VIMOS-IFU Spectroscopy of Extragalactic Star Forming Complexes
We present VLT-VIMOS-IFU spectroscopy of the overlap region in the merging Antennae galaxies (NGC∼4038/39). This regions contains six complexes of young massive clusters, three of which display strong Wolf-Rayet ...

Scalable N-body Code for the Modeling of Early-type Galaxies
Early-type galaxies exhibit a wealth of photometric and dynamical structures. These signatures are fossil records of their formation and evolution processes. In order to examine these structures in detail, we ...
