Descripción
We describe multi-color observations with NICMOS and WFPC2 of 20 nuclei of nearby galactic bulges of types S0-Sbc. We find that the centers of 19 out of 20 bulges are found to be dusty, with average extinction A_V between 0.6 and 0.9 mag. Our second result is that the stellar populations of galactic bulges of type S0-Sb show a very tight B-I vs. I-H relation, suggesting that the age spread among bulges of early-type spirals is small (at most about 2-3 Gyr).

    Constraining atmospheric evaporation timescales on young planets with systematic H and He transmission observations
    During the early stages of planetary formation, planets undergo strong changes in their physical and orbital properties due to internal and external forces, which also affect their primordial atmospheres composed mainly of H and He. The study of planets in these early stages and their comparison with the more mature planet population is crucial for

    Bar pattern speeds across the Hubble Sequence
    Bars are ellipsoidal-like structures that appears in the inner regions of a large fraction of discs of galaxies. Bars universal features present at all galactic masses, morphological types and across the Hubble time. Stars forming bars follow elongated orbits aligned with the bar major-axis. These barred structures rotate as a coherent structure

    Confronting Dark Matter Models with Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxies
    Dwarf irregular galaxies, due to their lower masses, relative isolation, and high-quality data availability, are ideal laboratories to test various models of dark matter. In particular, the existence, morphology and formation of central cores in dwarf galaxies has been a contentious issue in the literature in light of apparent tensions with the
