Kinematics and dynamics of molecular gas in galaxies
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a fundamental component of galaxies, being the most abundant element in molecular clouds, where stars form, and an important source...
Kinematics and stellar population gradients as fingerprints of past mergers in elliptical galaxies
The formation and evolution of early-type galaxies constitutes a long-standing and crucial problem in cosmology. In all hierarchical clustering models within a...
Kinematics and stellar populations in the outer halos of early type galaxies
Stellar halos of galaxies offer an important laboratory to understand the galaxies’ formation process and evolution. In fact, the dynamic time scale in the...
