We describe a first attempt to apply adaptive optics to the study of resolved stellar populations in galaxies. Advantages over traditional approaches are (i) improved spatial resolution and point-source sensitivity through adaptive optics,…
We have constructed a morphologically divided redshift distribution of faint field galaxies using a statistically unbiased sample of 196 galaxies brighter than I = 21.5 for which detailed morphological information (from the Hubble Space…
Modern radio telescope surveys, capable of detecting billions of galaxies in wide-field surveys, have made manual morphological classification impracticable. This applies in particular when the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO)…
The morphological dependence of the luminosity function is studied using a sample containing approximately 1500 bright galaxies classified into Hubble types by visual inspections for a homogeneous sample obtained from the Sloan Digital Sky…
The controversy about the origin of the structure of S0--E/S0 galaxies may be due to the difficulty of comparing surface brightness profiles with different depths, photometric corrections and PSF effects (almost always ignored). We aim to…
We measure the luminosity function of morphologically selected E/S0 galaxies from $z=0.5$ to $z=1.0$ using deep high resolution Advanced Camera for Surveys imaging data. Our analysis covers an area of $48\Box\arcmin$ (8$\times$ the area of…
AIMS: We present in this work low and intermediate resolution spectroscopic data collected for 152 early type galaxies in 8 nearby clusters with z $\leq$ 0.10. METHODS: We use low resolution data to produce the redshift and the K-correction…
We present estimated redshifts and derived properties for a sample of 1663 galaxies with Ks <= 22 (Vega), selected from 50.4 sq.arcmin of the GOODS/CDFS field with deep ISAAC imaging, and make an extensive comparison of their properties…
We have performed VLT spectroscopy of an almost complete sample of 18 early-type galaxies with 0.88 < z < 1.3 plus two at z=0.67, selected from the K20 survey, and derived the velocity dispersion for 15+2 of them. By combining these data…
We present a complete POSS II-based refinement of the optical morphologies for galaxies in the Karatchenseva's Catalog of Isolated Galaxies that forms the basis of the AMIGA project. Comparison with independent classifications made for an…
This is the first of a series of three papers exploring the connection between the multiwavelength properties of AGNs in nearby early-type galaxies and the characteristics of their hosts. We selected two samples, both with high resolution 5…
The distribution of global photometric, spectroscopic, structural and morphological parameters for a well defined sample of 350 nearby galaxies has been examined. The usual trends were recovered demonstrating that E/S0 galaxies are redder,…
We measure the redshift-dependent luminosity function and the comoving radial density of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 (SDSS DR1). Both measurements indicate that the apparent number density of bright galaxies…
Type-III S0 galaxies present tight scaling relations between their surface brightness photometric and structural parameters. Several evolutionary models have been proposed for the formation of Type-III S0 galaxies but the observations of…
We present the first results of the KMOS Lens-Amplified Spectroscopic Survey (KLASS), a new ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) large program, doing multi-object integral field spectroscopy of galaxies gravitationally lensed behind seven galaxy…
We examined the morphology-density relations for galaxy samples selected by luminosity and by mass in each of five massive X-ray clusters from z=0.023 to 0.83 for 674 spectroscopically-confirmed members. Rest-frame optical colors and visual…
We present a classification of galaxies in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) 3$\pi$ survey based on their recent star formation history and morphology. Specifically, we train and test two Random Forest (RF) classifiers using photometric features…
We investigate the number counts, clustering, morphology and radio/X-ray emission of extremely red objects (EROs), defined as galaxies with R-K>5.0. This criterion will select old, passive ellipticals at z>0.9. To K=21 we identify a total…
We present optical (B & R) and infrared (K_s) images and photometry for a sample of 49 extremely late-type, edge-on disk galaxies selected from the Flat Galaxy Catalog of Karenchentsev et al. (1993). Our sample was selected to include…
We present the galaxy optical luminosity function for the redshift range 0.05<z<0.75 from the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES), a spectroscopic survey of 7.6 sq. deg. in the Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. Our…
