    Detailed chemical composition of the globular cluster Sextans A GC-1 on the outskirts of the Local Group
    Context. The chemical composition of globular clusters (GCs) across the Local Group provides information on chemical abundance trends. Studying GCs in isolated...

    Detection and measurement of expanding ionized shells around young star clusters
    We present a new method (BUBBLY) for detecting expanding components of ionized gas using integral field spectroscopy, showing its capabilities not only in...

    Diversity of nuclear star cluster formation mechanisms revealed by their star formation histories
    Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found in the centres of all types of galaxies. They are thought to form via...

    Dusty supernovae running the thermodynamics of the matter reinserted by young stellar clusters
    Following the observational and theoretical evidence that points at core collapse supernovae as major producers of dust, we calculate the hydrodynamics of the...

    Dusty Supernovae Running the Thermodynamics of the Matter Reinserted within Young and Massive Super Stellar Clusters
    Following the observational and theoretical evidence that points at core-collapse supernovae (SNe) as major producers of dust, here we calculate the...

    Dynamical Constraints on the Formation of NGC 4472 and Its Globular Clusters
    We present new radial velocities for 87 globular clusters around the elliptical galaxy NGC 4472 and combine these with our previously published data to create a...

    Dynamical evolution of globular cluster systems in clusters of galaxies - I. The case of NGC 1404 in the Fornax cluster
    We investigate, via numerical simulations, the tidal stripping and accretion of globular clusters (GCs). In particular, we focus on creating models that...

    Effect of the initial mass function on the dynamical SMBH mass estimate in the nucleated early-type galaxy FCC 47
    Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and nuclear star clusters (NSCs) co-exist in many galaxies. While the formation history of the black hole is essentially lost...

    El cúmulo Westerlund 1: un vivero de estrellas gigantes entre tinieblas
    Un equipo científico, liderado por la Universidad de Alicante y en el que participa el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), ha conseguido estudiar en...
