    Extragalactic background light and its implications for galaxy evolution and gamma-ray astronomy
    The extragalactic background light (EBL) is of fundamental importance both for understanding the entire process of galaxy evolution and for gamma-ray astronomy...

    Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). V. First Results on the Magnetic Field Orientation of Galaxies
    We present the analysis of the magnetic field (B-field) structure of galaxies measured with far-infrared (FIR) and radio (3 and 6 cm) polarimetric observations...

    Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program): The Magnetic Fields in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium of the Antennae Galaxies
    Mergers are thought to be a fundamental channel for galaxy growth, perturbing the gas dynamics and the magnetic fields (B-fields) in the interstellar medium...

    Extremely Red Galaxies at z = 5–9 with MIRI and NIRSpec: Dusty Galaxies or Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei?
    We study a new population of extremely red objects (EROs) recently discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) based on their NIRCam colors F277W ‑...

    Faint double-peak Ha emission discovered in the halo of low redshift galaxies: is it produced by rogue intermediate mass black holes?
    With the aim of detecting cosmological gas accretion onto galaxies of the local Universe, we examined the Ha emission in the halo of the 164 galaxies in the...

    Fifty years of secular evolution in galaxies: where do we stand?
    In this talk I will present my view on what we know and what we don't know about the so-called secular evolution processes in galaxies. I will focus on the...

    First Look at z > 1 Bars in the Rest-frame Near-infrared with JWST Early CEERS Imaging
    Stellar bars are key drivers of secular evolution in galaxies and can be effectively studied using rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) images, which trace the...

    Flares, Warps, Truncations, and Satellite: The Ultra-thin Galaxy UGC 11859
    The structure of the outskirts of galaxies provides valuable information about their past and evolution. Due to their projected orientation, edge-on isolated...

    From Naked Spheroids to Disky Galaxies: How Do Massive Disk Galaxies Shape Their Morphology?
    We investigate the assembly history of massive disk galaxies and describe how they shape their morphology through cosmic time. Using SHARDS and HST data, we...
