Over the past two decades, our understanding of massive star evolution has undergone a paradigm shift. For nearly 40 years, theoretical and observational efforts focused on refining a framework in which massive stars were assumed to evolve predominantly as single, with four key factor playing a dominant role: mass, rotation, stellar winds, and

Cosmological simulations have become indispensable tools for understanding structure formation in the Universe. By modeling the complex interplay of gravity, baryonic physics, and galaxy formation across vast scales, these simulations provide crucial insights into the evolution of galaxies and the largescale structure of the cosmos. This project

The ESSTE-JWST Coordinated Project will investigate the surface and compositional properties of a diverse and representative sample of primitive small bodies across the Solar System, with the main goal of studying if there exists a continuum from the inner main belt to the outer and icy trans- Neptunian region. The project will focus on the non-icy

Summary of the coordinated Project: Gravitational lenses are a powerful tool for astrophysics and cosmology. We will combine our group's experience in the theory and observation of gravitational lenses to achieve the following goals: (i) to study the nature and abundance of different types of dark deflectors over a very large mass range in a

This project MATRYOSHKA (Mass Assembly TRaced bY glObular clusterS, tHe Key to gAlaxy evolution) aims to address three key questions in astrophysics: (i) how do galaxies grow in size and mass; (ii) what is the dark matter content of these galaxies; and (iii) whether the current cosmological paradigm is compatible with this picture. We propose to
