The star formation histories of fossil group galaxies
conference contribution
posted on 2024-07-09, 19:14 authored by Ignacio G. De La Rosa, Robert N. Proctor, Claudia Mendes de Oliveira, Duncan ForbesDuncan Forbes, Roberto Cid Fernandes, Abilio MateusA comparison is carried out among the star formation histories of the early-type galaxies (ETGs) in fossil groups, clusters and low density environments. Although they show similar evolutionary histories, a significant fraction of the fossils are younger than their counterparts, suggesting that they can be precursors of the isolated ETG galaxies.
