    Mild radial variations of the stellar IMF in the bulge of M31
    Using new, homogeneous, long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength range from ~0.35 to $\sim 1 \, \mu$m, we study radial gradients of optical and near-infrared...

    Mild Velocity Dispersion Evolution of massive galaxies since z~2
    Making use of public spectra from Cimatti et al. (2008), we measure for the first time the velocity dispersion of spheroid-like massive (M* ~ 1011M&sun;)...

    Mild Velocity Dispersion Evolution of Spheroid-Like Massive Galaxies Since z ~ 2
    Making use of public spectra from Cimatti et al., we measure for the first time the velocity dispersion of spheroid-like massive (M sstarf ~ 1011 M sun)...
  • Publication
    MILES base models & new line index system (Vazdekis+, 2010)
    We present synthetic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations (SSPs) covering the full optical spectral range...

    MILES extended: Stellar population synthesis models from the optical to the infrared
    We present the first single-burst stellar population models, which covers the optical and the infrared wavelength range between 3500 and 50 000 Å and which are...
  • Publication
    MILES SSP Models
    We present SEDs for single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations (SSPs) covering the full optical spectral range at resolution (FWHM = 2.3Å). These SEDs...

    Minor axis kinematics of 19 S0-Sbc bulges
    We present minor axis kinematic profiles for a well-studied sample of 19 early- to intermediate-type disk galaxies. We introduce, for the first time, the use of...

    Minor Merger Origin for the Circumnuclear Starburst in NGC 7742
    We present an emission-line diagnostic analysis of integral-field spectroscopic observations that cover the central kiloparsec of NGC 7742. This Sa galaxy hosts...

    Mirach's Goblin: Discovery of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy behind the Andromeda galaxy
    Context. It is of broad interest for galaxy formation theory to carry out a full inventory of the numbers and properties of dwarf galaxies, both satellite and...
