    Top-heavy integrated galactic stellar initial mass functions in starbursts
    Star formation rates (SFRs) larger than 1000 M&sun; yr-1 are observed in extreme starbursts. This leads to the formation of star clusters with masses >106 M&sun...

    Tracking the impact of environment on the galaxy stellar mass function up to z ~ 1 in the 10 k zCOSMOS sample
    We study the impact of the environment on the evolution of galaxies in the zCOSMOS 10 k sample in the redshift range 0.1 ≤ z ≤ 1.0 over an area of ~1.5 deg2...

    Understanding galaxy formation and evolution through an all-sky submillimetre spectroscopic survey
    We illustrate the extraordinary discovery potential for extragalactic astrophysics of a far-infrared/submillimetre (far-IR/submm) all-sky spectroscopic survey...

    Unravelling the mass spectrum of destroyed dwarf galaxies with the metallicity distribution function
    Accreted stellar populations are comprised of the remnants of destroyed galaxies, and often dominate the 'stellar haloes' of galaxies such as the Milky Way (MW)...

    What do Simulations Predict for the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function and its Evolution in Different Environments?
    We present a comparison between the observed galaxy stellar mass function and the one predicted from the De Lucia & Blaizot semi-analytic model applied to the...

    X-ray luminosity functions of different morphological and X-ray type AGN populations
    Luminosity functions are one of the most important observational clues when studying galaxy evolution over cosmic time. In this paper we present the X-ray...

    Young nearby open clusters and their luminosity functions
    Context. Open clusters are groups of coeval stars sharing properties such as distance and metallicity, and they are key to understanding stellar evolution. Aims...

    Young T-dwarf candidates in IC 348
    Context: The determination of the lower-end of the initial mass function (IMF) provides strong constraints on star formation theories. Aims: We report here on a...
