    Looking for the traces of the early Universe in the Fornax dSph galaxy
    We present the full Star Formation History as a function of radius of the Fornax dSph galaxy. We also present the preliminary results of the spatial...

    Low deuterium abundance in the z_abs=3.514 absorber towards APM 08279+5255
    {A high-resolution, high signal-to-noise HIRES-Keck spectrum of APM 08279+5255 reveals a feature in the HI Lyalpha profile of the z_abs=3.514 absorber at the...

    Low optical polarization at the core of the optically thin jet of M87
    We study the optical linear and circular polarization in the optically thin regime of the core and jet of M87. Observations were acquired two days before the...

    Low-density star cluster formation: discovery of a young faint fuzzy on the outskirts of the low-mass spiral galaxy NGC 247
    The classical globular clusters found in all galaxy types have half-light radii of r h ~ 2-4 pc, which have been tied to formation in the dense cores of giant...

    Low-metallicity (sub-SMC) massive stars
    The double distance and metallicity frontier marked by the SMC has been finally broken with the aid of powerful multi-object spectrographs installed at 8-10m...
