    Galactic Astronomy with OTELO
    OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object survey) is a project aimed at studying the low end luminosity function of emission line galaxies. A broad band survey...

    Galactic Bulges from Hubble Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera Multi-Object Spectrometer Observations: The Lack of r1/4 Bulges
    We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) near-infrared imaging to explore the shapes of the surface brightness profiles of bulges of S0-Sbc galaxies at high...
  • Publication
    Galactic bulges from Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS observations: ages and dust
    We present optical and near-infrared colour maps of the central regions of bulges of S0 and spiral galaxies obtained with WFPC2 and NICMOS on the Hubble Space...
  • Publication
    Galactic Bulges from Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS Observations: Central Galaxian Objects, and Nuclear Profile Slopes
    We have measured the central structural properties for a sample of S0-Sbc galaxies down to scales of ~10 pc using Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS images. Central...

    Galactic Bulges from Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS Observations: Global Scaling Relations
    We investigate bulge and disk scaling relations using a volume-corrected sample of early- to intermediate-type disk galaxies in which, importantly, the biasing...

    Galactic bulges: the importance of early formation scenarios vs. secular evolution
    We study the stellar content of three galactic bulges with the high resolution gratings (R=7000) of the WiFeS integral field unit in order to better understand...

    Galactic evolution of nitrogen
    We present detailed spectroscopic analysis of nitrogen abundances in 31 unevolved metal-poor stars analysed by spectral synthesis of the near-UV NH band at 3360...

    Galactic rings and secular evolution in barred galaxies
    Rings are common in galaxies. Several kinds of rings are known: collisional, polar, and resonance rings, of which the latter is by far most common. Resonance...

    Galactic warp in the overdensity of the Canis Major region
    Bellazzini et al. claim that López-Corredoira et al. warp model is totally unable to reproduce the Canis Major structure in the red clump stars. However, slight...
