Description
We present some global results of the PhD thesis research carried out by López-Sánchez (2006), in which a detailed morphological, photometric and spectroscopic analysis of a sample of 20 Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies was carried out. The main aims are the study of the star formation and O and WR stellar populations in these galaxies, and the role that interactions between low surface companion objects have in the triggering of the bursts. We analyze the morphology, stellar populations, physical conditions, chemical abundances, and kinematics of the ionized gas, as well as the star formation activity of each system.

    Ultra-deep imaging of M33: exploring its stellar halo with broad band imaging for the first time
    The star counting technique by the PAndAS survey reveals that M33 is undergoing a tidal interaction with its massive neighbor, M31. Due to this interaction, the stellar halo of M33 shows faint tidal features. These features are only visible at extremely low surface brightness levels (i.e. >30 mag/arcsec^2). For this reason, M33 is a perfect test

    Overview of the HARMONI integral field spectrograph for the ELT - Insights into Galaxy Evolution and AGN
    The High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph (HARMONI) is a first generation instrument designed for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). HARMONI offers operational versatility, enabling both seeing-limited (NOAO) operation and compensation for atmospheric optical turbulence using two systems: Single
