    A Duality in the Origin of Bulges and Spheroidal Galaxies

    Studying the resolved stellar populations of the different structural components that build massive galaxies directly unveils their assembly history. We aim at...

    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...

    Physically Motivated Fit to Mass Surface Density Profiles Observed in Galaxies

    Polytropes have gained renewed interest because they account for several seemingly disconnected observational properties of galaxies. Here we study whether...
