Description
Selected photometric bands, spatial resolution, disk dimension in the
frame and the scanned sky background level are determined in order to
establish galactic structural parameters. A crude analysis could lead to
erroneous results. Possible causes of error, as well as the minimum
requirements for a precise determination of parameters, will be
discussed. Our main goal is to separate morphologically the dynamical
components of galaxies in order to model their 3D structure and to
estimate their gravitational potential. Also important is to study their
stellar populations and histories. A population analysis of the
different structures of the galactic components with OSIRIS tunable
filters on the GTC is proposed.
