    A new technique to constrain torus parameters using X-ray and mid-IR simultaneous fit
    In this talk, I present a new technique that explores the hypothesis that the structure producing the continuum emission at mid-IR and the reflection component...

    A Non-inflationary Signature in CMB Anisotropies
    The standard model of cosmology has been quite successful accounting for a broad range of data - at least until the past few years. But as the quality of...

    A numerical study of interactions and stellar bars
    In this seminar, I will present my latest work on interactions and stellar bars. For several decades it has been known that stellar bars in disc galaxies can be...

    A possible signature of terrestrial planet formation in the chemical composition of solar twins
    It has been recently shown that the chemical composition of the Sun is anomalous when compared to most nearby stars of very similar fundamental parameters, so...

    A search for supermassive binary black holes
    The detection and number estimates of supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) provide important constraints on the hierarchical models for galaxy formation and...

    A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE
    We are currently conducting a survey of 25 Galactic globular clusters with MUSE, the panoramic integral-field spectrograph at the ESO VLT. Although the...

    A systematic search for highly-evolved post period-minimum cataclysmic variables. The case of SSS J122221.7-311525 - the most-evolved CV known to date
    According to standard evolutionary theory, cataclysmic variables (CV) evolve from longer to shorter orbital periods until a minimum period P_min is reached. The...

    A tale of a galaxy cluster: unraveling the formation of RX J0152.7-1357
    Galaxy clusters are the perfect places to study both the always controversial nature vs nurture problem and the still not well understood evolution that...

    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...
