    On the age of the Milky Way bulge stellar population
    The Milky Way (MW) galaxy is not much different from its faraway cousins. However, our position within the MW allows us to study the properties of its stellar...

    On the evolution of rotation and magnetism from solar-like stars to red giants using Kepler data
    More than 40 years ago, Skumanich (1972) showed how rotation and magnetic activity decreased with the age of a solar-like star. While this result was based on...

    On the extreme properties of massive galaxies at high redshifts
    Massive (&#8805 10 11 M⊙) galaxies at high redshift (z &#8805 1.5) remain mysterious objects. Their extremely small sizes (effective radii of 1-2 kpc) make them...

    On the fate of the most massive stars
    Radiation-driven mass loss largely determines the life expectancy of massive stars. I will present our most recent mass-loss predictions for massive stars...

    On the invention of the telescope and the paintings of Jan Brueghel
    Jan Brueghel depicted telescopes in four paintings spanning the period between 1609 and 1621. We have investigated the nature and the origin of these telescopes...
