Of the mechanisms proposed to bring gaseous fuel into the central starburst regions of a galaxy, non-axisymmetries in the gravitational potential set up by...
Fuelling, evolution, and diversity of active galactic nuclei in dwarf galaxies: Insights from star formation and black hole scaling relations
We investigated the star formation activity and black hole scaling relations in a sample of 1 451 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) hosted by dwarf galaxies (log(M...
Further evidence for a time-dependent initial mass function in massive early-type galaxies
Spectroscopic analyses of gravity-sensitive line strengths give growing evidence towards an excess of low-mass stars in massive early-type galaxies (ETGs). Such...
Galactic Globular Clusters: Why should we care about them?
Galactic globular clusters have always been at the crossroad of several investigations in both Stellar and Galactic Astrophysics. For long time, they have been...
Galaxy transformation across the cosmic web: Evolution of stellar colours and star formation rates in filaments
Context. The aim of this work is to provide evidence of the imprints left by large-scale structure on galaxy properties by selecting extensive samples of...
In the last years star-forming regions and massive protostars have been suggested to be gamma-ray emitters. Isolated massive protostars present powerful...
Gas accretion from the cosmic web in the local Universe
Numerical simulations predict that gas accretion from the cosmic web drives star formation in disks galaxies. The process is important in low mass haloes ( 1012...
GLACE survey: Galaxy activity in ZwCl0024+1652 cluster from strong optical emission lines
Although ZwCl0024+1652 galaxy cluster at z ∼ 0.4 has been thoroughly analysed, it lacks a comprehensive study of star formation and nuclear activity of its...
GLACE survey: OSIRIS/GTC multi-object spectroscopy of the rich galaxy cluster ZwCl 0024.0+1652 at z∼0.4: III. The mass–SFR relation and the quenching of cluster galaxies
Context. Galaxy clusters are among the largest and densest structures in the Universe. Their high density generally increases the suppression of star formation...
