We present a study of galaxy mergers and the influence of environment in the Abell 901/902 supercluster at z similar to 0.165, based on 893 bright (R(Vega) <= 24) intermediate-mass (M(*) >= 10(9) M(circle dot)) galaxies. ...

Within the hierarchical framework for galaxy formation, minor merging and tidal interactions are expected to shape all large galaxies to the present day. As a consequence, most seemingly normal disk galaxies should be ...

We present a study of bar and host disk evolution in a dense cluster environment, based on a sample of similar to 800 bright (M-V <= -18) galaxies in the Abell 901/2 supercluster at z similar to 0.165. We use Hubble Space ...

Using the VIMOS integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope, we have spatially mapped the kinematic properties of 10 nearby brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and 4 BCG companion galaxies located ...
