From Deterministic to Probabilistic Population Synthesis (Why Synthesis Models are not what we thought they were, and how they can be much more than that)
For a number of reasons, the properties of integrated stellar populations are distributed. Traditional synthesis models usually return the mean value of such...
CODEX and ESPRESSO are concepts for ultra-stable, high-resolution spectrographs at the E-ELT and VLT, respectively. Both instruments are well motivated by...

From evolved stars to the formation and evolution of galaxies
Due to observational constraints, our detailed knowledge of stellar populations, formation, and evolution of galaxies is limited to a few dozen galaxies located...
Although it is clear that the circumnuclear regions of galaxies are intimately related to their host galaxies, most directly through their bars, it remains...
