We present the results of two-dimensional, grid-type hydrodynamical simulations, with parsec-scale central resolution, for the evolution of the hot gas in isolated early-type galaxies (ETGs). The simulations include a physically self-consistent treatment of the mechanical (from winds) and radiative AGN feedback, and were run for a large set of

We present surface photometry and stellar kinematics of NGC 4264, a lenticular galaxy in the region of the Virgo Cluster undergoing a tidal interaction with its neighbour, NGC 4261. We measured the bar radius and strength from SDSS imaging and the bar pattern speed from MUSE integral-field spectroscopy. We find that NGC 4264 hosts a strong and

With the LAMOST DR4 and Gaia DR2 common red clump giant stars, we investigate the three-dimensional kinematics of Milky Way disk stars in mono-age populations between Galactocentric distances of R = 6 and 15 kpc. We confirm the 3D asymmetrical motions of recent works, and provide time tagging of the Galactic outer disk asymmetrical motions. Radial

The recent discovery of low-amplitude dipolar oscillation mixed modes in massive red giants indicates the presence of a missing physical process inside their cores. Stars more massive than ∼ 1.3 M ☉ are known to develop a convective core during the main-sequence: the dynamo process triggered by this convection could be the origin of a strong

Rotation plays an important role in the evolution of stars. For decades rotation-age relationships have been used as surface rotation can be measured rather easily. Here we show the result of the measurement of rotation periods for a large number of Kepler solar-like stars along with their level of magnetic activity. We also study solar-like stars

During the last morning of the conference, a one-hour open discussion allowed the participants to debate some of the "hot" topics presented all along the meeting as well as on some of the key issues in the field mostly related with the work Prof. Michael J. Thompson studied during his carrier. The discussion covered theory and methods, current and
