The MELiSSA Pilot Plant Facility: Objectives and Integration Strategy
MELiSSA Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative is a closed artificial ecosystem intended as a tool for the development of a bio-regenerative life...
We present results on the disk-disk major merger fraction evolution up to z˜1 in SPITZER/IRAC selected samples in the GOODS-S field. We pick as merger remnants...
The merging/AGN connection: a case for 3D spectroscopy
We discuss an ongoing study of the connection between galaxy merging/interaction and AGN activity, based on integral field spectroscopy. We focus on the search...
The Metallicity Distribution and Its Gradients in the LMC via Calcium Triplet Spectroscopy
We present a new calibration of the CaII triplet as metallicity indicator based in 4 globular and 11 open clusters which cover a range of metallicity - 2≤[Fe/H]...
