We investigate the effects of numerous dark matter subhalos in a galaxy-sized halo on the events of strong lensing, to assess their presence as expected from the cold dark matter scenario. Lens galaxies are represented by a smooth ellipsoid…
A summary of new experimental results and recent theoretical developments discussed in the "Hadronic Final States and QCD" working group is presented.
This paper presents a summary of the theoretical presentations to the international workshop "Diffraction 2006". The range of topics covered during the workshop was quite broad and this summary is therefore somewhat selective covering…
I provide a summary of the theoretical talks in Hard Probes 2012 together with some personal thoughts about the present and the future of the field.
The present note updates the information published in my recent monograph on \underline{The Galaxies of the Local Group}. Highlights include (1) the addition of the newly discovered Cetus dwarf spheroidal as a certain member of the Local…
A recent all-object spectroscopic survey centred on the Fornax cluster of galaxies, has discovered a population of sub-luminous and extremely compact members, called ``ultra-compact dwarf'' (UCD) galaxies. In order to clarify the origin of…
With over 200 registered participants, this fully online conference allowed theorists and observers across the globe to discuss recent findings on the central structures of disc galaxies. By design, this conference included experts on the…

Review paper presented at the meeting "Formation of the Galactic Halo: Inside and Out", Tucson, October 1995.
The Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies offer a unique window to the detailed properties of the most common type of galaxy in the Universe. In this review, I update the census of LG dwarfs based on the most recent distance and radial velocity…
We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array to image the neutral hydrogen in the merging system NGC 3256, to test the idea that globular clusters (GC) form during the interactions and mergers of disk galaxies. We compare our…
We present the first results from GALAXY CRUISE, a community (or citizen) science project based on data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP). The current paradigm of galaxy evolution suggests that galaxies grow…
Dwarf galaxies provide opportunities for drawing inferences about the processes in the early universe by observing our "cosmological backyard"-the Local Group and its vicinity. This special issue of the open-access journal Advances in…
The Workshop on Biobanking Informatics in NSW 2013 (WBIN13) was held on Friday, 10 May 2013 at The Wallace Wurth Building in the University of New South Wales. This report summarises the keynotes, presentations and discussions in WBIN13…
Groups, in which every subgroup containing some fixed primary cyclic subgroup has a complement, are investigated.
This is a brief introduction to the closing discussion of the IAU Symposium 295, "The Intriguing Life of Massive Galaxies", that was held in Beijing from August 27 through 31, 2012. The discussion was focused on only four hot items, namely…
In this brief proceedings article I summarize the review talk I gave at the IAU 246 meeting in Capri, Italy, glossing over the well-known results from the literature, but paying particular attention to new, previously unpublished material.…
The formation of galaxies in hierarchical cosmogonies is studied using high resolution N-body plus SPH hydrodynamics simulations. The collapse of structure is followed self-consistently from Mpc scale filamentary structures to kpc scale…
A new compilation of data on Local Group members shows that low-luminosity early-type galaxies are, at the 99% confidence level, more strongly concentrated in the M 31, and Galactic sub-clumps, than are dwarf irregular galaxies. It is not…
Galaxy groups are more than an intermediate scale between clusters and halos hosting individual galaxies, they are crucial laboratories capable of testing a range of astrophysics from how galaxies form and evolve to large scale structure…
