Although with considerable scatter, a red sequence well-described by the passive evolution of an intrinsically old stellar population is observed. Comparison with the passively evolved colour-magnitude relation of the rich Coma cluster ($z=0.023$) indicates that around half of the early-type galaxies in the field at this redshift are as old as those in rich clusters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-10-08T17:38:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hubble deep field", "early-type galaxies", "rest-frame colour-magnitude diagram", "rich coma cluster", "intrinsically old stellar population" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 490555 } } }
