We derive single S\'ersic fits and bulge-disk decompositions for 13096 galaxies at redshifts z < 0.08 in the GAMA II equatorial survey regions in the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) g, r and i bands. The surface brightness fitting is performed…

UV observations in the local universe have uncovered a population of early-type galaxies with UV flux consistent with low-level recent or ongoing star formation. We present resolved UV-optical photometry of a sample of 19 SDSS early-type…

Euclid-VIS is a large format visible imager for the ESA Euclid space mission in their Cosmic Vision program, scheduled for launch in 2019. Together with the near infrared imaging within the NISP instrument it forms the basis of the weak…

We have used spectral fits to SSP-based atmosphere models to derive an estimate of the average stellar age for an almost complete sample of 15 Early-Type Galaxies (ETG) at 0.88<z<1.3. The results are in only partial agreement with the age…

The ESO-Spitzer extragalactic Imaging Survey (ESIS) is the optical follow up of the Spitzer Wide-Area InfraRed Extragalactic (SWIRE) survey in the ELAIS-S1 area. This paper presents B, V, R Wide Field Imager observations of the first 1.5…

As a result of an extensive observational campaign targeting the Virgo cluster, we obtained integrated (drift-scan mode) optical spectra and multiwavelength (UV,U,B,V,H) photometry for 124 and 330 galaxies, respectively, spanning the whole…

We perform spatially resolved stellar population analysis for a sample of 69 early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the CALIFA integral field spectroscopic survey, including 48 ellipticals and 21 S0's. We generate and quantitatively characterize…

The next generation of wide spectroscopic surveys such as Euclid will scan the sky in the near-infrared to obtain both photometry and spectroscopy. For this purpose, the Euclid telescope will rely on a Near-Infrared Spectrometer and…
