to‐Light Ratio Evolution without Fundamental Plane Assumptions [PDF]
, 2007 We study the mass-to-light ratio (M/L) evolution of early-type galaxies using dynamical modeling of resolved internal kinematics. This makes fewer assumptions than fundamental plane (FP) studies and provides a powerful new approach for studying galaxy ...

Influence of Cooled Interstellar Gas on the Fundamental Plane of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 2000 We explore the possible important influence of cooled interstellar gas on the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies. Interstellar cooling is described by a parameterized sink term in the equation of continuity.

Mergers between elliptical galaxies and the thickening of the Fundamental Plane [PDF]
, 2003 We have carried out computer simulations to study the effect of merging on the Fundamental Plane (FP) relation. Initially, systems are spherical Jaffe models following a simple scaling relation (M/R2e= constant).

The SAURON project--IV. The mass-to-light ratio, the virial mass estimator and the Fundamental Plane of elliptical and lenticular galaxies [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate the well-known correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio M/L and other global observables of elliptical (E) and lenticul ar (S0) galaxies.

GRAPE-SPH chemodynamical simulation of elliptical galaxies -- II. Scaling relations and the fundamental plane [PDF]
, 2005 We simulate the formation and chemodynamical evolution of 128 elliptical galaxies using a GRAPE-SPH code that includes various physical processes that are associated with the formation of stellar systems: radiative cooling, star formation, feedback from ...

A Fundamental Plane Relation for the X-Ray Gas in Normal Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 2005 We report on the discovery of a new correlation between global parameters of the hot interstellar gas in elliptical galaxies. We reanalyze archival Chandra data for 30 normal early-type systems, removing the contributions of resolved and unresolved point

The effect of environment on the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2014 We study the effect of environment to fundamental relation of elliptical galaxies. We find that superclusters, filaments and groups give noticeable effect to slope of velocity dispersions while little to luminosity slope.

The Near-Infrared Fundamental Plane of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
, 1995 We present results from a near-infrared K-band imaging survey of 59 elliptical galaxies in five nearby clusters. We measure photometric parameters for each galaxy using surface photometry and draw velocity dispersions from the literature.
