Compact groups of galaxies (CGs) show members with morphological disturbances, mainly products of galaxy-galaxy interactions, thus making them ideal systems to study galaxy evolution, in high-density environment. To understand how this…

We compare the history of the galaxy mass build-up, as inferred from near-IR observations, and the Star Formation Rate of massive stars in the comoving volume traced by deep extensive far-IR surveys, both possible now with the Spitzer Space…

We present results of surveys for high redshift field galaxies selected by their having produced detectable absorption in the spectra of background QSOs. Such surveys, in essence selected by gas cross-section rather than by flux density,…

This paper follows series of our works on the applicability of various machine learning methods to the morphological galaxy classification (Vavilova et al., 2021, 2022). We exploited the sample of 315776 SDSS DR9 galaxies with absolute…

We spectroscopically identified 7 massive evolved galaxies with magnitudes 17.8<K<18.4 at 1.3<z<1.7 over an area of ~160 arcmin^2 of the MUNICS survey. Their rest-frame K-band absolute magnitudes are -26.8<M$_K<-26.1 (5L*<L_K<10L*) and the…

We present galaxy luminosity functions at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 micron measured by combining photometry from the IRAC Shallow Survey with redshifts from the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes field.…

The morphological diversity of galaxies is a relevant probe of galaxy evolution and cosmological structure formation. However, in large sky surveys, even the morphological classification of galaxies into two classes, like late-type (LT) and…

The morphological types of 5840 galaxies were classified by a visual inspection of color images using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) to produce a morphology catalog of a representative sample of local galaxies with…

We present HI observations of 68 early-type disk galaxies from the WHISP survey. They have morphological types between S0 and Sab and absolute B-band magnitudes between -14 and -22. These galaxies form the massive, high surface-brightness…

Utilizing a BzK-selected technique, we obtain 14550 star-forming galaxies (sBzKs) and 1763 passive galaxies (pBzKs) at z~2 from the K-selected (K<22.5) catalog in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field. The differential number counts of sBzKs and…

The study of galaxy morphology is fundamental to understand the physical processes driving the structural evolution of galaxies. It has long been known that dense environments host high fractions of early-type galaxies and low fractions of…

We present results of a morphological analysis of a small subset of the Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE) galaxy population. The analysis is based on public ACS data taken inside the SWIRE N1 field, which are the…

We measure the evolution in the intrinsic shape distribution of early-type galaxies from z~1 to z~0 by analyzing their projected axis-ratio distributions. We extract a low-redshift sample (0.04 < z < 0.08) of early-type galaxies with very…

We study the impact of local density and stellar mass on the morphology of ~500 quiescent (Q) and SFGs from the VIS3COS survey. We perform B/D decomposition of the SBPs and find ~41% of 10^10 Msun galaxies to be best fitted with 2…

(Abridged) We present an unbiassed near-IR selected AGN sample, covering 12.56 square degrees down to K ~ 15.5, selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Our only selection effect is a moderate color cut (J-K>1.2) designed to…

We use the data of modern digital sky surveys (PanSTARRS-1, SDSS) combined with HI-line and far ultraviolet (GALEX) surveys to reclassify 165 early-type galaxies from the Catalog of Isolated Galaxies (KIG). As a result, the number of E- and…

We perform a deep search for galaxies in the redshift range 6.5<z<7.5, to measure the evolution of the number density of luminous galaxies in this redshift range and derive useful constraints on the evolution of their Luminosity Function.…
