About

M. Arnaboldi is a leading astrophysicist whose work bridges cutting-edge instrumentation and fundamental questions about galaxy evolution. Her primary research areas include the dynamics of elliptical galaxies, the kinematics of planetary nebulae, and the development of next-generation spectroscopic facilities. Arnaboldi is perhaps best known for her pioneering use of planetary nebulae as tracers of dark matter halos and stellar populations in the outskirts of galaxies, a technique that has reshaped our understanding of galaxy assembly. She has been instrumental in advancing the MANIFEST fibre-fed positioning system for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), a project that will dramatically enhance the GMT’s spectroscopic multiplexing. Her most cited work, including the 2024 paper on MANIFEST (2 citations), reflects her leadership in designing instruments that enable large-scale surveys of faint extragalactic structures. With over 10,000 total citations and an h-index exceeding 50, Arnaboldi’s impact is felt both in the discovery of diffuse light around galaxies and in the technical innovations that make such discoveries possible. She is a key figure in the European Southern Observatory community and a frequent collaborator on international surveys.
