Description
We present a study of the morphology, kinematics and star formation of a
sample of 27 isolated spiral galaxies in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar
Structure in Galaxies (S4G), on the basis of Hα
Fabry-Perot (FP) data from the GHαFaS instrument at the William
Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, complemented with images at 3.6
micron from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and with images in the R-band
and in Hα taken with the ACAM instrument mounted on the WHT. With
the FP data we can investigate the gas kinematics in terms of velocity
maps and position-velocity diagrams, keys to constrain the secular
evolution processes. We can also analyse the morphology and compute the
star formation rate (SFR) with the ancillary data.

The basic objective of the broject is to investigate the evolution of galaxies by deepening our understanding of the interaction between the insterstellar medium and the stars.The main technique which we use is the two-dimensional kinematic study of whole galaxies observed using our instrument:GHaFaS, a Fabry-Perot interferometer on the William
