We study the interstellar medium (ISM) properties as a function of the molecular gas size for 77 infrared-selected galaxies at z ~ 1.3, having stellar masses 10...

Super star clusters (M ecl > 105 M sun) are the largest stellar nurseries in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars...

I discuss in this paper the more likely physical mechanisms that could provide the energy input for the supersonic motions observed in giant extragalactic HII...

A two-dimensional velocity map in H-alpha of the inner 4 arc min zone of the Scd starburst galaxy NGC 6946 has been obtained using the TAURUS interferometric...

Evolutionary tracks are of key importance for the understanding of star formation. Unfortunately, tracks published by various groups differ so that it is...

Recent evidence based independently on spectral line strengths and dynamical modelling point towards a non-universal stellar initial mass function (IMF)...

Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of...

We study the global efficiency of star formation in high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of gas discs embedded in isolated early-type and spiral galaxies...

We present a new derivation of the star formation history (SFH) of the dSph galaxy Fornax in two central regions, characterized by unprecedented precision and...
