    Structure, kinematics and chemical enrichment patterns after major gas-rich disc-disc mergers
    We used an N-body smoothed particle hydrodynamics algorithm, with a detailed treatment of star formation, supernovae feedback and chemical enrichment, to...
  • Publication
    Study of star-forming galaxies in SDSS up to redshift 0.4. I. Metallicity evolution
    Context: The chemical composition of the gas in galaxies over cosmic time provides a very important tool for understanding galaxy evolution. Although there are...

    Study of star-forming galaxies in SDSS up to redshift 0.4. II. Evolution from the fundamental parameters: mass, metallicity and star formation rate
    Context. To understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, it is important to have a full comprehension of the role played by metallicity, star formation...
  • Publication
    Study of stellar populations in the bulges of barred galaxies
    Aims: We wish to determine the influence of bars on the building of galaxy bulges through analysis of ages and metallicities derived from stellar absorption...
  • Publication
    Study of the Extended Narrow-Line Region in the Host Galaxy of the Lensed QSO 2237+0305 (z = 1.69)
    The detection of spatially extended line emission in multiply imaged QSOs offers a new possibility to study the properties (kinematics and structure) of the...
  • Publication
    Study of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy from the DART Ca II triplet survey
    We use Very Large Telescope (VLT)/Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) intermediate-resolution (R˜ 6500) spectra of individual red giant branch...
  • Publication
    Study of the thermal and nonthermal emission components in M 31: the Sardinia Radio Telescope view at 6.6 GHz
    Context. The Andromeda galaxy is the best-known large galaxy besides our own Milky Way. Several images and studies exist at all wavelengths from radio to hard X...
  • Publication
    Study of the variable broadband emission of Markarian 501 during the most extreme Swift X-ray activity
    Context. Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray blazar located at z = 0.034, which is regularly monitored by a wide range of multi...

    Studying old populations with RR Lyrae Variables in the Local Group
    We want to study the characteristics and the physical extent of the old populations in a sample of Local Group galaxies in different environments, from the dSph...
