Cluster versus Field Elliptical Galaxies and Clues on Their Formation
Mariangela Bernardi,Alvio Renzini,Luiz N. da Costa,Gary Wegner,M. Victoria Alonso,Paulo S. Pellegrini,C. Rite,Christopher N. A. Willmer +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether the Mg2-σ0 relation shows any dependence on the local environment and find that cluster, group, and field early-type galaxies follow almost identical Mg 2-σ 0 relations, with the largest Mg 1 zero-point difference (clusters minus field) being only 0.007±0.002 mag.

Spectro-photometric distances to stars: a general-purpose Bayesian approach
Basilio X. Santiago,Dorothée Brauer,Friedrich Anders,Cristina Chiappini,Anna B. A. Queiroz,Léo Girardi,Helio J. Rocha-Pinto,Eduardo Balbinot,Luiz N. da Costa,Marcio A. G. Maia,Mathias Schultheis,Matthias Steinmetz,Andrea Miglio,Josefina Montalbán,Donald P. Schneider,Timothy C. Beers,Peter M. Frinchaboy,Young Sun Lee,Gail Zasowski +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian approach is used to build the probability distribution function over stellar evolutionary models given spectroscopic and photometric quantities, delivering estimates of model parameters for each star individually.
