    Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers. Evolution in the Tully-Fisher relation since z ∼ 1
    Context. Lenticular (S0) galaxies are known to derive from spiral galaxies. The fact that S0s nearly obey the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) at z ∼ 0 (as spirals...

    Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers. Explaining angular momentum and concentration change from spirals to S0s
    The CALIFA team has recently found that the stellar angular momentum and concentration of late-type spiral galaxies are incompatible with those of lenticular...

    Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers. Morphological properties: tidal relics, lenses, ovals, and other inner components
    Context. Major mergers are popularly considered too destructive to produce the relaxed regular structures and the morphological inner components (ICs) usually...

    Fornax 3D project: a two-dimensional view of the stellar initial mass function in the massive lenticular galaxy FCC 167
    The stellar initial mass function (IMF) regulates the baryonic cycle within galaxies, and is a key ingredient for translating observations into physical...

    Fornax 3D project: Assessing the diversity of IMF and stellar population maps within the Fornax Cluster
    The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is central to our interpretation of astronomical observables and to our understanding of most baryonic processes within...

    Fornax 3D project: Automated detection of planetary nebulae in the centres of early-type galaxies and first results
    Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) are detectable through relatively strong nebulous [O III] emission and act as direct probes into the local stellar...

    Fornax3D project: Assembly history of massive early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster from deep imaging and integral field spectroscopy
    This work is based on high-quality integral-field spectroscopic data obtained with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT...

    Fornax3D project: Overall goals, galaxy sample, MUSE data analysis, and initial results
    The Fornax cluster provides a uniquely compact laboratory in which to study the detailed history of early-type galaxies and the role played by the environment...

    Fossil group origins. II. Unveiling the formation of the brightest group galaxies through their scaling relations
    Context. Fossil systems are galaxy associations dominated by a relatively isolated, bright elliptical galaxy, surrounded by a group of smaller galaxies lacking...
