    Seventeen new very low-mass members in Taurus. The brown dwarf deficit revisited
    Recent studies of the substellar population in the Taurus cloud have revealed a deficit of brown dwarfs compared to the Trapezium cluster population. However...

    SpS5 - I. Obscured and distant clusters
    This first part of Special Session 5 explored the current status of infrared-based observations of obscured and distant stellar clusters in the Milky Way galaxy...

    Star counts in the Galaxy. Simulating from very deep to very shallow photometric surveys with the TRILEGAL code
    We describe TRILEGAL, a new populations synthesis code for simulating the stellar photometry of any Galaxy field. The code attempts to improve upon several...

    Star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud. III. A study of the regions LMC-30, LMC-45 and LMC-61.
    In this paper we present the BV-CCD photometry of three stellar fields of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). They are taken at the center of V-charts of the...

    Stellar Feedback and the Evolution of Young Embedded Star Clusters
    In this contribution we present the first results of an theoretical attempt to address the question of the evacuation time-scale but also the star-formation...

    Structure and evolution of low-mass Population II stars
    The focus of the present paper is on the detailed description of the internal structures of low mass, population II stars, to clarify some issues about these...

    Surveys for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs: Solar Neighbourhood and intermediate-age clusters Alpha Per and Collinder 359
    Lipid bilayers are key components of biomembranes; they are self-assembled two-dimensional structures, primarily serving as barriers to the leakage of cell's...

    System initial mass function of the 25 Ori group from planetary-mass objects to intermediate/high-mass stars
    The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is an essential input for many astrophysical studies but only in a few cases has it been determined over the whole...

    Testing the fragmentation limit in the Upper Sco association
    We present the results of a deep (J˜ 21 at 5σ) infrared photometric survey of a 0.95-deg2 area in the central region of the Upper Sco association. The...
