    A SINFONI View of Galaxy Centers: Morphology and Kinematics of Five Nuclear Star Formation-Rings
    We present near-infrared (H- and K-band) integral-field observations of the circumnuclear star formation rings in five nearby spiral galaxies. The data...

    A slow bar in the lenticular barred galaxy NGC 4277
    Aims: We characterised the properties of the bar hosted in lenticular galaxy NGC 4277, which is located behind the Virgo cluster. Methods: We measured the bar...

    A slow lopsided bar in the interacting dwarf galaxy IC 3167
    We present surface photometry and stellar kinematics of IC 3167, a dwarf galaxy hosting a lopsided weak bar and infalling into the Virgo cluster. We measured...

    A SLUGGS and Gemini/GMOS combined study of the elliptical galaxy M60: wide-field photometry and kinematics of the globular cluster system
    We present new wide-field photometry and spectroscopy of the globular clusters (GCs) around NGC 4649 (M60), the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster...

    A spectral diagnostic for density-bounded HII regions
    The existence of density-bounded HII regions in spiral galaxies is supported by means of a spectral indicator based on the intensity of the [OI]λ6300 forbidden...

    A Spectral Diagnostic for Density-Bounded HII Regions
    Our spectral diagnostic based on the intensity of the [OI]λ6300Å line indicates that many observed HII regions are indeed density-bounded. The estimated...

    A spectrophotometric study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4253
    CCD spectroscopic observations from [NeV] lambda3425A to [SIII] lambda9532A of the nucleus and circumnuclear region of the Seyfert 1 NGC 4253 are presented. The...
