This is the first paper of a series presenting a Spheroids Panchromatic Investigation in Different Environmental Regions (SPIDER). The sample of spheroids consists of 5,080 bright (Mr<-20) Early-Type galaxies (ETGs), in the redshift range of 0.05 to 0.095, with optical (griz) photometry and spectroscopy from SDSS-DR6 and Near-Infrared (YJHK) photometry from UKIDSS-LAS (DR4). We describe how homogeneous photometric parameters (galaxy colors and structural parameters) are derived using grizYJHK wavebands. We find no systematic steepening of the CM relation when probing the baseline from g-r to g-K, implying that internal color gradients drive most of the mass-metallicity relation in ETGs. As far as structural parameters are concerned we find that the mean effective radius of ETGs smoothly decreases, by ~30%, from g through K, while no significant dependence on waveband is detected for the axis ratio, Sersic index, and a4 parameters. Also, velocity dispersions are re-measured for all the ETGs using STARLIGHT and compared to those obtained by SDSS. We compare our (2DPHOT) measurements of total magnitude, effective radius, and mean surface brightness with those obtained as part of the SDSS pipeline (Photo). Significant differences are found and reported, including comparisons with a third and independent part. A full characterization of the sample completeness in all wavebands is presented, establishing the limits of application of the characteristic parameters presented here for the analysis of the global scaling relations of ETGs.
We present a complete analysis of the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby universe. The sample, as defined in paper I, comprises 39,993 ETGs located in environments covering the entire domain in local density (from field to
We analyse the Fundamental Plane (FP) relation of $39,993$ early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the optical (griz) and $5,080$ ETGs in the Near-Infrared (YJHK) wavebands, forming an optical$+$NIR sample of $4,589$ galaxies. We focus on the analysis of the F
Radio halos are synchrotron diffuse sources at the centre of a fraction of galaxy clusters. The study of large samples of clusters with adequate radio and X-ray data is necessary to investigate the origin of radio halos and their connection with the
We present Herschel observations of the Fornax cluster at 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500u with a spatial resolution of 7 - 36 arc sec (10 = 1 kpc at d_Fornax=17.9 Mpc). We define a sample of 11 bright galaxies, selected at 500u, directly comparable with
This is the first in a series of papers studying the astrophysics and cosmology of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Here we present a new, automated method for identifying relaxed clusters based on their morphologies in X-ray imaging dat
