TalkA new framework for investigating the evolution of Early Type Galaxies
I present a detailed analysis of the scaling relations of ETGs and suggest a way to predict the evolution of the distributions of galaxies in these planes. This...

TalkA step further in the Stellar Populations analysis of nearby galaxies: Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Using deep photometry SBFs have been traditionally used to determine galaxy distances. We have recentlycomputed SBF spectra of stellar populations at moderately...

TalkAn optical/NIR survey of globular clusters in early-type galaxies
The colour distribution of globular cluster (GC) systems in the majority of galaxies is bi/multimodal in optical colours. It is widely accepted that multiple...

TalkBar characterization from S4G imaging: Gaining insight into the secular evolution of disc galaxies
The ΛCDM model predicts that galaxies originate in dark matter haloes, undergoing in their early age a process of continuous merges with other galaxies that...

TalkCalar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey
CALIFA is the largest IFS survey ever performed up to date. Recently started, it will observe ~600 galaxies in the Local Universe with PPAK at the 3.5m of the...

TalkDark matter in early-type galaxies: a SAURON view
From galaxy formation theory we expect galaxies to be embedded in massive dark matter haloes. For spiral and dwarf galaxies this has indeed been observationally...

TalkDynamics of galaxies and globular clusters unraveled with two-dimensional kinematics
Two-dimensional stellar kinematics obtained with the integral-field spectrograph SAURON allow the classification of early-type galaxies into 'slow' and 'fast'...
