3 Monolithic Collapse Kobayashi (2004) MNRAS 347, 740
The evolution in ±100kpc of dark matter (1st ), gas (2nd), stars (3rd ), V-luminosity (4th), And stellar metallicity (5th ) of the galaxy that forms monolithically. logZ/Zo=-1 to 0.4.

4 Major Merger @ z=2.0 Kobayashi (2004) MNRAS 347, 740
The evolution in ±100kpc of dark matter (1st ), gas (2nd), stars (3rd ), V-luminosity (4th), And stellar metallicity (5th ) of the galaxy that undergoes a major merger at z=2.0..

5 Monolithic Collapse Kobayashi (2004) MNRAS 347, 740
The star formation rate [log SFR (Mo/yr)] as a functions of time t (Gyr) in present day galaxies (r<20kpc, |z|<100kpc).

6 Metallicity Gradients
Kobayashi (2004) MNRAS 347, 740 The metallicity gradients : [O/H] (thick line) and [Fe/H] (thin line)

7 Evolution of Metallicity Gradients

9 Merger History Indicator
Kobayashi (2004) MNRAS 347, 740 The global properties of elliptical galaxies depend mainly on their masses, while their metallicity gradients are greatly affected by their merging history. A major merger makes the gradient shallower. Therefore, merging histories can be inferred from the observed metallicity gradients of present-day galaxies. Available observations for nearby galaxies suggest that there exist non-major merger galaxies and major merger galaxies half and half. The observed variation in the metallicity gradients cannot be explained by either monolithic collapse or by major merger alone. Instead, it is reproduced well in the present model in which both formation processes arise under the CDM scheme.

12 Z-M* Relations Kobayashi (2005) MNRAS 361, 1216
Compared with observations, the mass- metallicity relations are weak, with shallower sloe and larger scatter in the simulations, although the average is consistent. These are because the thermal feedback of supernovae is not enough to stop star formation in the SPH simulation. Takagi et al. (2004) Yamada et al. (2006)

13 Mass-to-Light Ratio Kobayashi (2005) MNRAS 361, 1216

14 Fundamental Plane large scatter ! Bender et al. (1993)
Kobayashi (2005) MNRAS 361, 1216 Face-on-View: No correlation between the masses and surface brightness. large scatter ! Obs: Pahre(1999) Bender et al. (1993) Edge-on-View : Simulated galaxies follow the observed relation with shallow slope.

15 Scatter along the FP major merger galaxies non-major merger galaxies
Kobayashi (2005) MNRAS 361, 1216 major merger galaxies non-major merger galaxies 基準平面の分散はマージングの 歴史を反映している。 大規模な合体を経験した銀河は 大きな有効半径と暗い表面輝度 を持つ傾向にある。けれども、 速度分散と光度はあまり変化しない。

16 Origin of the Fundamental Plane
Kobayashi (2005) MNRAS 361, 1216 光度/力学的質量 merger & multiple merger dwarf ellipticals 観測 monolithic & assembly 力学的質量 基準平面の傾きは金属量、年齢、ダークマターの量によって決まっている。 もっとも大きなファクターは金属量である。κ１＞3.5にある巨大楕円銀河の 年齢は１０Gyrでほぼ一定であるが、小さな銀河には金属量が高く 同時に年齢が若いのでκ３が小さいものもある。力学的な光度/質量比は 大質量の銀河程小さい、これはFPとは逆センスである。
