We construct three extremely different scenarios of the star formation histories applicable to a sample of dwarf galaxies, based on either their present...
On the missing second generation AGB stars in NGC 6752
In recent years the view of Galactic globular clusters as simple stellar populations has changed dramatically, it is now thought that basically all globular...
The aim of our study is to use dynamical simulations to explore the influence of two important dynamical bar parameters, bar strength and bar pattern speed on...
Context: Local reductions of the stellar velocity dispersion in the central regions of galaxies are known as sigma-drops (σ-drops). Knowing the origin of these...
On the multiplicity of ALMA Compact Array counterparts of far-infrared bright quasars
We present ALMA Atacama Compact Array (ACA) 870 μm continuum maps of 28 infrared-bright SDSS quasars with Herschel/SPIRE detections at redshifts 2-4, the...
On the nature of Hα emitters at z ˜ 2 from the HiZELS survey: physical properties, Lyα escape fraction and main sequence
We present a detailed multiwavelength study (from rest-frame ultraviolet to far-infrared) of narrow-band selected, star-forming (SF) Hα emitters (HAEs) at z ˜ 2...
On the nature of the extragalactic number counts in the K-band
Context: The galaxy number counts has been traditionally used to test models of galaxy evolution. However, the origin of significant differences in the shape of...
On the nature of the red, 2MASS-selected AGN in the local Universe I: an optical spectroscopic study
We present optical spectra for a representative sample of 27 nearby (z 0.2) Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) with red...
On the observational diagnostics to separate classical and disk-like bulges
Flattened bulges with disk-like properties are considered to be the end product of secular evolution processes at work in the inner regions of galaxies. On the...
