The J-band structural parameters of a magnitude-limited sample of 148 unbarred S0--Sb galaxies were obtained using the GASP2D algorithm and then analyzed to...
The intrinsic shape of bulges in the CALIFA survey
Context. The intrinsic shape of galactic bulges in nearby galaxies provides crucial information to separate bulge types. Aims: We aim to derive accurate...
The intrinsic three-dimensional shape of galactic bars
We present the first statistical study on the intrinsic three-dimensional (3D) shape of a sample of 83 galactic bars extracted from the CALIFA survey. We use...
The ionised and molecular mass of post-common-envelope planetary nebulae. The missing mass problem
Context. Most planetary nebulae (PNe) show beautiful, axisymmetric morphologies despite their progenitor stars being essentially spherical. Close binarity is...
The ionized gas at the centre of IC 10: a possible localized chemical pollution by Wolf-Rayet stars
We present results from integral field spectroscopy with the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrograph at the 3.5-m telescope at Calar Alto Observatory of the intense...
The Ionized Gas in Nearby Galaxies as Traced by the [N II] 122 and 205 μm Transitions
The [N ii] 122 and 205 μm transitions are powerful tracers of the ionized gas in the interstellar medium. By combining data from 21 galaxies selected from the...
The ionized gas in the CALIFA early-type galaxies. I. Mapping two representative cases: NGC 6762 and NGC 5966
As part of the ongoing CALIFA survey, we have conducted a thorough bidimensional analysis of the ionized gas in two E/S0 galaxies, NGC 6762 and NGC 5966, aiming...
The ionized gas in the spiral galaxy NGC 3359. I. Photometry
We combine Hα imaging and broad-band optical and NIR imaging over the face of the barred galaxy NGC 3359, obtained within the BARS program on the Canary Island...
The ionized gas in the spiral galaxy NGC 3359. II. Kinematics
The spiral galaxy NGC 3359 has been observed in the Hα line with the TAURUS II Fabry-Perot interferometer at the William Herschel Telescope within the BARS...
