TalkA new framework for investigating the evolution of Early Type Galaxies
I present a detailed analysis of the scaling relations of ETGs and suggest a way to predict the evolution of the distributions of galaxies in these planes. This...

PublicationBlue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young...

PublicationBlue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies - II. Sculptor and Fornax
The existence of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) is still an open question. In fact, many BSS candidates have been observed in...

PublicationDynamical taxonomy of comets and asteroids based on the Lyapunov indicators. An analysis of the relevance of splitting
By comparison of different parameters associated with a chaotic evolution, we discuss the relation between several populations of inner Solar System bodies...

TalkDynamos, the drivers of solar and stellar activity
Following Cowling's anti-dynamo theorem of 1933, there was a long period during which the very existence of dynamos was unclear. Even with the emergence of...

PublicationEvolution of Stellar Bars in Live Axisymmetric Halos: Recurrent Buckling and Secular Growth
Evolution of stellar bars in disk galaxies is accompanied by dynamical instabilities and secular changes. Following the vertical buckling instability, the bars...
