    The Square Kilometre Array: At the Frontiers of Astronomy, Physics, and Astrobiology
    The Square Kilometre Array is intended to be the centimeter- and meter-wavelength telescope for the 21st Century. Originally proposed as the "hydrogen telescope...

    The 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...

    The 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...

    The triggering mechanisms of powerful radio galaxies: mergers and interactions.
    Despite speculation that both starburst and nuclear activity in galaxies may be intimately linked via the common triggering mechanism of mergers and...

    Towards 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...

    Transitions 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...

    Unbiased studies of galactic outflows
    Large-scale outflows from galaxies are a crucially important yet poorly understood aspect of galaxy evolution. They redistribute gas and metals into the IGM...

    Unveiling the inner Milky Way globular cluster system
    A serious limitation in the study of the Galactic inner halo and bulge globular clusters has been the existence of large and differential extinction by...

    Using nitrogen as a tracer of the chemical content of the Universe: from WR nebulae to early star-forming galaxies
    Chemical abundances derived using emission-line spectra in ionized gaseous nebulae are between the most useful properties that can be derived to understand the...
