We define blue E/S0 galaxies as objects having a clear early-type morphology on the HST/ACS images but with a blue rest-frame color. We isolate this way 210 IAB 22 blue early-type galaxies with M* / Msun > 1010 in the COSMOS field located in three redshift bins (0.2 z 0.55, 0.55 z 0.8, 0.8 z 1.4) and study their properties (number density

We present an analysis of the surface brightness profiles of a sample of 435 late type galaxies with redshift extending up to z˜1. We have used imaging data from GOODS-South HST/ACS tep{Giavalisco04}. We have classified the profiles, obtained at a constant rest-frame wavelength (˜ B band), noting the existence and type of `breaks' in them. In the

Time series of images of a sunspot, acquired simultaneously in blue light and in G-band at the SVST, La Palma, are used to study horizontal motions of granules in the vicinity of the spot and evolution of penumbral grains (PGs) near the outer penumbral border. Local correlation tracking and feature tracking algorithms have been utilized for this

We study the evolution of super star cluster winds driven by stellar winds and supernova explosions. Time-dependent rates at which mass and energy are deposited into the cluster volume, as well as the time-dependent chemical composition of the re-inserted gas, are obtained from the population synthesis code Starburst99. These results are used as

Context. The Tully-Fisher relation represents a connection between fundamental galaxy parameters, such as its total mass and the mass locked in stars. Therefore, the study of the evolution of this relation in the optical and infrared bands can provide valuable information about the evolution of the individual galaxies through the changes found in

Hereby we present an exploratory study of the surface brightness radial profiles (μ-r profiles hereafter) of massive (M˜>109.5 M&sun;) disk galaxies in the redshift range 0 ˜ z ˜ 1. We use recently acquired images from HST-WFC3 in the H160 band, and archive data from SDSS-DR7, to trace the rest-frame z' band at all redshifts. The comparison of
