| dc.description | We investigate the chemo-dynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies, to understand the origin of the mass-dependence of photometric properties such as the colour-magnitude relation (CMR). Our three-dimensional TREE N-body/SPH numerical simulation takes into account both Type II and Type Ia supernovae and follows the evolution of the abundances of several chemical elements. We derive the photometric properties of the simulation end-products and compare them with the observed CMR. | |
