Understanding the connection between mass assembly and star-formation rate is a key question in galaxy formation. It is now well-established that a significant...

One of the most exciting possibilities enabled by transiting exoplanets is to measure their atmospheric properties through the technique of transmission...

I will present new results regarding the first ~2 Gyrs of cosmic time using very wide-field Lyman-alpha (Lya) narrow-band surveys, including a large, matched...

Massive stars dominate the light output of entire galaxies, with luminosities in excess of 10 5 L⊙. This makes them powerful probes with which to study a range...

Series: XXVIII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics: Solar System Exploration Topic: Exploring the Outer Solar System Lecture 1: TNOs: a brief history...

The extragalactic background light (EBL) is of fundamental importance both for understanding the entire process of galaxy evolution and for gamma-ray astronomy...

As of today, we know now more than 3000 planets orbiting other stars. The detection of planets through radial velocity gathers special attention in the world of...

The spectral analysis of HII regions allows one to determine the chemical composition of the ionized gas phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) from the solar...

FeII comprises up to one third of the line emission in AGNs. For that reason it is an important coolant that needs to be taken into accountto fully understand...
