Caracterizaci\'on de galaxias el\'ipticas en contexto cosmol\'ogico

We present preliminary results from a project aimed at exploring elliptical galaxies in numerical simulations within cosmological context to provide possible formation scenarios for samples of observed galaxies. We studied the integrated properties of such simulated systems in terms of mass and at redshift z=0. Some differences were found between the simulated color-magnitude diagram and observational results in the Virgo cluster.
