Galactic structure from the Two Micron Galactic Survey
The Two Micron Galactic Survey (TMGS) is the most sensitive large scale point source near infrared survey of the Galactic Plane yet attempted. The Galactic...
Galactic Warp in the Overdensity of the Canis Major Region
Bellazzini et al. (2006b) claim that Lopez-Corredoira et al.'s (2002) warp model is totally unable to reproduce the Canis Major structure in the red clump stars...
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...
