We have obtained high S/N Spitzer IRS spectra of 17 Virgo early-type galaxies that lie on the colour-magnitude relation of passively evolving galaxies in the cluster. To flux calibrate these extended sources we have devised a new procedure…

We present far-IR ISO observations of three early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster. The data were recorded using the ISOPHOT instrument in both the P32 oversampled maps and the P39/37 sparse maps. The maps reach the limiting sensitivity…

We present mid-infrared spectra of 5 submillimeter galaxies at z=0.65-2.38 taken with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Four of these sources, at z<1.5, have strong PAH features and their composite spectrum is well fitted by an M82-like spectrum…

Drift-scan mode (3600-6800 A) spectra with 500<R<1000 resolution are presented for 333 galaxies members to nearby clusters, covering the whole Hubble sequence. The majority (225) were obtained for galaxies in the Virgo cluster where a…
