What is the grammar construction in "The properties given in ..."?

I often see grammar constructions like this:


The properties given in ...

Is it short form of the passive voice (i.e. the original phase is "The properties are given in" or "The properties which are given in")?

Or is it adjective that follow head noun?

Where I can read about grammar constuction like this?

Thanks.
