    Effect of the local and large-scale environment on the star formation histories of galaxies
    Context. The specific environment of galaxies may play a key role in their evolution. Large extragalactic surveys make it possible to study galaxies not only...

    Electron densities in HII regions across galaxy discs
    When we measure the electron density within an H II region using ratios of emission lines we find characteristic values in the range of 100-300 cm -3. But when...

    Emission-line maps with OSIRIS-TF: The case of M101
    We investigate the suitability of GTC/OSIRIS Tunable Filters (TFs) for obtaining emission-line maps of extended objects. We developed a technique to reconstruct...

    Enhanced star formation rates in AGN hosts with respect to inactive galaxies from PEP-Herschel observations
    We compare the average star formation (SF) activity in X-ray selected AGN hosts with a mass-matched control sample of inactive galaxies, including both star...
