    Dissecting local (U)LIRGs: A near-IR integral field spectroscopy perspective
    The importance of Luminous and Ultraluminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) in the context of the cosmological evolution of the star-formation has been well...

    Distribution of star formation in galactic bars as seen with Hα and stacked GALEX UV imaging
    Context. Stellar bars are known to gradually funnel gas to the central parts of disk galaxies. It remains a matter of debate why the distribution of ionized gas...

    Do spiral arms enhance star formation efficiency?
    Spiral arms, as those of our own Milky Way, are some of the most spectacular features in disc galaxies. It has been argued that star formation should proceed...

    Dust in the Reionization Era: ALMA Observations of a z = 8.38 Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy
    We report on the detailed analysis of a gravitationally lensed Y-band dropout, A2744_YD4, selected from deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging in the Frontier...

    Dust-obscured star formation in the outskirts of XMMU J2235.3-2557, a massive galaxy cluster at z = 1.4
    Star formation (SF) in the galaxy populations of local massive clusters is reduced with respect to field galaxies, and tends to be suppressed in the core region...

    Dynamical simulations of the interacting galaxies in the NGC 520/UGC 957 system
    Numerical simulations of the interacting galaxies in the NGC 520/UGC 957 system are presented. Two sets of models were produced to investigate the postulated...

    Effect of the local and large-scale environment on the star formation histories of galaxies
    Context. The specific environment of galaxies may play a key role in their evolution. Large extragalactic surveys make it possible to study galaxies not only...

    Electron densities in HII regions across galaxy discs
    When we measure the electron density within an H II region using ratios of emission lines we find characteristic values in the range of 100-300 cm -3. But when...
