We have in recent years come to view the outer parts of galaxies as having vital clues about their formation and evolution. Here, we would like to briefly present our results from a complete sample of nearby, late-type, spiral galaxies, using data from the SDSSsurvey, especially focused on the stellar light distribution in the outer disk. Our

Based on optical data we propose a dynamycal model for A115. From spatial and radial velocity distributions we find three massive subsclusters that configure a pre-merging scenario. On this basis, we discuss on the origin of the radio emission and its correlation with X-rays.

The Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be equipped with an Integral Field Unit (IFU) which will allow the two-dimensional spectral characterization of astronomical objects with unprecedented depths, especially in the 2-5 micron wavelength range. In particular, NIRSpec-IFU observations of high

SPIRE, the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver, is one of three instruments to fly on the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory. It contains a three-band imaging photometer operating at 250, 350 and 500 μm, and an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer covering 194-672 μm. The SPIRE detectors are arrays of feedhorn-coupled
