A Multiwavelength Classification and Study of Red Supergiant Candidates in NGC 6946
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have combined resolved stellar photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Spitzer, and Gaia to identify red supergiant (RSG) candidates in NGC 6946, based on their colors, proper motions, visual morphologies, and spectral energy distributions.

Origins of the Evil Eye: M64's Stellar Halo Reveals the Recent Accretion of an SMC-mass Satellite
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 M64, often called the “Evil Eye” galaxy, is unique among local galaxies. Beyond its dramatic, dusty nucleus, it also hosts an outer gas disk that counter-rotates relative to its stars.

Multiple Stellar Populations at Less Evolved Stages. III. A Possible Helium Spread in NGC 2210
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Helium variations are common features of globular clusters (GCs) with multiple stellar populations. All the formation scenarios predict that secondary population stars are enhanced in helium, but the exact helium content depends on the polluters ...

The Masses of Supernova Remnant Progenitors in M33
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Using resolved optical stellar photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury Triangulum Extended Region survey, we measured the star formation history near the position of 85 supernova remnants (SNRs) in M33.

RR Lyrae Variables as Tracers of the Galactic Bulge Kinematic Structure
Universe, 2022 RR Lyrae stars are recognized as some of the oldest stars in the Universe. In addition, they are some of the few old celestial objects for which distances can be reliably inferred.

Multiple Populations in Star Clusters
Universe, 2022 We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): i.e., the evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or distinct sequences in photometric diagrams.

Light Elements in the Universe
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Due to their production sites, as well as to how they are processed and destroyed in stars, the light elements are excellent tools to investigate a number of crucial issues in modern astrophysics: from stellar structure and non-standard processes at work

The “Building Blocks” of Stellar Halos
Galaxies, 2017 The stellar halos of galaxies encode their accretion histories. In particular, the median metallicity of a halo is determined primarily by the mass of the most massive accreted object.

Looking into dark matter with asteroseismology
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Dark matter remains as an elusive component of modern Cosmology. According to previous research, stellar physics observables can be affected by the presence of hypothetical dark matter particles, which can be produced or accreted into the stars.

Astroserver – Research Services in the Stellar Webshop
Open Astronomy, 2017 A quick look at research and development in astronomy shows that we live in exciting times. Exoplanetary systems, supernovae, and merging binary black holes were far out of reach for observers two decades ago and now such phenomena are recorded routinely.
