    Sampling methods for stellar masses and the mmax-Mecl relation in the starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 4214
    It has been claimed in the recent literature that a non-trivial relation between the mass of the most-massive star, mmax, in a star cluster and its embedded...

    San Pedro Mártir observations of microvariability in obscured quasars
    Fast brightness variations are a unique tool to probe the innermost regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN). These variations are called microvariability or...

    Satellite galaxies can carry on forming stars when they pass close to their parent galaxies
    Historically most scientists thought that once a satellite galaxy has passed close by its higher mass parent galaxy its star formation would stop because the...
