How will quasar studies be pursued in the near future? Starting from a summary of past achievement, we ask questions on expected instrumental and computational...
The G-dwarf problem - A tentative analytical approach, relaxing instantaneous recycling
The general solution for the birth function B(m,t) of stars, derived by Casuso et al. (1989) was used to obtain a first-order analytical approximation to this...
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey has begun and will obtain high quality spectroscopy of some 100000 Milky Way stars, in the field and in open clusters...
As part of the Gaia-ESO Survey (GES), a number of clusters will be observed that were chosen specifically for their massive-star content. We report on the...
Measurements of lithium in stars of different galactic populations such as young open clusters (Alpa Per, Pleiades, Praesepe, Coma, Hyades), very young stellar...
The Galactic underdogs: characterizing a population of metal-poor stars with disc kinematics in the Milky Way
To deepen our knowledge of the early history of the Milky Way, it is of particular interest to investigate the orbital and chemical properties of the most metal...
The GaLAxy Cluster Evolution survey (GLACE): introduction and first results
Aimed at understanding the evolution of galaxies in clusters, the GLACE survey is mapping a set of optical lines ([OII]3727, [OIII]5007, Hβ and Hα/[NII] when...
