The evolution of galaxies during the first billion years.
Evolution of galaxies is relatively well known up to z ~ 5, but beyond this limit and regarding the few number of galaxies confirmed by spectroscopy, their...
The Evolution of Massive Stars towards their Death: Rotation, Binarity and Mergers.
Although they are rare and short-lived, massive stars play a major role in Universe. With their large luminosities, strong stellar winds and spectacular...
The Evolution of quiescent galaxies at high-z: towards the high-mass end of the GSMF
In this talk we will show the evolution of high-redshift (z≥ 1.4) quiescent galaxies in the COSMOS field. We have studied an IRAC (mag 3.6 μm < 22.0) selected...
The evolution of the human vision and the impact on astronomy
The evolution of human vision is linked directly to our perception of the world around us, and therefore also associated with the development of astronomical...
The exo-planet obliquity as a fingerprint of planetary formation and evolution
The angle between the stellar spin axis and the orbital planetary angular momentum of a planet, also referred to as the obliquity of the system, is a matter of...
The Extragalactic Background Light: Connecting Classical and High Energy Astronomy
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the second most energetic diffuse background that fills our Universe. It is produced by star formation processes and...
The First Axionic Dark Matter Simulations for the "no-WIMP Era"
I will describe cosmological simulations of Axion-like Dark Matter, motivated by string theory, providing a well motivated cold dark matter alternative to the...
Predicted by General Relativity, black holes pose challenging and thorny questions to our knowledge of the Universe and cosmic structure formation. Just less...
The fourth Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and the scientific prospects of the repaired HST
The Hubble Space Telescope has been given new life with the successful Servicing Mission 4 (SM4). The goal of each servicing mission to the telescope has been...
