DOI: 10.1016/j.asr.2018.10.012
Abstract: Abstract Binary or multiple stellar systems, constituting almost a third of the content of the Milky Way, represent a high priority astronomical target due to their repercussions on the stellar dynamical and evolutionary parameters. Moreover… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-018-0436-x
Abstract: Stellar population and stellar kinematic studies provide unique but complementary insights into how galaxies build-up their stellar mass and angular momentum1–3. A galaxy’s mean stellar age reveals when stars were formed, but provides little constraint… read more here.

DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201832625
Abstract: Fossil groups (FGs) are galaxy aggregates with an extended and luminous X-ray halo, which are dominated by a very massive early-type galaxy and lack of L* objects. FGs are indeed characterized by a large magnitude… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1166
Abstract: Binary stars have been shown to have a substantial impact on the integrated light of stellar populations, particularly at low metallicity and early ages - conditions prevalent in the distant Universe. But the fraction of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa328
Abstract: This paper studies pseudo-bulges (P-bulges) and classical bulges (C-bulges) in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) central galaxies using the new bulge indicator ΔΣ1, which measures relative central stellar-mass surface density within 1 kpc. We compare ΔΣ1… read more here.
