The detailed study of the different structural components of nearby galaxies can supply vital information about the secular, or internal, evolution of these...
Secular Evolution of Bulges Induced by Satellite Accretion
Satellite accretion events have been invoked for mimicking the internal secular evolutionary processes of bulge growth tep{Kormendy04}. In order to investigate...
Secular evolution of stellar bars, vertical instabilities and starbursts
Vertical instabilities, buckling, in stellar bars weaken and shorten the bar. This can interrupt the bar-induced gas inflow into the central kpc of a galaxy for...
Secular measurements of the solar gravitational redshift (1976 - 2011)
The solar spectrophotometer "Mark-I", located at the Observatorio del Teide and continuously operated for the latest 36, provides a high precision measurement...
SED fitting of nearby galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey
We compute UV to radio continuum spectral energy distributions of 51 nearby galaxies recently observed with SPIRE onboard Herschel and present infrared colours...
