Number density and luminosity function of field E/S0 galaxies at z<1. Im M., Simard L., Faber S.M., Koo D.C., Gebhardt K., Willmer C.N.A., Phillips A., Illingworth G., Vogt N.P., Sarajedini V.L. <Astrophys.

Using nearby galaxy images as a training set, we develop a quantitative method to classify E/S0 galaxies based on smoothness, symmetry, and bulge-to-total light ratio. Using this method, we identify 145 E/S0's at 16.5<I<22 within the GSS, for which 44 spectroscopic redshifts (z_spec_) are available. Most of the galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts (86%) form a "red envelope" in the redshift-color diagram, consistent with predictions of spectral synthesis models in which the dominant stellar population is formed at redshifts z> 1.5.
