Massive ETGs are rare in the field. 2
3
Massive ETGs are abundant in massvie clusters! 3

Superclusters are an ideal lab for seeing galaxy evolution! SDSS DR7 SDSS DR7 + WISE study of ETGs (red) and LTGs (blue) in A2199 (GH Lee, HS Hwang, MG Lee et al. 2014, ApJ, submitted, Poster) three clusters + four groups + something else Morphology from KIAS VAGC

6
Various surveys & simulations lead to remarkable advances in understanding of formation and evolution of massive galaxies. 6 However, (NASA/STScI)
7
However, most methods are based on integrated stellar light! (Limits) 1) Observing mostly only the inner regions of galaxies, seeing only a tip of an iceberg! 2) Difficult to distinguish multiple populations! 7
8
8 Intracluster light is also abundant in cluster! It is bluer than massive galaxies! (Montes+2014: A2744) Its origin? Heavy or light galaxies?
9
Stellar Halos! Not dark, but very faint! 1) Do massive ETGs have a single halo (spheroid) or multiple halos? 2) How different are halos in E galaxies from bulges in disk galaxies? 3) How did these halos form? 9
10
Note that stellar halos occupy not only the outer region but also the inner region of a galaxy! (Two powerful probes) 1) Globular clusters (GCs), tracing halos. 2) Resolved stars, showing directly stellar halos! 10
11
Color distributions of GCs are bimodal, showing blue (metal-poor) GCs and red (metal-rich) GCs. Both may be older than 10 Gyr (corresponding to z>2). 11 Globular Clusters in M49 (Geisler, Lee, & Kim 1996, AJ, Lee et al 1998, AJ) color
12
The blue GC system looks circular, while the red GC system is more elongated. -Why both systems in a galaxy show difference? -Is M49 special? -Is this common among massive ETGs? -What does it tell about galaxy formation? 12 Globular Clusters in M49 (Lee, Kim & Geisler 1998 AJ) Blue GC : Red GC
13
To answer these questions, we need 13
14
An example: M59 (E5) Gray: GCs in 100 galaxies Color: M59 (Shapes of the GC systems) The red GC system is more elongated than the blue GC system. 14 Data: homogeneous set of gz photometry of GCs in 100 Virgo ETGs (Cote+2004, Peng+2006, 2008, Jordan+2009) – gray map Small field of view, but excellent quality!
15
Ellipticity of the red GC systems shows a tight 1:1 correlation with galaxy stellar light, while the blue GC systems do much less. 15 Ellipticity (GC system) Ellipticity (galaxy stellar light)
16
Red GC systems show a strong correlation with M v (galaxy): fainter galaxies have more elongated red GC systems. Blue GC systems show little correlation with M v. 16
17
Ellipticity of the red GC systems shows a strong correlation with rotation of their host galaxy: the faster galaxies rotate, the more elongated their red GCSs are. In contrast, the blue GC systems do little. 17 Rotational parameter (star)[ATLAS 3D] e(GCS-star) ellipticity (GCS)

Massive ETGs have dual halos! A blue halo and a red halo. Yin & Yang model? 19 Old viewNew view

Lee+ (2013) The blue halo (metal-poor) ◦ Rounder, More extended ◦ Non-rotating? The red halo (metal-rich) ◦ Main body of ETGs ◦ Strong correlation with stars ◦ Elongated, Compacter ◦ Rotating? 20 Globular Clusters in M49 (Lee, Kim & Geisler 1998 AJ) Blue halo : Red halo

22
The blue halos are much larger than the red halos! (radial density profiles are flatter). Intracluster GCs are mostly blue GCs! (old & metal- poor) 22 Lee, Park & Hwang (2010, Science): SDSS Blue GCs : Red GCs

M105 (Harris+ 2007 (SE field), Lee & Jang 2014) Resolved stars show two RGB pops: Blue (metal-poor) RGB and Red (metal-rich) RGBs! 25 Lee & Jang (2014, in prep) Blue: Red RGB
26
Two components Metal-rich stars dominate in the inner region. Metal-poor stars get significant in the outer region. 26 Lee & Jang (2014, in prep)
27
Two components Inner region(3-7 R eff ): the red RGB dominates Outer region(10-13R eff ): the blue RGB gets stronger, while the peak metallicity of the red RGB remains constant. 27 Metallicity, [M/H] Showing two stellar halos: blue and red. Consistent with GC halos! Inner region Outer region Blue: Red RGB Lee & Jang (2014, in prep)

UFDs (as well as dSphs) may be the origin of the blue halos and ICL?
37
37 Two mode formation! 1) Red halo mode ◦ In situ formation via dissipative collapse/merger ◦ Mostly metal-rich stars ◦ Starting from a or more massive progenitors with rotation 2) Blue halo mode ◦ Dissipationless merger/accretion ◦ Mostly metal-poor stars ◦ Mostly from dwarf galaxies To be tested with simulations.
38
38 Current idea to explain size evolution of ETGs: progenitors of massive ETGs formed at z>3 and grew via minor merger at z<2. However, measured R eff s are based on metal-rich stars, i.e., the red halo! They do not recognize the existence of the blue halo.

However, measured R eff s are based on metal-rich stars, i.e., the red halo! They do not recognize the existence of the blue halo. Possibilities: 1) dry merging of intermediate mass galaxies, not of dwarf galaxies. 2) wet merging of gaseous galaxies 3) Two phase formation scenarios should be three: two for red halos and one for blue halos.
