    Dissecting NGC 3132: tracing the mass-loss history of the southern ring planetary nebula
    Central to our understanding of stellar evolution and its impact on processes in our Galaxy and across the Universe is the study of mass-loss. While the general...
  • Publication
    Dissecting the cosmic infra-red background with Herschel/PEP
    The constituents of the cosmic IR background (CIB) are studied at its peak wavelengths (100 and 160 μm) by exploiting Herschel/PACS observations of the GOODS-N...
  • Publication
    Dissecting the long-term emission behaviour of the BL Lac object Mrk 421
    We report on long-term multiwavelength monitoring of blazar Mrk 421 by the GLAST-AGILE Support Program of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (GASP-WEBT)...
  • Publication
    Dissecting the morphological and spectroscopic properties of galaxies in the local Universe. I. Elliptical galaxies
    Aims: We revisit the scaling relations and star-forming histories of local elliptical galaxies using a novel selection method applied to the Sloan Digital Sky...
  • Publication
    Dissecting the size evolution of elliptical galaxies since z˜ 1: puffing-up versus minor-merging scenarios
    At a fixed stellar mass, the size of low-redshift early-type galaxies is found to be a factor of 2 larger than that of their counterparts at z˜ 1, a result with...
  • Publication
    Dissecting the Spitzer colour-magnitude diagrams of extreme Large Magellanic Cloud asymptotic giant branch stars
    We trace the full evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars (1 ≤ M ≤ 8 M⊙) during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase in the Spitzer two-colour and...
  • Publication
    Dissecting the stellar content of Leo I: a dwarf irregular caught in transition
    Leo I is considered one of the youngest dwarf spheroidals (dSph) in the Local Group. Its isolation, extended star formation history (SFH), and recent...

    Dissecting the Strong-lensing Galaxy Cluster MS 0440.5+0204. I. The Mass Density Profile
    We present a parametric strong-lensing modeling of the galaxy cluster MS 0440.5+0204 (located at z = 0.19). We have performed a strong-lensing mass...
  • Publication
    Distance and reddening of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822
    On the basis of a new photometric analysis of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NCG 6822 based on observations obtained with the Advanced Camera for...
