In some AGN, nuclear dust lanes connected to kpc-scale dust structures provide all the extinction required to obscure the nucleus, challenging the role of the...

PublicationThe Nuclear Infrared Emission of Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei
We present high-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) imaging, nuclear spectral energy distributions (SEDs), and archival Spitzer spectra for 22 low-luminosity active...

PublicationThe Nuclear Near-Infrared Spectral Properties of Nearby Galaxies
We present spectra of the nuclear regions of 50 nearby (D = 1-92 Mpc, median = 20 Mpc) galaxies of morphological types E to Sm. The spectra, obtained with the...

PublicationThe nuclear ring in the unbarred galaxy NGC 278: Result of a minor merger?
We present fully sampled high angular resolution two-dimensional kinematics in the Hα spectral line, optical and near-infrared imaging, as well as 21 cm atomic...

PublicationThe nuclear starburst activity in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7679
We present our recent spectrophotometric results of the infrared luminous Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7679. We find compelling evidence for the presence of a recent...

PublicationThe nucleus of NGC 253 and its massive stellar clusters at parsec scales
Very Large Telescope adaptive optics images of NGC 253 with resolutions down to 200mas resolve the central 300pc of this galaxy in ~37 infrared (IR) bright...

PublicationThe Number of Dwarf Satellites of Disk Galaxies versus their Bulge Mass in the Standard Model of Cosmology
There is a correlation between the bulge mass of the three main galaxies of the Local Group (LG), i.e., M31, Milky Way (MW), and M33, and the number of their...

PublicationThe number of globular clusters around the iconic UDG DF44 is as expected for dwarf galaxies
There is a growing consensus that the vast majority of ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) are dwarf galaxies. However, there remain a few UDGs that seem to be special...

PublicationThe Number of Tidal Dwarf Satellite Galaxies in Dependence of Bulge Index
We show that a significant correlation (up to 5σ) emerges between the bulge index, defined to be larger for a larger bulge/disk ratio, in spiral galaxies with...
