Description
We present results of our combined X-ray and optical study of NGC 2451, which actually consists of two different stellar clusters situated along the same line-of-sight at distances of 190 and 360 pc, respectively. Based on ROSAT X-ray observations and on our extensive optical CCD BVR-photometry we are able to identify 113 stars down to spectral class M as member candidates of the two NGC 2451 clusters. Their general X-ray properties are consistent with an age in the range 50 to 100 Myrs. The nearer of the two clusters is especially interesting since it ranks among the ten nearest clusters and is supposed to be of lower metallicity than solar.

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies
