    Early-type galaxies: instructions to build them through mergers
    Early-type galaxies: instructions to build them through mergers Massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) are "red and dead" systems mainly composed of old and metal...

    Globular cluster systems and the origin of early-type dwarfs in Virgo
    Early-type dwarfs (dEs) are by far the most abundant galaxy population in nearby clusters. Whether these objects are primordial, or recent end-products of the...

    Kinematics and stellar population gradients as fingerprints of past mergers in elliptical galaxies
    The formation and evolution of early-type galaxies constitutes a long-standing and crucial problem in cosmology. In all hierarchical clustering models within a...

    Kinematics and stellar populations in the outer halos of early type galaxies
    Stellar halos of galaxies offer an important laboratory to understand the galaxies’ formation process and evolution. In fact, the dynamic time scale in the...

    Probing black hole-galaxy co-evolution from de-biased scaling relations
    It has been claimed for decades that almost all galaxies in the local Universe host at their centre a supermassive black hole (SMBH) the mass of which appears...

    Quantification of bar strength and the structure of galaxies
    Bars are important engines for the evolution of structure in galaxies. Bars can cause secular evolution of both the gas and stellar distributions in galaxies...

    Structural properties of isolated galaxies
    Different components of galaxies are the result of internal and environmental processes during their lifetimes. Disentangling these processes is an important...

    Surface photometry of early-type galaxies.
    In its most general acceptation, surface photometry is a technique applicable to any "extended" object, irrespective of the spectral band of the observational...
