XSL, the X-Shooter Spectral Library: Overview and status
We present an overview of and status report on XSL, the X-Shooter Spectral Library. XSL is an ESO Large Programme that is using the X-Shooter three-beam...
Young ages and other intriguing properties of massive compact galaxies in the local Universe
We characterize the kinematics, morphology, stellar populations and star formation histories of a sample of massive compact galaxies in the nearby Universe...
Young Galaxy Candidates in the Hubble Frontier Fields. III. MACS J0717.5+3745
In this paper we present the results of our search for and study of z≳ 6 galaxy candidates behind the third Frontier Fields (FFs) cluster, MACS J0717.5+3745...
Young LMC clusters: the role of red supergiants and multiple stellar populations in their integrated light and CMDs
The optical integrated spectra of three Large Magellanic Cloud young stellar clusters (NGC 1984, NGC 1994 and NGC 2011) exhibit concave continua and prominent...
Young stellar population gradients in central cluster galaxies from NUV and optical spectroscopy
Central cluster galaxies are the largest and most massive galaxies in the Universe. Although they host very old stellar populations, several studies found the...

Young Stellar Populations and Star Clusters in NGC 1705
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of the late-type dwarf galaxy NGC 1705 observed with the Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in the F380W...
Young stellar populations in type II quasars: timing the onset of star formation and nuclear activity
Despite the emerging morphological evidence that luminous quasar-like active galactic nuclei (AGN) are triggered in galaxy mergers, the natures of the...
