Welcome to ESO Extragalactic Group Page!

almhunit


Our group is composed by ESO staff astronomers, fellows and students interested in extragalactic science.
The topic is quite broad and indeed, as you can see here, each one of us has his/her own specific interest.
However it was felt by many of us that it would be very constructive for our science life to get together
and share our projects, thoughts and ideas. So the group was borne and, for the moment,
its main activities are to organize and coordinate joint scientific projects between all or some
of its members, to have periodical journal clubs and to organize and alert team members to/for scientific meetings related to the group.
