    High-velocity clouds as dark matter in the Local Group
    The High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs) observed in the Galactic neighbourhood, have been proposed to be remnants of the formation of the galaxies in the Local Group...

    Homogeneity in the early chemical evolution of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy
    We present the high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of two new extremely metal-poor star (EMPS) candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans. These...

    Internal kinematics of dwarf satellites of MW/M31-like galaxies in TNG50
    We present a kinematic study of a thousand of dwarf satellites of MW/M31-like hosts from the IllustrisTNG50 simulation. Internal kinematics were derived for all...
