PublicationThe reports of thick discs' deaths are greatly exaggerated. Thick discs are NOT artefacts caused by diffuse scattered light
Recent studies have made the community aware of the importance of accounting for scattered light when examining low-surface-brightness galaxy features such as...

PublicationThe resolved size and structure of hot dust in the immediate vicinity of AGN
We use VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometry measurements of eight bright type 1 AGN to study the size and structure of hot dust that is heated by the...

PublicationThe Resolved Stellar Populations of a Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
We report on the discovery of a faint (MV~-10.6+/-0.2) dwarf spheroidal galaxy on deep F606W and F814W Hubble Space Telescope images of a Virgo intracluster...

PublicationThe Resolved Structure and Dynamics of an Isolated Dwarf Galaxy: A VLT and Keck Spectroscopic Survey of WLM
We present spectroscopic data for 180 red giant branch (RGB) stars in the isolated dwarf irregular galaxy Wolf-Lundmark-Mellote (WLM). Observations of the...

PublicationThe Rest-Frame Optical Luminosity Density, Color, and Stellar Mass Density of the Universe from z = 0 to z = 3
We present the evolution of the rest-frame optical luminosity density jrestλ, the integrated rest-frame optical color, and the stellar mass density, ρ*, for a...

PublicationThe Revised Mg2 Index as a Metallicity Indicator for Stellar Systems: Giant Elliptical Galaxies and Bulges
We provide a new calibration of the metallicity dependence of the Mg2 index in stellar systems. It is based on new isochrones by the Padova group and the latest...

PublicationThe Role of Bars in AGN Fueling in Disk Galaxies Over the Last Seven Billion Years
We present empirical constraints on the influence of stellar bars on the fueling of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) out to z = 0.84 using a sample of X-ray...
