CharlaThe star formation history of different types of dwarf galaxies
We are going to present a new code to derive the SFH of a complex stellar population system, like a galaxy. This code has been used to obtain the SFH of six...

PublicaciónThe Star Formation History of Eridanus II: On the Role of Supernova Feedback in the Quenching of Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies
Eridanus II (Eri II) is an ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxy (M V = -7.1) located at a distance close to the Milky Way virial radius. Early shallow color-magnitude...

CharlaTowards a new paradigm for early-type galaxies
The SAURON survey has revised our view of early type galaxies discovering that central disks and multiple kinematic components are common; 75% of the sample...

CharlaTransitions from Clumpy to Smooth Galaxies over Cosmic Time
Galaxies at redshifts z~2-5 are dominated by clumpy morphologies instead of the more familiar elliptical and spiral types seen in the local Universe. The clumpy...
