We are attempting to learn the circumstances under which bursts of star formation may be triggered around the nuclei of many nearby spiral galaxies. By...

We compare recent precise/reliable nebular abundances - as derived from high-quality optical spectra and the most recent ICFs - in a sample of Galactic...

We discuss spectral energy distributions, photometric redshifts, redshift distributions, luminosity functions, source-counts and the far infrared to optical...

Planes of satellites are observed in the Milky Way and Andromeda, and recent observations claim their presence as well in other nearby galactic systems...

This paper discusses benchmark brown dwarfs in various environments, and focuses on those in wide binary systems. We present a summary of the recently...

We use a sample of 33 H II regions with high and intermediate resolution spectroscopy to analyze the radial distribution of different elements in the Milky Way...

In this white paper we stressed the importance of ultraviolet (high- resolution) and optical (low- and high-) spectroscopy to understand of evolution of close...

The advances in bolometric detector technology during the last 15 years have allowed (sub)millimetre wavelength measurements to contribute important data to...

In the era of big surveys, integral-field units (IFUs) are starting to emerge as one of the most popular instruments to carry out forefront astronomy on large...
