    Galactic-Field Initial Mass Functions of Massive Stars
    Over the past years observations of young and populous star clusters have shown that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) appears to be an invariant...

    Galaxy stellar mass functions of different morphological types in clusters, and their evolution between z= 0.8 and 0
    We present the galaxy stellar mass function and its evolution in clusters from z˜ 0.8 to the current epoch, based on the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey...

    GalIMF–E-MILES library: Impact of an environment-dependent initial mass function on stellar population spectra
    We present, for the first time, model spectra of single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations computed with the E-MILES evolutionary synthesis code...

    Genuine spectral energy distribution of active galactic nuclei
    Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the central few tens of parsec region of some of the nearest active galactic nuclei (AGN) are presented. Peering into...

    HerMES: The Far-infrared Emission from Dust-obscured Galaxies
    Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) are an ultraviolet-faint, infrared-bright galaxy population that reside at z ~ 2 and are believed to be in a phase of dusty star...

    Herschel-ATLAS: Evolution of the 250 µm luminosity function out to z = 0.5
    We have determined the luminosity function of 250 μm-selected galaxies detected in the ~14 deg2 science demonstration region of the Herschel-ATLAS project out...

    High redshift galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey. II. Strengthening the evidence of bright-end excess in UV luminosity functions at 2.5 ≤ z≤ 4.5 by PDF analysis
    Context. Knowing the exact shape of the ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF) of high-redshift galaxies is important to understand the star formation...

    Hα luminosity function of H II regions: preliminary calibration of a powerful standard candle
    We propose the use of the H II region luminosity function (LF) as a refined powerful standard candle for extragalactic distances. We have found evidence of a...

    Impact of metallicity and star formation rate on the time-dependent, galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function
    The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is commonly assumed to be an invariant probability density distribution function of initial stellar masses. These...
