The distribution of star formation in galactic bars
Stellar bars are known to gradually funnel gas to the central parts of disk galaxies. But it remains a matter of debate why the distribution of ionized gas...
The Distribution of Star Formation in the Central Regions of Spiral Galaxies
Nuclear rings are characterized by their high star formation rates, and are believed to be the products of gas inflow towards the inner regions of spiral...
The Diverse Population of Small Bodies of the Solar System
Small bodies are rocky and/or icy objects, usually ranging in size from a few meters to a few hundreds of kilometers. They comprise near-Earth and main belt...
The dominant heating mechanism for the cool dust in luminous AGN: deep MIPS photometry of a complete sample of 2Jy radio sources
Given its general importance for studies of star formation at all redshifts, the issue of the heating mechanism for the warm/cool dust in luminous AGN is one of...
The Double-Barred Galaxy NGC 357: Kinematics and Stellar Populations
We have carried out a complete analysis of the kinematics and the stellar populations of the double-barred S0 galaxy NGC 357. We have measured suitable...
The double-dust chemistry phenomenon in PNe with [WC]-type central stars
We present preliminary conclusions derived from the analysis of a sample of galactic PNe with [WC]-type central stars (WCPNe) observed with Spitzer/IRS. We...
