Recent Star Formation in the Wolf-Rayet BCDG MRK 1094
We present preliminary results on high resolution Hα imaging of the Wolf-Rayet blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCDG) Mrk 1094. This galaxy presents a bar-shape...
Relative ages of Galactic globular clusters. Clues to the Milky Way formation time scales
Based on observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), I will present accurate relative ages for a sample of 64 Galactic globular clusters. This...
Relative lithium abundances in pre-main-sequence spectroscopic binaries
We present a study of the lithium abundance of five pre-main sequence (PMS) double-lined binaries. These binaries are composed of weak-lined T Tauri stars...
Relatively young thick disks in star-forming late-type galaxies
Aims. We trace the evolution of eight edge-on star-forming disk galaxies by analyzing stellar population properties of their thin and thick disks. These...
Rendezvous in CAVITY: Kinematics and gas properties of an isolated dwarf-dwarf merging pair in a cosmic void region
Context. Galaxy mergers are pivotal events in the evolutionary history of galaxies, with their impact believed to be particularly significant in dwarf galaxies...
Resolving the kinematical structure within the nuclear starburst of NGC 253
We present high spectral and spatial resolution spectroscopy of the nuclear starburst region of the galaxy NGC 253. Two slit positions, matching the major and...
Revised Parameter Estimates For The Most Metal-Poor Candidates In SDSS-I And SEGUE
There are several hundred thousand R = 2000 stellar spectra reported in the final public release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I) and the continuing...
Role of ISM/IGM Energy Balance in Structure Formation and Evolution of Galaxies
Investigating the thermal and non-thermal processes in galaxies is vital to understand their evolution over cosmic time. This can best be studied by combining...
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Spatial Evolution of Star Formation Triggered by Galaxy Interactions
Galaxy interaction is considered a key driver of galaxy evolution and star formation (SF) history. In this paper, we present an empirical picture of the radial...
