The main text (pp. -
)
is organized as follows.
The current chapter (Chapter
)
gives a general introduction to the thesis.
Chapter
gives background information
necessary for the subsequent chapters.
The topics covered include
the Fundamental Plane and stellar population synthesis models.
Chapter
describes the
sample selection
and basic reductions
for the HydraI photometry.
Chapter
describes the HydraI surface photometry
and the standard calibration.
Chapter
describes the derivation of the
global photometric parameters for the HydraI data.
Chapter
describes the HydraI spectroscopy.
Chapter
starts with
a summary of the HydraI data
and a presentation of the Coma data.
Then the analysis is presented.
Finally, in
Chapter
the conclusions are given.
The appendices (pp. -
)
are organized as follows.
Appendix
gives details of the basic reductions of the photometry.
Appendix
gives details of the surface photometry.
Appendix
describes the standard calibration of the photometry.
Appendix
lists the Coma data.
Appendix
shows images of the 35 fields on the sky
in which the galaxies in the HydraI surface photometry sample are located.
Finally, Appendix
shows the HydraI surface photometry
profiles (e.g.
,
and
as function of radius).

The data used in the analysis will still be introduced in
Sect.
