TalkThe integrated galactic IMF - from star clusters to galaxies
Over the past years observations of young and populous star clusters have shown that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) can be conveniently described by a...

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 Luminous Blue Variable HR Car Just Got Married!
Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) are massive stars caught in a post-main sequence phase, during which they are losing a significant amount of mass. Given the...

TalkThe Many Facets of Massive Star Mass Loss
Massive stars lose mass through powerful, radiatively driven stellar winds. Building on the original "CAK" model for steady, spherical winds driven by line...

TalkThe Mg/Fe characterisation of MILES library for stellar population
The current databases of empirical star spectra for modelling single-aged stellar populations (SSPs) generally do not chemically characterize their stars...

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 non-homology - star-formation connection: hints for the solution of the FP problem
We present the K band FP of the ETGs members of the clusters observed by the WINGS survey. The data confirm a different tilt of the FP with respect to the V...
