Context. A catalogue of the features for the complete Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in
Galaxies (S 4 G), including 2352 nearby galaxies, is presented. The measurements are …

Context. Lenticular (S0) galaxies are known to derive from spiral galaxies. The fact that S0s
nearly obey the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) at z~ 0 (as spirals have done in the last~ 9 Gyr) is …

The CALIFA team has recently found that the stellar angular momentum and concentration
of late-type spiral galaxies are incompatible with those of lenticular galaxies (S0s) …

Despite numerous efforts, it is still unclear whether lenticular galaxies (S0s) evolve from
spirals whose star formation was suppressed, or formed trough mergers or disc instabilities …

We investigate nuclear light profiles in 135 ATLAS3D galaxies for which the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) imaging is available and compare them to the large-scale kinematics …

Context. Lenticular galaxies (S0s) are more likely to host antitruncated (Type III) stellar discs
than galaxies of later Hubble types. Major mergers are popularly considered too violent to …

We have used the full radial extent of images from the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced
Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 to extract surface brightness …

Context. Observations reveal a strong structural coupling between bulge and disc in S0
galaxies, which seems difficult to explain if they have formed from supposedly catastrophic …

The fractions and dimension of bars, rings and lenses are studied in the near-infrared (IR)
S0 galaxy survey, which is a sample of∼ 200 early-type disc galaxies, mainly S0s. We find …

Context. Major mergers are popularly considered too destructive to produce the relaxed
regular structures and the morphological inner components (ICs) usually observed in …
