    The star formation history of different types of dwarf galaxies
    We are going to present a new code to derive the SFH of a complex stellar population system, like a galaxy. This code has been used to obtain the SFH of six...

    The star formation history of galaxies: the role of galaxy mass, morphology and environment
    We analyse the star formation history (SFH) of galaxies as a function of present-day environment, galaxy stellar mass and morphology. The SFH is derived by...

    The star formation rates of QSOs
    We examine the far-infrared (FIR) properties of a sample of 5391 optically selected QSOs in the 0.5 < z < 2.65 redshift range down to log [νL ν, 2500(erg s -1)]...

    The star formation timescale of elliptical galaxies. Fitting [Mg/Fe] and total metallicity simultaneously
    The alpha element to iron peak element ratio, for example [Mg/Fe], is a commonly applied indicator of the galaxy star formation timescale (SFT) since the two...

    The starburst galaxy NGC 7714
    Narowband H alpha imaging and long-slit optical and near-infrared spectroscopy are analyzed in a study of the starburst galaxy NGC 7714. The data indicate that...

    The striking near-infrared morphology of the inner region in M100
    New optical and near-infrared (NIR) K-band images of the inner 3 kpc region of the nearby Virgo spiral M100 (NGC 4321) display remarkable morphological changes...

    The Structure of the Underlying Stellar Host in Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies
    Nowadays it is well established that BCDs are mostly old systems, as the vast majority of them have an extended low-surface brightness (LSB) stellar host...
