    The bursty star formation history of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy revealed with the HST
    We present a new derivation of the star formation history (SFH) of the dSph galaxy Fornax in two central regions, characterized by unprecedented precision and...

    The CAVITY project: The spatially resolved stellar population properties of galaxies in voids
    The Universe is shaped as a web-like structure, formed by clusters, filaments, and walls that leave large low number-density volumes in between named voids...

    The central bulges of galaxies at 0.3 < z < 1.0
    We have studied the colors of the bulge component of 133 galaxies from the HST Groth Strip Survey (Groth et al. 1994), covering redshifts 0.3 z 1.0. We...

    The centres of M83 and the Milky Way: opposite extremes of a common star formation cycle
    In the centres of the Milky Way and M83, the global environmental properties thought to control star formation are very similar. However, M83's nuclear star...

    The Circumnuclear Starburst in M83
    We present results from near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of the circumnuclear starburst in M83, using the CIRPASS instrument on Gemini South. The...

    The complex Milky Way history
    In this seminar I will focus on how the avalanche of new data changes our views on how our Galaxy formed and evolved. Precise astrometric, spectroscopic...

    The Complex Star Formation History of the Halo of NGC 5128 (Cen A)
    NGC 5128 (Cen A) is the nearest giant elliptical galaxy and one of the brightest extragalactic radio sources in the sky, boasting a prominent dust lane and jets...

    The dark side of galaxy stellar populations - II. The dependence of star-formation histories on halo mass and on the scatter of the main sequence
    Nearby galaxies are the end result of their cosmological evolution, which is predicted to be influenced by the growth of their host dark matter haloes. This co...
