The massive black holes found at the centers of most nearby galaxies including our own, are believed to be the ashes of the fuel that powered quasars early in...
Taking advantage of the ultra-deep near-infrared imaging obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope on the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, we detect and explore for the...
Different components of galaxies are the result of internal and environmental processes during their lifetimes. Disentangling these processes is an important...
Studying galaxies at low and high redshifts with GRBs
Long gamma-ray bursts are supposed to be connected to the death of very massive stars. Due to their brightness, we can detect them to much larger distances than...
Synergies from a joint analysis of photometry, spectroscopy and morphology of early-type galaxies in MaNGA
Stellar populations vary across the galaxy population. However, even within a single galaxy, there are stellar population gradients which spatially resolved...
The immediate surroundings of our Milky Way galaxy are home to a number of dwarf galaxies, whose variety in shape, size, spatial location and velocity tells us...
Testing the Unification Model for AGN in the Infrared: are the obscuring tori of Type 1 and 2 Seyferts different?
I will present new mid-infrared imaging data for a sample of ~20 nearby Seyfert galaxies obtained with T-ReCS and MICHELLE on the Gemini Telescopes at...
The 1D plane-parallel PDR model and its application
A simple model using the balance of photodissociation assuming a one-dimensional plane-parallel model yields total hydrogen volume densities for a column of...
The Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey: extended data release and spatial resolved properties
We present the extended data release of the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey (eDR). It comprises science-grade quality data for 895...
