    The stellar populations of the Milky Way satellites: the early Universe through the color-magnitude diagram
    The Milky Way satellites offer the possibility of studying their star formation histories in great detail. Color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) reaching the old main...

    The stellar spectral features of nearby galaxies in the near infrared: tracers of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars?
    We analyse the stellar absorption features in high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) near-infrared (NIR) spectra of the nuclear region of 12 nearby galaxies, mostly...

    The Stellar Velocity Distribution Function in the Milky Way Galaxy
    The stellar velocity distribution function in the solar vicinity is reexamined using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Apache Point Observatory Galactic...

    The stochastic nature of stellar population modelling
    Since the early 1970s, stellar population modelling has been one of the basic tools for understanding the physics of unresolved systems from observation of...

    The strange case of Na I in the atmosphere of HD 209458 b. Reconciling low- and high-resolution spectroscopic observations
    Aims: We aim to investigate the origin of the discrepant results reported in the literature about the presence of Na I in the atmosphere of HD 209458 b, based...

    The striking near-infrared morphology of the inner region in M100
    New optical and near-infrared (NIR) K-band images of the inner 3 kpc region of the nearby Virgo spiral M100 (NGC 4321) display remarkable morphological changes...

    The Strong Gravitationally Lensed Herschel Galaxy HLock01: Optical Spectroscopy Reveals a Close Galaxy Merger with Evidence of Inflowing Gas
    The submillimeter galaxy (SMG) HERMES J105751.1+573027 (hereafter HLock01) at z = 2.9574 ± 0.0001 is one of the brightest gravitationally lensed sources...

    The structural properties of classical bulges and discs from z ̃ 2
    We study the rest-frame optical mass-size relation of bulges and discs from z ̃ 2 to z ̃ 0 for a complete sample of massive galaxies in the CANDELS fields using...

    The structure and kinematics of the HH 444 photoionized jet in the sigma Orionis region
    HH 444 is a stellar jet which is immersed in the H II region photoionized by sigma Orionis. Spatially resolved, high spectral resolution observations of the Hα...
