Giulia Ventimiglia homepage






Hello, I am Giulia!

I am a post-doc at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching. In the last three years my work has been focused on the study of the Intracluster light (ICL) properties in galaxy clusters in the nearby universe. I have studied the physical characteristics and kinematics of the Intracluster Planetary Nebulae (PNs) in the Hydra I cluster.
