The most massive galaxies in clusters are already fully grown at z  ∼ 0.5

By constructing scaling relations for galaxies in the massive cluster MACSJ0717.5 at z = 0.545 and comparing with those of Coma, we model the luminosity evolution of the stellar populations and the structural evolution of the galaxies. We calculate magnitudes, surface brightnesses and effective radi...
