The ratio of pattern speeds in double-barred galaxies
We have obtained two-dimensional velocity fields in the ionized gas of a set of eight double-barred galaxies, at high spatial and spectral resolution, using...
The Realm of the Galactic Globular Clusters and the Mass of Their Primordial Clouds
By adopting the empirical constraints related to the estimates of helium enhancement ({{Δ }}Y), the present mass ratio between first and second stellar...
We present Hubble Space Telescope photometry of young stars in NGC 5102, a nearby gas-rich post-starburst S0 galaxy with a bright young stellar nucleus. We use...
The Recent Stellar Archeology of M31—The Nearest Red Disk Galaxy
We examine the star-forming history of the M31 disk during the past few hundred Myr. The luminosity functions (LFs) of main-sequence stars at distances R GC >...
The recurrent impact of the Sagittarius dwarf on the star formation history of the Milky Way
Satellites orbiting disk galaxies can induce phase space features such as spirality, vertical heating and phase-mixing in their disks. Such features have also...
The red giant branch phase transition: Implications for the RGB luminosity function bump and detections of Li-rich red clump stars
We performed a detailed study of the evolution of the luminosity of He-ignition stage and of the red giant branch bump luminosity during the red giant branch...
The red giant branches of Galactic globular clusters in the [(V-I)0,MV] plane: metallicity indices and morphology
The purpose of this study is to carry out a thorough investigation of the changes in morphology of the red giant branch (RGB) of Galactic globular clusters (GGC...
The redshift and broad-band spectral energy distribution of NRAO 150
Context. NRAO 150 is one of the brightest radio and mm AGN sources in the northern sky, and is an interesting source to study extreme relativistic jet phenomena...
The Redshift Distribution of Flat-Spectrum Radio Sources
The redshift distribution of flat-spectrum radio sources with 5 GHz flux densities S5>~5 mJy is a key component in using current radio lens surveys to probe the...
