Abstract

In this paper i briefly summarize the works of the Padova research group WINGS to which i belong. Two main topics are discussed: the WINGS project and a subproject about a particular kind of galaxies: the Jellyfish galaxies. I present the results from the U-band observations done at the Bok Telescope at Kitt Peak in Arizona, the OmegaWINGS survey and the first data about jellyfish galaxies.
