How mass assembly occurs in galaxies and which process(es) contribute to this activity are among the most highly debated questions in galaxy formation theories. This has motivated our survey MASSIV of 0.9<z<1.9 star-forming galaxies…
We have obtained long-slit spectroscopy for a sample of 9 S0 galaxies in the Fornax Cluster using the FORS2 spectrograph at the 8.2m ESO VLT. From these data, we have extracted the kinematic parameters, comprising the mean velocity,…

The formation and evolution of galactic disks is particularly important for understanding how galaxies form and evolve, and the cause of the variety in which they appear to us. Ongoing large surveys, made possible by new instrumentation at…
