On the Origin of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies: The Fundamental Plane
J. A. L. Aguerri, C. Gonzalez-Garcia
Early-type dwarf galaxies are the most common type of galaxies observed in the Universe. The origin of this kind of systems is still not well understood. The aim of this paper is t…
Search for Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies During Quiescence
J. Sanchez Almeida, C. Munoz-Tunon, R. Amorin +3
Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies are metal poor systems going through a major starburst that cannot last for long. We have identified galaxies which may be BCDs during quiescence…
Properties of the Dwarf Galaxy Population in Galaxy Clusters
R. Sánchez-Janssen, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri, C. Muñoz-Tuñón
We present the observational properties of the dwarf galaxy population (Mr > M*+1) corresponding to one of the largest samples of spectroscopically confirmed galaxy cluster members…
Confirmation of a Kinematic Diagnostic for Face-On B/P Bulges
J. Mendez-Abreu, E. M. Corsini, Victor P. Debattista +4
We present the results of high resolution absorption-line spectroscopy of 3 face-on galaxies, NGC 98, NGC 600, and NGC 1703 with the aim of searching for box/peanut (B/P)-shaped bu…
Properties of bars in the local universe
J. Méndez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, E. M. Corsini
We studied the fraction and properties of bars in a sample of about 3000 galaxies extracted from SDSS-DR5. This represents a volume limited sample with galaxies located between red…
Structural properties of disk galaxies: The intrinsic equatorial ellipticity of bulges
J. Méndez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, E. M. Corsini +1
The structural parameters of a magnitude-limited sample of 148 unbarred S0-Sb galaxies were derived to study the correlations between bulge and disk parameters as well as the proba…
