    The formation of super-star clusters in disk and dwarf galaxies
    Super-star clusters are probably the largest star-forming entities in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars usually...

    The Fornax 3D project: Globular clusters tracing kinematics and metallicities
    Globular clusters (GCs) are found ubiquitously in massive galaxies and due to their old ages, they are regarded as fossil records of galaxy evolution...
  • Publication
    The Fornax 3D project: Non-linear colour-metallicity relation of globular clusters
    Globular cluster (GC) systems of massive galaxies often show a bimodal colour distribution. This has been interpreted as a metallicity bimodality, created by a...

    The Gaia-ESO Survey: chemical signatures of rocky accretion in a young solar-type star
    It is well known that newly formed planetary systems undergo processes of orbital reconfiguration and planetary migration. As a result, planets or...

    The galaxy-wide initial mass function of dwarf late-type to massive early-type galaxies
    Observational studies are showing that the galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function (IMF) is top-heavy in galaxies with high star formation rates (SFRs)...

    The GeMS/GSAOI Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (G4CS). I. A Pilot Study of the Stellar Populations in NGC 2298 and NGC 3201
    We present the first results from the GeMS/GSAOI Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (G4CS) of the Milky Way globular clusters NGC 3201 and NGC 2298. Using the...

    The globular cluster kinematics and galaxy dark matter content of NGC 4649 (M60)
    From observations with the GMOS multislit spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, we have obtained spectra for 39 globular cluster (GC) candidates in the...

    The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - X. Nuclear star clusters in low-mass early-type galaxies: scaling relations
    We present scaling relations between structural properties of nuclear star clusters and their host galaxies for a sample of early-type dwarf galaxies observed...
  • Publication
    The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey. IV. Intergalactic Globular Clusters and the Massive Globular Cluster System at the Core of the Coma Galaxy Cluster
    Intracluster stellar populations are a natural result of tidal interactions in galaxy clusters. Measuring these populations is difficult, but important for...
