The Universe's re-ionisation is at the forefront of research. How the re-ionisation occurred is however still not known. This project intents to understand the...

Starsbursts play a key role in the cosmic evolution of galaxies. There is an intimate link between the average star formation (SF) rate history of the universe...

We propose to study the evolution of galaxies through detailed analysis of observational data obtained with the most modern ground- and space-based telescopes...

Galaxy discs are made of two components, the thin and the thick disc. Thick discs contain up to 50% of the baryonic mass of a galaxy. Because their stars are...

Most of the stars (M < 8 solar masses, Ms) end their lives with a phase of strong mass loss on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), just before they form...

Central regions of galaxies are inhabited by dense small structures, such as nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and nuclear disks and rings. These, at the bottom of...

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback is the effect that nuclear activity produces in the interstellar and circumgalactic medium (ISM and CGM) of galaxies...

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a NASA mission that started scientific operations in July 2018. Over two years it will cover the entire sky...

Astrophysical and cosmological observations imply that only 5% of the energy of the Universe is made of conventional matter. The rest is composed by a new type...
