... Your main research interests concern galactic structure. ... For example, the division of stars in our galaxy into dynamically and chemically different populations (the thin and thick disks, halo and bulge) is surely telling us something crucial about how our galaxy formed. ... By looking at the different stellar populations, we could determine when different bits of gas arrived in our galaxy, and what types of stars they formed. ...

... We have used deep 1.4GHz VLA observations of the ECDFS (rms~6 microJy) to study the sub-mJy radio source population. The sub-mJy radio sky is a complex mix of star-forming galaxies and radio quiet AGN, with a declining radio-loud AGN component. ... During my PhD thesis I have used deep XMM-Newton observations in the Lockman Hole and later 1Ms-2Ms-4Ms-(7Ms) Chandra observation in the CDF-S. In COSMOS I have used both XMM and Chandra imaging of the 2 square degree area.б  . CDFS 1Ms . ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...

... High-resolution Near-infrared Study of the Deeply Embedded Young Stellar Object S140 IRS 3 . ... P22P We explore the structures immediately surrounding the high-mass young stellar object S140 IRS 3 within the L1204 molecular cloud. ... The S-shaped structure of this feature can be well reproduced by a model assuming a precessing outflow from IRS 3a. Furthermore, we find several elongated features pointing away from IRS 3 in a southern direction. ...

... In this talk, I will discuss a study of the effect of ionization on the low end of HI mass function. The existence of a large population of low mass galaxies follows from CDM theory. ... HIDEEP found no low HI column density galaxies. One possible explanation is that the disks are "frozen". ... We assume that galaxies are exposed to an ionizing background radiation, from a uniform quasar distribution. ... We find a gap in the average column densities around N H which drops to 10 17 cm -2 . ...

... A tutorial on multispectral imaging of paintings using the Mona Lisa as a case study . ... Conclusions: In this article, we have presented a tutorial description of the multispectral acquisition of images from a signal processing point of view. ... I wonder if there?s literature in astronomy matching this tutorial from which we may expand and improve current astronomical photometry processes by adopting strategies developed by more populated signal/image processing engineers and statisticians. ...

Research questions include: . The solar system probably formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a giant disk of gas, dust and ice in space. ... All forms of life on Earth require liquid water to survive, so the presence of liquid water is a good criterion for deciding whether other planets in the universe could be habitable. Earth is the only habitable planet in the solar system. ... Planets and moons in the outer solar system are too cold for liquid water. ...

... Gravitational wave search provides insights into galaxy evolution and mergers . ... Hubble and Galaxy Zoo find bars and baby galaxies donт??t mix . ... Harnessing the power of both the Hubble Space Telescope and the citizen-science project Galaxy Zoo, scientists from the University of Portsmouth have found that bar-shaped features in spiral galaxies accelerate the galaxy aging process. ... Many galaxies with spiral shapes, like our Milky Way Galaxy, also have central bar-shaped features. ...

... Since IRS 7 at the Galactic center was identified as a luminous red supergiant (Lebofsky et al. 1982), a lasting debate has been initiated whether the nucleus of the Milky Way galaxy had experienced a recent star formation episode. ... 1993). ... 1994). ... Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) and Schaerer (1994) proposed starburst models which would be able to account for a young stellar population at the Galactic center, although the origin of some peculiar hot stars still remains to be explained (Tamblyn et al...
