Scientific paper

We present initial results from our VIMOS IFU study of galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Large fibre-based surveys like SDSS have made a major contribution to our understanding of processes that shape galaxies. The SDSS results, however, are derived from integrated properties over the area of the fibre. As the angular extent of galaxies is usually considerably larger than the fibre diameter, the SDSS results are biased toward the nuclear properties of galaxies. By contrast, data obtained with an Integral Field Unit (IFU) are free of aperture bias.
