    Coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies
    Accretion onto a supermassive black hole (BH) is the most viable explanation for the huge emitted luminosity in active galaxies. Nowadays a wealth of...

    Constraints on Ultra-Light Dark Matter from Galactic Rotation Curves
    Bosonic ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) in the mass range m ~ $10^{-22} - 10^{-21} \rm eV$ has been invoked as a motivated candidate with new input for the small...

    Models of our Galaxy: why, how and what they do for us
    The study of the Milky is expected to have a major impact on our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve. "Near-field cosmology" is being vigorously...

    Observation of Diffuse Galactic Light Near the Galactic Center with ONC-T on Board Hayabusa2
    Diffuse Galactic light (DGL) is starlight scattered by interstellar dust. In visible wavelengths, earlier studies observed DGL toward regions of low optical...

    Probing the early Milky Way with the Pristine survey
    The lowest metallicity stars that still exist today represent a window into the early Universe. Studying these stars gives us a local avenue to guide our...

    The complex Milky Way history
    In this seminar I will focus on how the avalanche of new data changes our views on how our Galaxy formed and evolved. Precise astrometric, spectroscopic...

    The JCMT BISTRO Survey: Magnetic Fields Align with Orbital Structure in the Galactic Center
    We present the magnetic field in the dense material of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way, traced in 850 μm polarized dust emission as part of...

    The JCMT BISTRO Survey: Unveiling the Magnetic Fields around Galactic Center
    We acquired 450 and 850 μm dust continuum polarization observations toward the inner region of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) as part of the B-Fields In Star...

    The Large Scale IMF-from local studies to large scale Star-formation
    Over the past years observations of young and populous star clusters have shown that the stellar IMF appears to be an invariant featureless Salpeter power-law...
