    A tale of globular clusters formation and evolution. The case of the old, metal-poor globular cluster NGC4372

    I will talk about our current understanding of globular cluster (GC) formation and what we have yet to learn about them. I will particularly focus on the...

    Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey

    CALIFA is the largest IFS survey ever performed up to date. Recently started, it will observe ~600 galaxies in the Local Universe with PPAK at the 3.5m of the...

    Compact Galaxies and Super Massive Black Holes

    Most massive galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centres, and the masses of the black holes correlate with properties of the host-galaxy bulge...

    IAU G5 talk: Stellar chemical compositions with 3D non-LTE models

    Spectroscopic analyses of stellar chemical compositions are model-dependent, and shortcomings in the models often limit the accuracy of the final results. For...
