TalkGlobular cluster systems and the origin of early-type dwarfs in Virgo
Early-type dwarfs (dEs) are by far the most abundant galaxy population in nearby clusters. Whether these objects are primordial, or recent end-products of the...

TalkKinematics and stellar population gradients as fingerprints of past mergers in elliptical galaxies
The formation and evolution of early-type galaxies constitutes a long-standing and crucial problem in cosmology. In all hierarchical clustering models within a...

TalkKinematics and stellar populations in the outer halos of early type galaxies
Stellar halos of galaxies offer an important laboratory to understand the galaxies’ formation process and evolution. In fact, the dynamic time scale in the...

TalkProbing black hole-galaxy co-evolution from de-biased scaling relations
It has been claimed for decades that almost all galaxies in the local Universe host at their centre a supermassive black hole (SMBH) the mass of which appears...

TalkQuantification of bar strength and the structure of galaxies
Bars are important engines for the evolution of structure in galaxies. Bars can cause secular evolution of both the gas and stellar distributions in galaxies...
