Stellar Feedback and the Evolution of Young Embedded Star Clusters
In this contribution we present the first results of an theoretical attempt to address the question of the evacuation time-scale but also the star-formation...
Stellar Kinematics and Chemical Abundances at the Thick-Disk/Halo Interface
The old stellar populations of the Milky Way carry the signature of their formation environment and dynamical history in their kinematics and chemical...
Stellar kinematics and dark matter in dwarf galaxies
In this review I will discuss the current status on determinations of the dark matter content and distribution in Milky Way dwarf spheroidals, for which the...
Stellar kinematics and dark matter in dwarf galaxies
In this review I will tour through the most recent findings on the internal kinematic properties of Local Group dwarf galaxies, as determined from extensive...
Stellar mass fraction and quasar accretion disk size in SDSS J1004+4112 from photometric follow-up
The gravitational lens SDSS J1004+4112 was the first discovered system where a background quasar is lensed by a galaxy cluster instead of a single galaxy. We...
Stellar masses of star-forming galaxies at 0.3 < z < 1.2 in the GOYA survey
Starforming galaxies with compact morphology and high optical luminosity (LBCGs) are very common at redshitfs z = 0.4 - 1.2. Those galaxies are believed to have...
Stellar Nuclear Rings in Barred Galaxies: Fossils of Past Circumnuclear Starbursts?
We have found four barred S0 galaxies---NGC 936, NGC 3945, NGC 4340, and NGC 4371---which contain smooth, luminous, purely stellar nuclear rings within their...
