TalkLet there be light: galaxy formation for the novice
The origin of the galaxies represents an important focus of current cosmological research, both observational and theoretical. Its resolution involves a...

TalkLiving on the Edge: Superthin Galaxies and the Cosmic UV Background
Superthin galaxies are bulgeless, late-type spiral galaxies seen edge-on. HI synthesis observations probe the kinematic structure of their interstellar medium...

TalkLocalized starbursts in dwarf galaxies produced by impact of low metallicity cosmic gas clouds
Models of galaxy formation predict that gas accretion from the cosmic web is a primary driver of star formation over cosmic history. Except in very dense...

TalkLuminous buried AGNs and the AGN-starburst connections in the local Universe
We present the results of our systematic search for optically elusive, but intrinsically luminous buried AGNs in >100 nearby (z < 0.3) luminous infrared...

TalkM33 as a galaxy example that connects the evolution of big and dwarf galaxies in the Local Group.
Based on the double exponential behaviour of the gas mass profile and on the O/H gradient, Robles-Valdez, Carigi & Peimbert (2013) built a sucessful chemical...

TalkMAGIC observations and multiwavelength properties of the quasar 3C 279 in 2007 and 2009
3C 279, the first quasar discovered to emit VHE gamma-rays by the MAGIC telescope in 2006, was re-observed by MAGIC in January 2007 during a major optical flare...

TalkMagnetic fields and the outer rotation curve of M31
Recent observations of the rotation curve of M31 show a rise of the outer part that cannot be understood in terms of standard dark matter models or...

TalkMass, metallicity and SFR relationships in star forming galaxies using deep surveys
To understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, it is important to have a full comprehension of the role played by Metallicity, Star Formation Rate (SFR)...
