Description
In the era of big surveys, integral-field units (IFUs) are starting to emerge as one of the most popular instruments to carry out forefront astronomy on large sets of objects and/or large portions of the sky. In this contribution I will highlight some of the most important efforts conducted with this kind of instrumentation, with emphasis on the role the CALIFA survey is playing in our understanding of the nearby Universe. I will focus on results related to the distribution of the angular momentum across the Hubble sequence as a way to unveil different pathways in the evolution of galaxies.

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
