Descripción
Here, we present briefly the methodology we have implemented to study the spatial distribution of massive star formation in galaxies. To do this, we analyze a sample of 759 galaxies in a range of redshifts extending up to z˜ 1. We use data from different surveys, which span in wavelength from FUV to NIR (GALEX, COMBO17, and GOODS-HST). The aim is to develop methodology which can be used to help decide between different basic models of galaxy formation using the spatial distribution of star formation within galaxies as the test parameter. In situ knowledge of the star formation distribution as a function of redshift will be a valuable counterpart to population synthesis studies, which at best integrate this kind of information over long periods.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
