We present results from near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of the circumnuclear starburst in M83, using the CIRPASS instrument on Gemini South. The...
In this seminar I will focus on how the avalanche of new data changes our views on how our Galaxy formed and evolved. Precise astrometric, spectroscopic...
The dark side of galaxy stellar populations - II. The dependence of star-formation histories on halo mass and on the scatter of the main sequence
Nearby galaxies are the end result of their cosmological evolution, which is predicted to be influenced by the growth of their host dark matter haloes. This co...
The Deep SPIRE HerMES Survey: spectral energy distributions and their astrophysical indications at high redshift
The Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver on-board Herschel has been carrying out deep extragalactic surveys, one of the aims of which is to establish...
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...
The Distribution of Star Formation in the Central Regions of Spiral Galaxies
Nuclear rings are characterized by their high star formation rates, and are believed to be the products of gas inflow towards the inner regions of spiral...
The new observational O/Fe vs Fe/H relationship in halo dwarfs is analyzed in terms of a model of chemical evolution for the solar neighborhood. The role of...
The EDGE-CALIFA Survey: An Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution Studies
The EDGE-CALIFA survey provides spatially resolved optical integral-field unit and CO spectroscopy for 125 galaxies selected from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral...
The EDGE-CALIFA survey: exploring the role of molecular gas on galaxy star formation quenching
Understanding how galaxies cease to form stars represents an outstanding challenge for galaxy evolution theories. This process of "star formation quenching" has...
