Dwarf galaxies in the Local Group allow to study in great detail the physical mechanisms responsible for the formation and evolution of galaxies. In fact, their...
Kinematic and metallicity properties of the Aquarius dwarf galaxy from FORS2 MXU spectroscopy⋆
Context. Dwarf galaxies found in isolation in the Local Group (LG) are unlikely to have interacted with the large LG spirals, and therefore environmental...
Context. The kinematics of planetary nebulae in external galaxies and in our own is a clue for understanding the behavior of the low- and intermediate-mass...
Kinematics of the Local Group gas and galaxies in the HESTIA simulations
We investigate the kinematic properties of gas and galaxies in the Local Group (LG) using high-resolution simulations performed by the HESTIA (High-resolution...
La evolución de galaxias y el Grupo Local, en la Escuela de Invierno del IAC
La XXXIV Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, organizada por el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), tendrá...
Las galaxias satélite podrían seguir formando estrellas cuando pasan cerca de las galaxias anfitrionas
Históricamente los científicos han creído que una vez que las galaxias satélite pasan cerca de la galaxia anfitriona, de mayor masa, su formación estelar se...
Looking for the traces of the early Universe in the Fornax dSph galaxy
We present the full Star Formation History as a function of radius of the Fornax dSph galaxy. We also present the preliminary results of the spatial...
Preliminary results of a candidate luminous blue variable (LBV) search made in a region of M33 are presented. The objects were found with narrow band filter...
Luminous Red Stars in Local Group Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies: an Intermediate-Age Population?
In this Letter, we show that the optically bright stars above the tip of the first red giant branch (TRGB) in the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of nearby...
