    The Fornax 3D project: dust mix and gas properties in the centre of early-type galaxy FCC 167
    Galaxies continuously reprocess their interstellar material. We can therefore expect changing dust grain properties in galaxies that have followed different...

    The Galactic initial mass function: origin in the combined mass distribution functions of dust grains and gas clouds
    We present here a theoretical model to account for the stellar initial mass function (IMF) as a result of the composite behaviour of the gas and dust...

    The Iron Abundance in Galactic Planetary Nebulae
    We constrain the iron abundance in a sample of 33 low-ionization Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) using [Fe III] lines and correcting for the contribution of...

    The Kinematics of the Ionized and Molecular Hydrogen in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253
    Near-infrared H2 1-0 5(1) and Brγ velocity curves along the major axis of NGC 253 have revealed a central velocity gradient that is 7 times steeper than that...

    The Large Magellanic Cloud as a laboratory for hot bottom burning in massive asymptotic giant branch stars
    We use Spitzer observations of the rich population of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to test models describing the...

    The little-studied cluster Berkeley 90. I. LS III +46 11: a very massive O3.5 If* + O3.5 If* binary
    Context. It appears that most (if not all) massive stars are born in multiple systems. At the same time, the most massive binaries are hard to find owing to...

    The little-studied cluster Berkeley 90. II. The foreground ISM
    Context. Nearly one century after their discovery, the carrier or carriers of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) is/are still unknown and there are few...

    The long bar as seen by the VVV Survey. II. Star counts
    Context. There is still some debate about the presence and the morphological properties of the long bar in the inner Galaxy. Aims: We investigate the...

    The MUSE view of the planetary nebula NGC 3132
    Aims: Two-dimensional spectroscopic data for the whole extent of the NGC 3132 planetary nebula have been obtained. We deliver a reduced data-cube and high...
