Description
We have analyzed the structure of bulges of early-to intermediate-type spirals, on nuclear and global scales, using HST NIR imaging together with ground-based NIR imaging. The goals are (a) to see whether results on bulge structure derived from ground-based, 1" FWHM seeing data remain valid when high-resolution HST data are used; (2) to compare nuclear properties of bulges to those of ellipticals; and (3) to provide bulge-disk scaling relations based on accurate profile decompositions employing the HST data. Details are presented in Balcells et al. (2003, 2004a, 2004b).

    A Multi-wavelength Study of Rotation and Magnetic Activity in Young Open Clusters
    In main-sequence, low-mass (<1.3 Solar mass) stars, rotation and magnetic activity decrease over time, with the spin-down thought to be due to angular momentum lost through magnetized winds. This magnetic activity heats the stellar atmospheres, leading to the production of Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and X-ray radiation, each originating from different

    LeMMINGs. Multi-wavelength constraints on the co-existence of nuclear star clusters and AGN in nucleated galaxies
    The relation between nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and the growth of the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs), as well as their connection to the properties of the host galaxies, is crucial for understanding the evolution of galaxies. Recent observations have revealed that about 10% of nucleated galaxies host hybrid nuclei, consisting of both
