Quantitative characterization of galaxy morphology is vital in enabling comparison of observations to predictions from galaxy formation theory. However, without significant...

Using the data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Gaia satellite, we assemble a pure sample of ~3000 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars with 7D information, including...

We present broad-band photometry of 11 planetary transits of the hot Jupiter WASP-74 b, using three medium-class telescopes and employing the telescope-defocusing technique....

In the SSA22 field which exhibits a large-scale proto-cluster at z=3.1, we carried out a spectroscopic survey for Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) with the VLT/VIMOS and identified...

We analyse the 476 SN Ia host galaxies from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernova (ASAS-SN) Bright Supernova Catalogues to determine the observed relative Type Ia supernova...

Using stellar population models, we predicted that the Dark Energy Survey (DES) - due to its special combination of area (5000deg^2^) and depth (i=24.3) - would be in the...

We present results from photometric and spectroscopic data obtained with SOAR and Gemini observatory facilities in the field of a recently discovered star cluster. The cluster,...

We aim at defining homogeneous selection criteria of small galaxy systems in order to build catalogues suitable to compare main properties of pairs, triplets, and groups with...

We present a sample of 329 low-to intermediate-redshift (0.05<z<0.3) brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in X-ray-selected clusters from the SPectroscopic IDentification of...

The Coma supercluster (100h^-1^Mpc) offers an unprecedented contiguous range of environments in the nearby Universe. In this paper, we present a catalogue of spectroscopically...

We present an extensive compendium of photometrically determined structural properties for all Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field spectroscopy Area (CALIFA)galaxies in the third...

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey measured the redshifts of over 200000 ultraviolet (UV)-selected (N_UV_<22.8mag) galaxies on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The survey detected...

We describe data release 3 (DR3) of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. The GAMA survey is a spectroscopic redshift and multiwavelength photometric survey in three...

We study the classification and composite spectra of galaxies in the fourth data release (DR4) of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST). We...

We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral field spectroscopic (IFS) survey Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area. We combine an accurate two-dimensional...

We have selected a sample of 41 extremely isolated galaxies (EIGs) from the local Universe using both optical and HI Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey redshifts. Narrow-band...

Taking advantage of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe82 data, we have explored the spatial distribution of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) within an area of 8x8Mpc^2^ centred...

White dwarfs with metal lines in their spectra act as signposts for post-main-sequence planetary systems. Searching the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 12, we have...

Based on spectroscopy and multiband wide-field observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar HE 0435-1223, we determine the probability distribution function of the external...

We study the influence of environment on the structure of disc galaxies, using IMFIT to measure the g- and r-band structural parameters of the surface-brightness profiles for...
