Kinematics and photometry as complementary tools in the study of barred galaxies
Juan Carlos Vega Beltran, Peter Erwin, John Beckman +4
Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical modelling of galaxy kinematics allow us to use more than just optical morphology to discern the structure and dynamics o…

The Quest for the Dominant Stellar Population in the Giant Elliptical NGC 5018
Lucio M. Buson, Francesco Bertola, David Burstein +1
Newly obtained HST/WFPC2 images of the disturbed elliptical galaxy NGC 5018 show that the average amount of internal reddening due to the its complex ``dust web'' is as low as E(B-…

NGC 4672: a new case of an early-type disk galaxy with an orthogonally decoupled core
M. Sarzi, E. M. Corsini, A. Pizzella +4
We report the case of the early-type disk galaxy NGC 4672 as a new example of a galaxy characterized by the orthogonal geometrical decoupling between bulge and disk. The morphologi…
