In this article we first give a brief historically based survey of kinematic observations, essentially of rotation curves, of spiral galaxies produced as...

We present the first results from the mass modelling of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, using spectroscopic data from our VLT/FLAMES CaII triplet wide...

Star clusters provide a unique and powerful probe useful for studying the star formation histories of galaxies. In particular, the ages, metallicities and...

Superbubbles and large scale expansion in galaxies are important indicators of activity in galaxies: they are formed in starbursts and around active nuclei...

The kinematics of the inner zones of disc galaxies have recently been shown to be much more complicated than previously thou-ght. New instruments and more...

Bipolar planetary nebulae (BPNe) offer a unique opportunity to test models that aim to reproduce the PNe morphologies. In particular, kinematic studies of BPNe...

It is found that the planetary nebula M1-32, which has a [WC4-5] core, shows a peculiar kinematics with bipolar outflows reaching ±200 km/s, while the main body...

Understanding how different stellar populations evolve in different regions is a key to understand the evolution of galaxies. Traditionally the kinematics and...
