    The double-dust chemistry phenomenon in PNe with [WC]-type central stars
    We present preliminary conclusions derived from the analysis of a sample of galactic PNe with [WC]-type central stars (WCPNe) observed with Spitzer/IRS. We...

    The downplayed role of secular processes in the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes
    According to the current co-evolution picture, most present-day galaxies experienced at least one phase of vigorous black hole (BH) activity in the past, during...

    The Duration of Starbursts in Eighteen Nearby Dwarf Starburst Galaxies
    The duration of a starburst is a fundamental parameter affecting the evolution of galaxies yet, to date, observational constraints on the durations of...

    The dust activity of the "transition" cometary object P/2010 C1 (Scotti)
    We report on the cometary activity of the minor body P/2010 C1 (Scotti), an active Centaur observed at 5.51 AU. The long-term dynamical behavior of this target...
