Extragalactic Research Group

Welcome to the web-page of the ESO-Chile Extragalactic Research Group (ERG). You can find detailed information about our group using the links on the right. If you wish to subscribe to our mailing list, please use this page.

We hold group meetings twice per month in which recent results are presented. If you are planning to visit ESO-Chile, this is a terrific opportunity to meet our group. Just send an email to any of the group coordinators (you can find who they are using the link on the right).

We have currently over 20 members including staff astronomers, fellows, PhD and MSc students. The group as a whole has a broad range of scientific interests, covering many topics related to the formation and evolution of galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
