    The Scutum-Crux Complex: Tying massive stellar formation with the overall structure of the Milky Way
    With the discovery of several massive, young clusters in the last five years, the area around the base of the Scutum-Crux arm (around l=28) has become one of...

    The second-closest gamma-ray burst: sub-luminous GRB 111005A with no supernova in a super-solar metallicity environment
    We report the detection of the radio afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 111005A at 5-345 GHz, including very long baseline interferometry observations...

    The star formation history of different types of dwarf galaxies
    We are going to present a new code to derive the SFH of a complex stellar population system, like a galaxy. This code has been used to obtain the SFH of six...

    The star formation history of galaxies: the role of galaxy mass, morphology and environment
    We analyse the star formation history (SFH) of galaxies as a function of present-day environment, galaxy stellar mass and morphology. The SFH is derived by...

    The star formation rates of QSOs
    We examine the far-infrared (FIR) properties of a sample of 5391 optically selected QSOs in the 0.5 < z < 2.65 redshift range down to log [νL ν, 2500(erg s -1)]...

    The star formation timescale of elliptical galaxies. Fitting [Mg/Fe] and total metallicity simultaneously
    The alpha element to iron peak element ratio, for example [Mg/Fe], is a commonly applied indicator of the galaxy star formation timescale (SFT) since the two...

    The starburst galaxy NGC 7714
    Narowband H alpha imaging and long-slit optical and near-infrared spectroscopy are analyzed in a study of the starburst galaxy NGC 7714. The data indicate that...
