  • GD 424 - a helium-atmosphere white dwarf with a large amount of trace hydrogen in the process of digesting a rocky planetesimal
    The photospheric metal pollution of white dwarfs is now well established as the signature of the accretion of planetary debris. However, the origin of the trace hydrogen detected in many white dwarfs with helium atmospheres is still debated. Here, we report the analysis of GD 424: a metal-polluted, helium-atmosphere white dwarf with a large amount

  • UN ESTUDIO DE CÚMULOS GALÁCTICOS OSCURECIDOS Y SU CONTENIDO ESTELAR
    El proyecto MASGOMAS (``MAssive Stars in Galactic Obscured MAssive clusterS'') tiene como objetivo descubrir, observar y caracterizar físicamente cúmulos jóvenes, masivos (varios miles de masas solares) y altamente enrojecidos, pertenecientes a nuestra Galaxia, en especial aquellos cuya masa total excede 10000 masas solares. Estos cúmulos, de los

  • DUST, GAS AND STAR FORMATION IN LOCAL GALAXIES
    La formación estelar es el factor más importante que controla la evolución de las galaxias, con la posible excepción de la interacción galaxia-galaxia, y se ha convertido en uno de los campos más investigados y discutidos en la astronomía actual. Los detalles de la interacción entre el contenido de gas de las galaxias y los procesos que disparan la

  • MINOR MERGER EFFECTS ON GALAXY EVOLUTION
    In this thesis we study the effect that minor mergers have on the evolution of galaxies. We focus on three topics: the size evolution of massive elliptical galaxies, metallicity gradients in elliptical galaxies, and the formation of the thick disc. To study if, in a ¿CDM universe, cosmological dry merger histories can generate the observed size

  • GLOBULAR CLUSTERS AS TRACERS OF THE HIERARCHICAL FORMATION OF THE MILKY WAY
    One of the main challenges for current cosmology is the conciliation, in a single theory, of the formation of large-scale structures in the Universe and the properties of nearby galaxies, including the Milky Way. The most widely accepted scenario is based on cold dark matter, in which a significant fraction of the galaxies observed at present were

  • STUDY OF THE MAGNETIC STRUCTURE OF ACTIVE REGION FILAMENTS
    El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de la estructura magnética de filamentos solares en regiones activas (RAs) y esclarecer su formación y evolución. Mientras que se han observado en numerosas ocasiones (y con diferentes resoluciones espaciales) filamentos fuera de RAs y sobre el limbo solar, el número de observaciones de filamentos en RAs es
