Observations of the Local Arm have been carried out in the near-infrared with the 1.5 m ``Carlos Sanchez'' telescope in Tenerife. A model of the disc with...
Near infrared observations of the truncation of stellar disks
We present a first study of truncation of the stellar disks of spiral galaxies in the near infrared. Observations of NGC 4013, NGC 4217, NGC 6504 and NGC 5981...
Near- to mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy of two buried AGNs of the nearby merging galaxy NGC 6240 with Subaru/IRCS+AO and GTC/CanariCam
We report near-infrared K ', L', and M ' band imaging observations of the nearby merging galaxy NGC 6240 with the Infrared Camera and Spectrograph on the Subaru...
Near-Infrared Adaptive Optics Imaging of High-Redshift Quasars
The properties of high-redshift quasar host galaxies are studied in order to investigate the connection between galaxy evolution, nuclear activity, and the...
We present an atlas of Ks-band images of 206 early-type galaxies, including 160 S0-S0/a galaxies, 12 ellipticals and 33 Sa galaxies (+ one later type). The...
Near-Infrared Galaxy Counts and Evolution from the Wide-Field ALHAMBRA Survey
The ALHAMBRA survey aims to cover 4 deg2 using a system of 20 contiguous, equal width, medium-band filters spanning the range 3500 Å-9700 Å plus the standard...
Near-infrared imaging of the host galaxies of flat spectrum radio quasars
We present the results of a high resolution (0.27'' px(-1) ) near-infrared H band (1.65 μm) imaging survey of a complete sample of 20 flat spectrum radio...
Near-infrared imaging of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252.
We present near-infrared (JHK) imaging of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252, taken with the IRAC2 array on the 2.2m telescope at ESO, La Silla. The unresolved and...
Near-infrared line-strengths in elliptical galaxies: evidence for initial mass function variations?
We present new relations between recently defined line-strength indices in the near-infrared (CaT*, CaT, PaT, MgI and sTiO) and central velocity dispersion (σ0)...
