[Alumnos] Minicurso: Understanding galaxy formation and evolution with spatially resolved stellar populations

[Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica - FCAGLP]

Estimados,

los días martes 13 y jueves 15 de noviembre próximos, en el horario de 
9:00 a 11:00, el Dr. Carlos Eduardo Barbosa dará dos clases sobre su 
tópico de trabajo, el cual se centra en el análisis espectroscópico de 
poblaciones estelares no resueltas en galaxias de tipo temprano. El Dr. 
Barbosa, de la Universidad de San Pablo (Brasil) nos visita en carácter 
de Profesor Visitante. Los interesados en asistir a estas clases pueden 
confirmar su participación escribiendo a sesto en fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar

Saludos atentos,

Leandro Sesto

Title: Understanding galaxy formation and evolution with spatially 
resolved stellar populations

Summary: The technological advances in the past decade allowed us to 
explore in rich detail both the kinematics and distribution of metals 
and some chemical elements within galaxies, giving us important 
information about their formation and evolution. In these lectures, I 
will introduce the basic concepts of stellar populations, including an 
overview of the current methods and codes, their advantages, and 
shortcomings. I will also review the major scientific advances in the 
field obtained by successful surveys such as SAURON, CALIFA and ATLAS3D 
in the last decade, and describe the challenges for the current and the 
next generation of surveys. Finally, I will present some of my personal 
topics of interest in the field, including my work on the kinematics and 
stellar populations of NGC 3311, and the development of Bayesian methods 
to the study of stellar populations.
