Low dimensional visualization and modelling of data using distance-based models
… called continuous multi-dimensional scaling (cMDS) is proposed, which allows to visualize the changes in the data structure in a simple and efficient way as the distance function varies. The algorithm is a variant of dynamical MDS and is based on the Concave-Convex Procedure (CCCP). To address …

A spectroscopic and photometric study of stellar populations in a sample of clusters in the Magellanic Clouds
… clusters via the comparison between the observed CMDs and theoretical isochrones. The determination of the age of a stellar population requires an accurate measure of the Main Sequence (MS) Turn-Off (TO) luminosity and the knowledge of the distance modulus, reddening and overall metallicity. For …
