  • Publication
    Nature of a shell of young stars in the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Context. Understanding the evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds requires an in-depth exploration and characterization of the stellar content in their...

    Neutron-capture Element Abundances in Magellanic Cloud Planetary Nebulae
    We present near-infrared spectra of 10 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), acquired with the FIRE and GNIRS...

    New near-infrared JHKs light-curve templates for RR Lyrae variables
    We provide homogeneous optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (NIR, JHK) time series photometry for 254 cluster (ω Cen, M 4) and field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables. We...

    Nitrogen abundances of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus
    A sub-set of the 67 Be-type stars observed in 30 Doradus during the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) campaign have been analysed to estimate atmospheric...
  • Publication
    O-star mass-loss and wind momentum rates in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds Observations and theoretical predictions.
    A new, very fast approximate method is presented to determine mass-loss rates of O-stars from Halpha_ line profiles. The method uses H and HeII departure...
  • Publication
    On the nature of the most obscured C-rich AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds
    The stars in the Magellanic Clouds with the largest degree of obscuration are used to probe the highly uncertain physics of stars in the asymptotic giant branch...
  • Publication
    On the use of field RR Lyrae as galactic probes - VI. Mixed mode RR Lyrae variables in Fornax and in nearby dwarf galaxies
    We investigate the properties of the mixed-mode (RRd) RR Lyrae (RRL) variables in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy by using B- and V-band time series...

    Outside-In Disk Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
    From the analysis of the color-magnitude diagrams and color functions of four wide LMC fields located from ~=2 to 6 kpc from the kinematic center of the LMC we...

    Photometric and Polarimetric Observations of the Wolf-Rayet Eclipsing Binary HD 5980 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
    We present results of photometry and photopolarimetry of the Wolf-Rayet eclipsing binary system HD 5980 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, which underwent an...
