Study of the growth of massive galaxies based on their outer stellar populations
Abstract
The outskirts of early-type galaxies (ETGs) play a key role to shed light on the mass assembly of galaxies. Deep imaging has become one of the main tools to study these regions, however artificial halos caused by bright sources hampers the photometric analysis. To get around the problem, extended PSFs are built and deconvolution is performed on images.
