Elmer is a multi-purpose instrument for the GTC designed for both Imaging and Spectroscopy in the visible range (365-1000 nm). Imaging will be done in a 4.2' circular Field of View (FOV), through standard SDSS broad band filters (g', r', I', and z') as well as narrow band filters (Hα broad, Hα narrow, Hβ, [OI], [OII], [OIII], [SII] broad, and [SII]

EMIR Associate Science Team (EAST) is a scientific group in charge of developing an observing program complementary to that of GOYA, which might serve as a testing bed for all the kinds of science that EMIR can do. Hence EAST puts the emphasis on developing proposals which will exploit the most diverse capabilities of the spectrograph.

EMIR (Balcells et al. 2000) is a near-infrared wide-field camera and multi-object spectrograph being built for the GTC. The Data Reduction Pipeline (DRP) will be optimized for handling and reducing near-infrared data acquired with EMIR.

The chronology of bulge and disk formation is a major unsolved issue in galaxy formation, which impacts on our global understanding of the Hubble sequence. We present colors of the nuclear regions of intermediate-redshift disk galaxies, with the aim of obtaining empirical information of ages of bulges at 0.1 < z < 1.3.
