Garzón et al. (cite{Garzon97}), López-Corredoira et al. (cite{Lopez99}) and Hammersley et al. (cite{Hammersley00}) have identified in TMGS and DENIS data a large excess of stars at l=27deg and b=0o which might correspond to an in-plane bar. We compared near infrared CAIN star counts and simulations from the Besançon Model of Galaxy on 15 fields

We use data from the IAC Stripe82 Legacy Project to study the surface photometry of 22 nearby, face-on to moderately inclined spiral galaxies. The reprocessed and combined Stripe 82 g ΄, r ΄ and i ΄ images allow us to probe the galaxy down to 29-30 r ΄-magnitudes arcsec-2 and thus reach into the very faint outskirts of the galaxies. Truncations are

We have conducted a systematic search for stellar disk truncations in disklike galaxies at intermediate redshift (z

The paper reports measurements of the integrated fluxes over the wavelength range 380 nm - 900 nm for 216 stars using a Reticon spectrometer in conjunction with the 1 m Kapteyn telescope of the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. Methods are proposed for deriving visible integrated fluxes from 13

We present SAURON integral-field stellar velocity and velocity dispersion maps for four double-barred early-type galaxies: NGC 2859, NGC 3941, NGC 4725, and NGC 5850. The presence of the inner bar does not produce major changes in the line-of-sight velocity, but it appears to have an important effect in the stellar velocity dispersion maps: we find

We present a preliminary analysis of ASTRO-F data of a complete sample of ~150 EROs (R-K>5) down to K(Vega)
