Context. CarbON CII line in post-rEionisation and ReionisaTiOn epoch (CONCERTO) instrument is a low-resolution mapping spectrometer based on lumped element...
Condensation of dust around the Wolf-Rayet star WR 125
Infrared photometry of the WC7-type Wolf-Rayet star WR 125 (MR 93) in 1981-91 shows a 10-fold rise in the 3-4 micron flux during 1990-91. This, together with...
Conditions for Reionizing the Universe with a Low Galaxy Ionizing Photon Escape Fraction
We explore scenarios for reionizing the intergalactic medium with low galaxy ionizing photon escape fractions. We combine simulation-based halo mass–dependent...
Conducting the SONG: The Robotic Nature and Efficiency of a Fully Automated Telescope
We present a description of “the Conductor,” an automated software package that handles all observations at the first Stellar Observations Network Group (SONG)...
Confidence levels of evolutionary synthesis models
The stochastic nature of the IMF in young stellar clusters implies that clusters of the same mass and age do not present the same unique values of their...
Confidence levels of evolutionary synthesis models. II. On sampling and Poissonian fluctuations
In terms of statistical fluctuations, stellar population synthesis models are only asymptotically correct in the limit of a large number of stars, where...
Confidence Limits of Evolutionary Synthesis Models
The probabilistic nature of the IMF in stellar systems implies that clusters of the same mass and age do not present the same unique values of their observed...
Confidence limits of evolutionary synthesis models. III. On time-integrated quantities
Evolutionary synthesis models are a fundamental tool to interpret the properties of observed stellar systems. In order to achieve a meaningful comparison...
Confidence limits of evolutionary synthesis models. IV. Moving forward to a probabilistic formulation
Context: .Synthesis models predict the integrated properties of stellar populations. Several problems exist in this field, mostly related to the fact that...
