Abstract The VLT Survey Telescope ATLAS survey is an optical ugriz survey aiming to
cover≈ 4700 deg2 of the southern sky to similar depths as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey …

Aims. We present the characteristics and some early scientific results of the first instrument at
the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), the Large Binocular Camera (LBC). Each LBT …

We present deep near-infrared JHK imaging of four 10'× 10'fields. The observations were
carried out as part of the Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC) with ISPI on the …

We present azimuthally averaged radial profiles of R-band surface brightness for a complete
sample of 47 early-type, unbarred galaxies, as a complement to our previous study of early …

Context. Satellite accretion events have been invoked for mimicking the internal secular
evolutionary processes of bulge growth. However, N-body simulations of satellite accretions …

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 investigate bulge and disk scaling relations using a volume-corrected sample of early-to
intermediate-type disk galaxies in which, importantly, the biasing flux from additional nuclear …

ABSTRACT The Coma cluster, Abell 1656, was the target of an HST-ACS Treasury program
designed for deep imaging in the F475W and F814W passbands. Although our survey was …

The ALHAMBRA survey aims to cover 4 deg 2 using a system of 20 contiguous, equal width,
medium-band filters spanning the range 3500 Å–9700 Å plus the standard JHKs filters. Here …

Context. Recent studies have argued that galaxy mergers are not important drivers for the
evolution of S0's, on the basis that mergers cannot preserve the coupling between the bulge …
