Probing the origin of thick disks using ultra-deep images
The origin of thick disks is still a matter of debate. To explore such structures in unprecedented detail, we have developed a technique to reach a surface...
Probing the parameter space of HD 49933: A comparison between global and local methods
We present two independent methods for studying the global stellar parameter space (mass M, age, chemical composition X0, Z0) of HD 49933 with seismic data...
Probing the stellar populations in the outskirts of spiral galaxies
We present our results on the stellar population properties of the outskirts of disk galaxies. In particular, we focus on spiral galaxies with stellar disk...
Probing the Structure of SDSS J1004+4112 through Microlensing Analysis of Spectroscopic Data
We aim to uncover the structure of the continuum and broad emission line (BEL) emitting regions in the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1004+4112 through...
Probing the Uniformity of the Local Sheet Environment (PULSE)
Essentially all galaxies within roughly 4 Mpc of the Milky Way are confined to a thin sheet-like structure, here referred to as the ``Local Sheet''. Our...
