    • The 6dF Galaxy Survey: : Stellar Population Trends Across and Through the Fundamental Plane 

      Springob, Christopher M.; Magoulas, Christina; Proctor, Rob; Colless, Matthew; Jones, D. Heath; Kobayashi, Chiaki; Campbell, Lachlan; Lucey, John; Mould, Jeremy (2012-03-11)
      We present results from an analysis of stellar population parameters for 7132 galaxies in the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (FP) sample. We bin the galaxies along the axes, $v_1$, $v_2$, and $v_3$, of the tri-variate Gaussian ...
    • The absence of an environmental dependence in the mass-metallicity relation at z = 2
