dc.description.abstractWe investigate the evolution in the distribution of surface brightness, as a function of size, for elliptical and S0 galaxies in the two clusters RDCS J1252.9 - 2927 ( z = 1: 237) and RX J0152.7 - 1357 ( z = 0: 837). We use multicolor imaging with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope to determine these sizes and surface brightnesses. Using three different estimates of the surface brightnesses, we find that we reliably estimate the surface brightness for the galaxies in our sample with a scatter of < 0.2 mag and with systematic shifts of <= 0.05 mag. We construct samples of galaxies with early- type morphologies in both clusters. For each cluster, we use a magnitude limit in a band that closely corresponds to the rest- frame B, to magnitude limit of M-B = - 18: 8 at z = 0, and select only those galaxies within the color- magnitude sequence of the cluster or by using our spectroscopic redshifts. We measure evolution in the rest- frame B surface brightness and find - 1: 41 +/- 0: 14 mag from the Coma Cluster of galaxies for RDCS J1252.9 - 2927 and - 0: 90 +/- 0: 12 mag of evolution for RX J0152.7 - 1357, or an average evolution of ( - 1: 13 +/- 0: 15) z mag. Our statistical errors are dominated by the observed scatter in the size - surface brightness relation, sigma = 0: 42 +/- 0: 05 mag for RX J0152.7 - 1357 and sigma = 0: 76 +/- 0: 10 mag for RDCS J1252.9 - 2927. We find no statistically significant evolution in this scatter, although an increase in the scatter could be expected. Overall, the pace of luminosity evolution we measure agrees with that of the fundamental plane of early- type galaxies, implying that the majority of massive early- type galaxies observed at z similar or equal to 1 formed at high redshifts.
