A Sauron Study of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Dwarf elliptical galaxies are the most common galaxy type in nearby galaxy clusters, yet they remain relatively poorly studied objects and many of their basic...
A SAURON Study of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster: Kinematics and Stellar Populations
Dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs) are the most common galaxy type in nearby galaxy clusters; even so, many of their basic properties have yet to be quantified...
We present results from our ongoing effort to understand the morphological and kinematical properties of early-type galaxies using the integral-field...
Double bars might be the key mechanisms to transport gas to the very central regions of galaxies, so double-barred galaxies are key objects to better understand...
A Search for Brown Dwarfs in the Alpha Persei Cluster
We present preliminary results from a deep near-infrared survey of a ˜ 1 square degree area in the young open cluster Alpha Persei using the wide-field Omega...
A search for circumbinary planets in CoRoT eclipsing binary light curves
Several transiting circumbinary planets have been found in data of the Kepler mission [1-5]. Both CoRoT and Kepler have surveyed similar numbers of stars, and...
A Search for EHB Pulsators in the Globular Cluster NGC 6752
We describe the status of a project whose main goal is to detect variability along the extreme horizontal branch of the globular cluster NGC 6752. Based on...
