    The SUMO project: a survey of multiple populations in globular clusters
    The classical idea that globular clusters are the prototypes of simple stellar populations has been revolutionized in the last few years. Multiple sequences of...

    The Uv Spectral Window: New Means To Constrain The Stellar Populations Of Early-Type Galaxies
    We discuss the possibilities of exploiting the UV spectral using the J-PAS survey to disentangle young contributions from apparently old galaxies. We show that...

    Thinking about stellar populations modeling
    The basis of stellar population modeling was established around 40 years ago somehow optimized to the technical facilities and observational data available at...

    Timing the r-process Enrichment of the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II
    The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II (Ret II) exhibits a unique chemical evolution history, with ${72}_{-12}^{+10}$ % of its stars strongly enhanced in r...

    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...

    Understanding the Milky Way galaxy - prospects from on-going and future surveys
    Galactic Archeology is today a vibrant field of research. The adoption and launch of the Gaia astrometric satellite by ESA has resulted in many spectroscopic...

    Unusual abundance patterns across the Milky Way: Evident signatures of dissolving GC stars
    APOGEE contains more than hundred thousands new giant stars. This enabled us to collected an unprecedented and homogeneous sample of giant stars with light...
