    Exploring the Stellar Age Distribution of the Milky Way Bulge Using APOGEE

    We present stellar age distributions of the Milky Way bulge region using ages for ∼6000 high-luminosity ( $\mathrm{log}(g)\lt 2.0$ ), metal-rich ([Fe/H] ≥ -0.5)...

    From Naked Spheroids to Disky Galaxies: How Do Massive Disk Galaxies Shape Their Morphology?

    We investigate the assembly history of massive disk galaxies and describe how they shape their morphology through cosmic time. Using SHARDS and HST data, we...
