In this paper, Fe and Mg indices from two homogenous collections of nuclear elliptical galaxy spectra are compared with model indices. And the average giant elliptical, the [Mg/Fe] ratio exceeds that of the most metal-rich stars in the solar neighborhood by ∼ 0.2-0.3 dex.Abstract:
Fe and Mg indices from two homogenous collections of nuclear elliptical galaxy spectra are compared with model indices. In the average giant elliptical, the [Mg/Fe] ratio exceeds that of the most metal-rich stars in the solar neighborhood by ∼0.2-0.3 dex, with a large spread about this mean. This result implies a variable «enrichment effectiveness» of Type II supernovae (SNs) compared with Type Ia SNs in the evolution of ellipticals, caused perhaps by differences in star formation time scales, the initial mass function, or the amount of Fe versus Mg ejected in galactic windsread more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use HST grism redshifts and extensive photometry in all five 3D-HST/CANDELS fields, more than doubling the area used previously for such studies.

Evidence of Cosmic Evolution of the Stellar Initial Mass Function
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the evolution of massive early-type galaxies in clusters at different scales of redshift and found that the evolution rate of the stellar IMF may be more weighted toward high-mass stars at higher redshift.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the self-regulated growth of supermassive BHs in mergers involving gas-rich galaxies is proposed to predict the merger-driven SFR density of the universe.
