    IC 10: More evidence that it is a blue compact dwarf
    We present optical spectroscopy of H Ii regions in the Local Group galaxy IC 10 and UBVR photometry of foreground stars in three fields towards this galaxy...

    Identification of red supergiants in nearby galaxies with mid-IR photometry
    Context. The role of episodic mass loss in massive-star evolution is one of the most important open questions of current stellar evolution theory. Episodic mass...

    Identification of tidal features in deep optical galaxy images with convolutional neural networks
    Interactions between galaxies leave distinguishable imprints in the form of tidal features, which hold important clues about their mass assembly. Unfortunately...

    Identifying Sagittarius Stream Stars by Their APOGEE Chemical Abundance Signatures
    The SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey provides precise chemical abundances of 18 chemical elements for ∼176,000 red...

    ILLUSTRating red nugget assembly through observations and simulations
    The properties of massive and compact early-type galaxies provide important constraints on early galaxy formation processes. Among these, massive relic galaxies...

    Images from the Hubble Space Telescope and GRANTECAN help to show how the first galaxies were formed
    One of the most interesting questions for astrophysicists for the past few decades is how and when did the first galaxies form. One of the possible answers to...

    Imaging the Environment of a z = 6.3 Submillimeter Galaxy with SCUBA-2
    We describe a search for submillimeter emission in the vicinity of one of the most distant, luminous galaxies known, HerMES FLS3, at z = 6.34, exploiting it as...

    IMF and [Na/Fe] abundance ratios from optical and NIR spectral features in early-type galaxies
    We present a joint analysis of the four most prominent sodium-sensitive features (Na D, Na I λ8190Å, Na I λ1.14 μm, and Na I λ2.21 μm), in the optical and near...
