The elliptical colour-magnitude relation as a discriminant between the monolithic and merger paradigms: the importance of progenitor bias
The colour-magnitude relation (CMR) of cluster ellipticals has been widely used to constrain their star formation histories (SFHs) and to discriminate between the monolithic and merger paradigms of elliptical galaxy formation. We investigate the elliptical CMR predicted in the merger paradigm by usi...
