TalkStellar haloes of disc galaxies at z~1
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...

TalkThe discovery of a supernova type Ia progenitor at the heart of a planetary nebula
I will report on the results of our paper published in Nature this week, outlining the discovery of a super-Chandrasekhar double-degenerate binary system at the...

TalkThe distribution of gas and star formation in M81
In this talk I will present the first complete 12CO J=3-2 map of M81, observed as part of the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey. We have detected nine regions of...

TalkThe Hunting of relic galaxies in the Nearby Universe
As early as 10 Gyr ago, galaxies with more than 10^11 M* in stars already existed. While most of these massive galaxies must have subsequently transformed...

TalkThe Kepler space mission sheds a new light on variable A- and F-type stars
The Kepler spacecraft is providing photometric time series with micromagnitude precision for thousands of variable stars. The continuous time-series of...

TalkThe Nature and Nurture of Bars and Disks
The effects that environment produce on galaxy disks and how they modify the subsequent formation of bars need to be distinguished to fully understand the...

TalkThe nature of growing bulges within z < 1.3 galaxy disks in the GOODS-N Field
In this work we have tried to verify what types of bulges are the descendants and the precursors of the bulges with blue colors observed at intermediate z...

TalkThe stochastic, intermittent nature of quiet Sun magnetism
The quiet Sun (the 99%, or more, of the solar surface not covered by sunspots or active regions) is receiving increased attention in recent years; its role on...
