Starmus is a global festival of science communication and art that brings together the most brilliant minds on the planet. The festival is a gathering of top artists and scientists celebrated every two years. The aim of the project is to inspire and educate the next generation of explorers and regenerate the spirit of discovery. Starmus combines

We present the star formation history (SFH) of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy based on deep g, r photometry taken with Dark Energy Camera at the Blanco telescope, focusing our analysis on the central region of the galaxy extended up to ˜3 core radii. We have investigated how the SFH changes radially, subdividing the sampled area into four

With the aim of probing the properties of the bright end of the Pristine survey and its effectiveness in selecting metal-poor stars, we selected a sample of bright candidate metal-poor stars combining Pristine CaHK photometry with APASS gi photometry, before the Gaia second data release became available. These stars were observed with the SOPHIE

We present a convenient, all-in-one framework for the scientific analysis of fully reduced, (integral-field) spectroscopic data. The Galaxy IFU Spectroscopy Tool (GIST) is entirely written in Python 3 and conducts all the steps from the preparation of input data to the scientific analysis and to the production of publication-quality plots. In its

Context. We present the study of a magnitude limited sample (mB ≤ 16.6 mag) of 13 late type galaxies (LTGs), observed inside the virial radius, Rvir ˜ 0.7 Mpc, of the Fornax cluster within the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS). Aims: The main objective is to use surface brightness profiles and g - i colour maps to obtain information on the internal

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) appear to be some of the most dark matter (DM)-dominated objects in the Universe. Their dynamical masses are commonly derived using the kinematics of stars under the assumption of equilibrium. However, these objects are satellites of massive galaxies (e.g. the Milky Way) and thus can be influenced by their tidal
