    The Central Region in M100: Observations and Modeling
    We present new high-resolution observations of the central region in the late-type spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) supplemented by three-dimensional numerical...

    The central region of M83: massive star formation, kinematics, and the location and origin of the nucleus
    We report new near-IR integral field spectroscopy of the central starburst region of the barred spiral galaxy M83 obtained with Cambridge Infra-Red Panoramic...

    The central region of spiral galaxies as seen by Herschel. M 81, M 99, and M 100
    With appropriate spatial resolution, images of spiral galaxies in thermal infrared (~10 μm and beyond) often reveal a bright central component, distinct from...

    The centres of M83 and the Milky Way: opposite extremes of a common star formation cycle
    In the centres of the Milky Way and M83, the global environmental properties thought to control star formation are very similar. However, M83's nuclear star...

    The Cetus-Palca stream: A disrupted small dwarf galaxy. A prequel to the science possible with WEAVE with precise spectro-photometric distances
    We present a new fully data-driven approach to derive spectro-photometric distances based on artificial neural networks. The method was developed and tested on...

    The chemical content of nearby galaxies from planetary nebulae: NGC 147
    We report the results of spectroscopic observations, obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph, of eight planetary nebulae (PNe) in the dwarf...
