    Globular cluster systems of six shell galaxies
    Context: .Shells in Elliptical Galaxies are faint, sharp-edged features, believed to provide evidence of a recent (˜ 0.5 - 2 × 109 years ago) merger event. We...

    Globular clusters as a dynamical probe of dark matter
    Gravitational dynamical friction affecting the orbits of globular clusters (GCs) was studied extensively as a possible formation mechanism for nuclear star...

    Globular Clusters in Virgo Ellipticals: Unexpected Results for Giants and Dwarfs from Advanced Camera for Surveys Imaging
    We have analyzed archival Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys images in g and z of the globular cluster (GC) systems of 53 ellipticals in the...

    Globular clusters systems and their host dark matter halos
    In the Λ-CDM galaxy formation paradigm, the star formation history of a galaxy is coupled to the total mass of its dark matter halo through processes like...

    GTC spectroscopic study of stellar clusters in M81
    The nearby spiral galaxy M81 contains a population of 3 kinds of stellar clusters - super star clusters, globular clusters and fuzzy clusters. Over the past few...

    H α morphologies of star clusters: a LEGUS study of H II region evolution time-scales and stochasticity in low-mass clusters
    The morphology of H II regions around young star clusters provides insight into the time-scales and physical processes that clear a cluster's natal gas. We...

    Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351
    We use 0.1″ observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and JWST to study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their...

    High resolution IR observations of the starburst ring in NGC 7552. One ring to rule them all?
    Aims: Approximately 20% of all spiral galaxies display starburst activity in nuclear rings of a few hundred parsecs in diameter. It is our main aim to...
