    A 2dF spectroscopic study of globular clusters in NGC 5128: probing the formation history of the nearest giant elliptical
    We have performed a spectroscopic study of globular clusters (GCs) in the nearest giant elliptical NGC 5128 using the 2dF facility at the Anglo-Australian...

    A census of young stellar populations in the warm ULIRG PKS 1345+12
    We present a detailed investigation of the young stellar populations (YSP) in the radio-loud ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG), PKS1345+12 (z = 0.12), based...

    A SINFONI view of circum-nuclear star-forming rings in spiral galaxies
    We present near-infrared (H- and K-band) SINFONI integral-field observations of the circumnuclear star formation rings in five nearby spiral galaxies. We made...

    A SLUGGS and Gemini/GMOS combined study of the elliptical galaxy M60: wide-field photometry and kinematics of the globular cluster system
    We present new wide-field photometry and spectroscopy of the globular clusters (GCs) around NGC 4649 (M60), the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster...

    A study of correlation between the oscillation amplitude and stellar parameters of delta Scutis in open clusters. Toward selection rules for delta Scuti star oscillations
    In the present work, we study correlations between stellar fundamental parameters and the oscillation amplitude for delta Scuti stars. We present this study for...

    A study of the color-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions of the two LMC clusters NGC 2134 and NGC 2249 with the new radiative opacities
    We present Johnson CCD photometry in the B and V passbands for the stellar content of two intermediate age star clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)...

    A Third Massive Star Component in the σ Orionis AB System
    We report on the detection of a third massive star component in the σ Orionis AB system, traditionally considered as a binary system. The system has been...

    Age Estimates for Globular Clusters in NGC 1399
    We present high signal-to-noise Keck spectra for 10 globular clusters associated with the giant Fornax elliptical galaxy NGC 1399 and compare measured line...

    Ages and metallicities of globular clusters in NGC 4472
    We have derived ages and metallicities from co-added spectra of 131 globular clusters associated with the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. Based upon a...
