Overview of the Near-IR S0 Galaxy Survey (NIRS0S)
An overview of the results of the near-IR S0 galaxy survey (NIRS0S) is presented. NIRS0S is a magnitude- (mB⩽12.5 mag) and inclination- (<65∘) limited sample of ̃200 nearby galaxies, mainly S0s, but includes also Sa and E galaxies. It uses deep Ks-band images, typically reaching a surface brightn...
