Scaling from the empirical metal yield as measured in clusters of galaxies, it is inferred that early in the evolution of the Galaxy the bulge stellar population has produced $sim 10^9msun$ of metals, at least 5 times more than the total metal content of the bulge today. It is argued that an early galactic wind from the starbursting bulge has pre-enriched a vast region around it, with these metals being able to enrich to $sim 1/10$ solar of order of $5times 10^{11}msun$ of pristine material. From the empirical evidence that bulges come before disks, it is inferred that the Milky Way disk formed out of this pre-enriched material, which accounts for the scarcity of metal poor stars in the solar neighborhood, the so-called `G-Dwarf Problem. High redshift observations are now becoming able to efficiently explore the $1.2lsim zlsim 3$ region of the universe, when disk formation and morphological differentiation may have taken place.
We investigate in detail 13 early-type field galaxies with 0.2<z<0.7 drawn from the FORS Deep Field. Since the majority (9 galaxies) is at z~0.4, we compare the field galaxies to 22 members of three rich clusters with z=0.37 to explore possible varia
We have compiled a sample of early-type cluster galaxies from 0 < z < 1.3 and measured the evolution of their ellipticity distributions. Our sample contains 487 galaxies in 17 z>0.3 clusters with high quality space-based imaging and a comparable samp
The last decade has seen apparent dramatic progress in large spectroscopic datasets aimed at the study of the Galactic bulge. We consider remaining problems that appear to be intractable with the existing data, including important issues such as whet
The first long-baseline ALMA campaign resolved the disk around the young star HL Tau into a number of axisymmetric bright and dark rings. Despite the very young age of HL Tau these structures have been interpreted as signatures for the presence of (p
We present deep B- and R-band surface photometry for a sample of 21 galaxies with morphological types between S0 and Sab. We present radial profiles of surface brightness, colour, ellipticity, position angle and deviations of axisymmetry for all gala
