Spectroscopic analysis of stellar populations is widely used to understand the history of many systems including globular clusters, nuclear star clusters, dwarf...

The ultra-deep multiwavelength HST Frontier Fields coverage of the Abell Cluster 2744 is used to derive the stellar population properties of its intra-cluster...

(1) Stellar magnetic fields. Spectro-polarimetry is a very powerful tool to diagnose magnetic fields in a large variety of astrophysical objects. My research...

Nowadays, it is widely accepted that most galaxies undergo an active phase in their evolution. The impact of the energy released by active galactic nuclei (AGN)...

The formation and evolution of early-type galaxies constitutes a long-standing and crucial problem in cosmology. In all hierarchical clustering models within a...

The origin of the galaxies represents an important focus of current cosmological research, both observational and theoretical. Its resolution involves a...

Superthin galaxies are bulgeless, late-type spiral galaxies seen edge-on. HI synthesis observations probe the kinematic structure of their interstellar medium...

Models of galaxy formation predict that gas accretion from the cosmic web is a primary driver of star formation over cosmic history. Except in very dense...

We present the results of our systematic search for optically elusive, but intrinsically luminous buried AGNs in >100 nearby (z 0.3) luminous infrared galaxies...
