We test the capability of several methods to identify and characterise the warping of the stellar disc of our Galaxy in the Gaia era. We have developed a first...
This book covers normal galaxies, distant galaxies, studies based on far-infrared diagnostics, quasar absorption lines, and the properties of nearby galaxies...
Galaxies at z>7: Probing galaxy formation with the new generation of NIR Instruments
We present the results obtained from our deep survey of lensing clusters aimed at constraining the abundance of star-forming galaxies at z ˜ 6-11. Lensing...
Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient...
The last decade has seen an amazing transformation in our ideas about the central bulges of disk galaxies. We are probably only half-way through this change. In...
