Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Next week we will have a visitor, Marco Mirabile, a PhD student from INAF (Italy), currently at ESO Garching for a studentship. He will be giving the lunch talk on Thursday 19th February (details below), invited as a prize for the best poster at the Galaxy
Memoirs conference in Brazil last year. His research focuses on using globular clusters as tracers of formation and interaction histories of galaxies in group and cluster environments. We will also be going for a meal on Thursday after work (location TBD),
so please let me know if you would like to join.</div>

clusters (GCs), as old and simple stellar systems, serve as important tracers of galaxy formation and evolution. By studying their properties—such as color, luminosity, spatial distribution, and kinematics—we gain insight into galaxy history, interactions, </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and
dark matter content. Recent deep imaging has revealed ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), a class of low-surface-brightness galaxies with unclear origins. Analyzing the GC populations in UDGs can help distinguish between their possible formation scenarios. I will
present our study of GCs in UDGs within the Hydra I cluster, using combined data from MUSE@VLT and VIRCAM@VISTA.</span></div>
