We present the first results of a pilot study aimed at understanding the influence of bars on the evolution of galaxy discs through the study of their stellar...

A study of two dE/dSph members of the nearby M81 group of galaxies, KDG61 and UGC5442 = KDG64, has been made. Direct Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced...

It has been well established in the past decades that the central black hole masses of galaxies correlate with dynamical properties of their harbouring bulges...

Large-scale propagating star formation in galaxies is studied as a self-regulatin process. The model connects the energy injection by star formation with the...

We present the first results of a narrow-band photometric study of the massive galaxy cluster XMMU J2235.3-2557 at z= 1.39. We obtained deep H narrow-band...

We investigate the relation between star formation rates (dot{{M}}_s) and AGN properties in optically selected type 1 quasars at 2 z 3 using data from...

Star formation rate and accumulated stellar mass are two fundamental physical quantities that describe the evolutionary state of a forming galaxy. Two recent...

Low-mass galaxies at high redshifts are the building blocks of more massive galaxies at later times and are thus key populations for understanding galaxy...

In this paper we discuss the results of a programme of spectral synthesis modelling of a sample of starburst radio galaxies in the context of scenarios for the...
