    Morpho-kinematic properties of field S0 bulges in the CALIFA survey
    We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral field spectroscopic (IFS) survey Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area. We combine an accurate...
  • Project
    Morphology and dynamics of the Milky Way
    This project consists of two parts, each differentiated but both complementary: morphology and dynamics. Detailed study of the morphology of the Milky Way...
  • Publication
    MOS spectroscopy of protocluster candidate galaxies at z = 6.5
    The epoch corresponding to a redshift of z ̃ 6.5 is close to full re-ionization of the Universe, and early enough to provide an intriguing environment to...

    Multi-wavelength Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of Stellar Populations in NGC 288
    We present new UV observations for NGC 288, taken with the WFC3 detector on board the Hubble Space Telescope, and combine them with existing optical data from...

    Multiband study of RX J0838-2827 and XMM J083850.4-282759: a new asynchronous magnetic cataclysmic variable and a candidate transitional millisecond pulsar
    In a search for the counterpart to the Fermi-LAT source 3FGL J0838.8-2829, we performed a multiwavelength campaign: in the X-ray band with Swift and XMM-Newton...

    Multiple Populations in Low-mass Globular Clusters: Palomar 13
    Since the discovery of chemically peculiar stars in globular clusters in the last century, the study of multiple populations has become increasingly important...
  • Publication
    Multiple Stellar Populations in 47 Tucanae
    We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based imaging to study the multiple populations of 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc), combining high-precision photometry with...
  • Publication
    Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters - III. The first evidence of an extended main sequence turn-off in a young cluster: NGC 1856
    Recent studies have shown that the extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) is a common feature of intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs)...
  • Publication
    Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters. II. Evidence also in the young NGC 1844?
    We used Hubble Space Telescope observations to study the young cluster NGC 1844 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We estimated the fraction and the mass...
