    Connecting stars and ionised gas with integral-field spectroscopy
    Using integral-field spectroscopy, the SAURON survey has shown that early-type galaxies, once thought to be essentially devoid of gas, commonly show ionised gas...

    Decoupling the host and nuclear spectra of type I AGNs using integral field spectroscopy: A test on 3C 120
    We have developed a new technique to decouple the spectra of the host and the nucleus of type I AGNs using integral field spectroscopy data. The technique is a...

    Evolutionary synthesis models for the emission from radioactive isotopes in H II regions
    We have extended our evolutionary synthesis models for Star Forming Regions to the γ-ray domain. Applying different yields to the resulting synthetic...
