Sample of galaxies with surviving CP cores (magenta) compared to the whole sample of ETGs (gray). Panels show redshift of the last major merger, fraction of recently formed in-situ stars Δ_{insitu, z ≤ 1}, rotational support V/σ, and minor-to-major axis ratio q at 1R_e as functions of stellar mass. Solid lines show the median profiles and shaded regions enclose the quartiles of the distributions. Galaxies with CP-cores had fewer recent major mergers, formed fewer in-situ stars after redshift z = 1, and are characterized by lower rotational support and rounder shapes than all ETGs of similar mass.
