At intermediate redshifts, many galaxies seem to be perturbed or suffering from an interaction. Considering that disk galaxies may have formed and evolved through minor mergers or through major mergers, it is important to understand the mechanisms at play during each type of merger in order to be able to establish the outcome of such an event. In some cases, only the use of both morphological and kinematical information can disentangle the actual configuration of an encounter at intermediate redshift. In this work, we present the morphological and kinematical analysis of a system at z=0.74 in order to understand its configuration, interacting stage and evolution. Using the integral field spectrograph GIRAFFE, long-slit spectroscopy by FORS2 and direct optical images from the HST-ACS and ISAAC near-infrared images, we disentangle the morphology of this system, its star-formation history and its extended kinematics in order to propose a possible configuration for the system. Numerical simulations are used to test different interacting scenarii. We identify this system as a face-on disk galaxy with a very bright bar in interaction with a smaller companion with a mass ratio of 3:1. The relevance of kinematical information and the constraints it imposes on the interpretation of the observations of distant galaxies is particularly strengthened in this case. This object is amongst the best example on how one may misinterpret morphology in the absence of kinematical information.
An $m=1$ lopsided asymmetry is common in disc galaxies. Here, we investigate the excitation of an $m=1$ lopsidedness in host galaxies during minor mergers (mass ratio 1:10) while choosing a set of minor merger models (with varying orbital configurati
The majority of planetary nebulae (PNe) show axisymmetric morphologies, whose causes are not well understood. In this work, we present spatially resolved kinematic observations of 14 Galactic PNe surrounding Wolf-Rayet ([WR]) and weak emission-line s
We compare the surface brightness-inclination relation for a sample of COSMOS pure disk galaxies at z~0.7 with an artificially redshifted sample of SDSS disks well matched to the COSMOS sample in terms of rest-frame photometry and morphology, as well
We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) survey CALIFA. We combine an accurate two-dimensional (2D) multi-component photometric decomposition with the IFS kinematic properties of their bulges to unders
MS$,$0451.6$-$0305 is a rich galaxy cluster whose strong lensing is particularly prominent at submm wavelengths. We combine new SCUBA-2 data with imaging from Herschel SPIRE and PACS and HST in order to try to understand the nature of the sources bei
