Globular clusters systems and their host dark matter halos
In the Λ-CDM galaxy formation paradigm, the star formation history of a galaxy is coupled to the total mass of its dark matter halo through processes like...
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually associated with supernovae ( Woosley et al. 2006). They release...
Growing black holes: from the first seeds to active galactic nuclei
One of the most puzzling questions in the field of galaxy evolution is how agalaxy manages to grow a supermassive black hole of 10^6-10^9 solar masses atits...
GTC spectroscopic study of stellar clusters in M81
The nearby spiral galaxy M81 contains a population of 3 kinds of stellar clusters - super star clusters, globular clusters and fuzzy clusters. Over the past few...
HerMES HFLS3: A dust-obscured massive maximum-starburst galaxy at a redshift of 6.34
How do the first galaxies form and evolve? Optical and near-infrared deep surveys are now finding galaxies at very high redshifts. However, they are typically...
How does the group environment hamper star-formation in star-forming galaxies?
How does the group environment hamper star-formation in star-forming galaxies? Abstract: We present the first results from the H-alpha Galaxy Groups Imaging...
How dynamical environment regulates the structure of the molecular gas and star formation in M51
Gas kinematics on the scales of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) are essential for probing the framework that links the large-scale organization of interstellar...

How massive galaxies have evolved over cosmic time?
In the last few years there has been cumulative evidence showing that massive galaxies have dramatically grown in size since z~3. This result has remained very...
