Disk galaxies seen with the Spitzer telescope 2011-09-27
- Speaker : Dr. Johan H. Knapen (Instituto deAstrof´ısica deCanarias)

- Location :
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) uses
mid-infrared imaging with the Spitzer Space Telescope to trace the stellar
structure in a large sample of over 2300 local galaxies. The images are
very deep and cover a large area. I will describe the progress of the
project, and present examples of scientific results being obtained, on
topics as varied as galaxy morphology, dark matter, and cosmological disk
formation.
In this seminar, I will also briefly introduce the Astrophysical Institute
of the Canary Islands (IAC) and its observatories on Tenerife and La
Palma.
