In this contribution we present the first results of an theoretical attempt to address the question of the evacuation time-scale but also the star-formation...

The old stellar populations of the Milky Way carry the signature of their formation environment and dynamical history in their kinematics and chemical...

In this review I will tour through the most recent findings on the internal kinematic properties of Local Group dwarf galaxies, as determined from extensive...

In this review I will discuss the current status on determinations of the dark matter content and distribution in Milky Way dwarf spheroidals, for which the...

The gravitational lens SDSS J1004+4112 was the first discovered system where a background quasar is lensed by a galaxy cluster instead of a single galaxy. We...

Starforming galaxies with compact morphology and high optical luminosity (LBCGs) are very common at redshitfs z = 0.4 - 1.2. Those galaxies are believed to have...

We have found four barred S0 galaxies---NGC 936, NGC 3945, NGC 4340, and NGC 4371---which contain smooth, luminous, purely stellar nuclear rings within their...
