    Photometric observations of the warped disks of NGC 4013, NGC 4565 and NGC 6504
    Three spiral galaxies with warped disks have been observed; NGC 4013, NGC 4565, and NGC 6504. There is a clear wavelength dependence in the warp's curve, the...

    Quantifying the ionising flux escaping from the ultra-luminous HII regions in four spiral galaxies
    There are two principal problems in explaining, in terms of the emission from OB stars, the ionisation of the gas which emits the diffuse H-alpha in spiral...

    Recovering lenticular galaxies past histories using planetary nebulae kinematics: the case of NGC1023
    We present a detailed study of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023 kinematics. To perform this analysis we use planetary nebulae (PNe). which can be observed in the...

    Satellite galaxies as probes of the gravitational potentials of large spirals
    An aspect of the missing mass problem in galaxies, not easy to address, is whether the dynamical mass distribution is spherical or greatly flattened, following...
