    The Chemical Enrichment History of the Small Magellanic Cloud and its Gradients
    We present stellar metallicities derived from Ca II triplet spectroscopy in over 350 red giant branch stars in 13 fields distributed in different positions in...

    The chemical evolution of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans
    We present our analysis of the FLAMES dataset targeting the central 25' region of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). This dataset is the third major...
  • Publication
    The chemo-dynamical groups of Galactic globular clusters
    We introduce a multicomponent chemo-dynamical method for splitting the Galactic population of globular clusters (GCs) into three distinct constituents: bulge...

    The Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton: Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at the Endpoint of structure formation. I. Programme overview
    The Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton - Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at the Endpoint of structure formation (CHEX-MATE) is a three-mega-second Multi...

    The Cocoon nebula and its ionizing star: do stellar and nebular abundances agree?
    Context. Main-sequence massive stars embedded in an H ii region should have the same chemical abundances as the surrounding nebular gas+dust. The Cocoon nebula...
  • Publication
    The colliding-wind binary HD 168112
    Context. Radio surveys of early-type stars have revealed a number of non-thermal emitters. Most of these have been shown to be binaries, where the collision...

    The complex structure of HH 110 as revealed from Integral Field Spectroscopy
    HH 110 is a rather peculiar HerbigHaro object in Orion that originates due to the deflection of another jet (HH 270) by a dense molecular clump, instead of...
  • Publication
    The computation of interstellar extinction in photoionized nebulae
    Context. The proper plasma analysis practice (PPAP) method has been proposed to analyze spectroscopic data of ionized nebulae. The method is based on a coherent...
  • Publication
    The contribution of N-rich stars to the Galactic stellar halo using APOGEE red giants
    The contribution of dissolved globular clusters (GCs) to the stellar content of the Galactic halo is a key constraint on models for GC formation and destruction...
