Faber-jackson Relation

The Faber-Jackson Relation is an empirical power-law correlation in extragalactic astronomy that relates the luminosity of an elliptical galaxy to its central stellar velocity dispersion, serving as a tool for estimating distances to elliptical galaxies within the extragalactic distance scale.
