We have explored radial color and stellar surface mass density profiles for a sample of 85 late-type galaxies with available deep (down to˜27.0mag/arcsec2) SDSS g'- and r'-band surface brightness profiles. About 90% of the light profiles have been classified as broken exponentials, exhibiting either truncations (Type II galaxies) or antitruncations

The γp → η‧p reaction was studied near the threshold, in the 1.44 GeV> Eγ < 1.55GeV energy range with the tagged photons of the former GRAAL experiment. The two neutral decays γγ(Γi/Γ = 2.10 ± 0.12%) and π0π0η(Γi/Γ = 20.7 ± 1.2%) were analized and preliminary results of the beam asymmetry were extracted together with the invariant masses.

The preliminary results obtained by the GRAAL collaboration for the π0π+ photoproduction on the free and quasi-free proton (deuteron) at Eγ = 0.7-1.5 GeV are presented. The total cross section of the γp → π0π+n reaction and invariant mass spectra for the π+π0, π+n and π0n systems are presented in the photon energy range from 0.7 to 1.5 GeV. These

We present the results from the analysis of the optical broadband and X-ray properties of a large sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Groth-Westphal Strip (GWS) field. The description of the observational material and data processing is described in a separate paper (see Pović et al. 2009, in this volume). Here the main findings are

We present results from the study of optical broadband and X-ray properties of a large sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Groth-Westphal Strip (GWS) field. In order to determine the morphology of all objects, we obtained different structural parameters. Combining these parameters with other optical/X-ray properties, we were searching for

OSIRIS, the optical Day One instrument for the GTC, will shortly be shipped to La Palma to start the commissioning at the telescope. Some results of the final laboratory characterization of the instrument are shown, together with the upgrades that are planned to be operational after Day One. Several large programs using the OSIRIS Tunable Filters
