    The Estimation of the Noise in Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Experiments
    Even the most sensitive cosmic microwave background anisotropy experiments have signal-to-noise ratios

    The evolution of the binary population in globular clusters: a full analytical computation
    I present a simplified analytical model that simulates the evolution of the binary population in a dynamically evolving globular cluster. A number of...

    The First Billion Years project: proto-galaxies reionizing the Universe
    The contribution of stars in galaxies to cosmic reionization depends on the star formation history in the Universe, the abundance of galaxies during...

    The First Billion Years project: the escape fraction of ionizing photons in the epoch of reionization
    Protogalaxies forming in low-mass dark matter haloes are thought to provide the majority of ionizing photons needed to reionize the Universe, due to their high...

    The First Billion Years simulation project. Galactic outflows and metal enrichment
    The First Billion Years is one of the largest and most comprehensive cosmological, hydrodynamical simulation of the early Universe to date. It studies the...

    The Fornax 3D project: PNe populations and stellar metallicity in edge-on galaxies
    Context. Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) are useful distance indicators and are often used to trace the dark-matter content in external galaxies. At the...

    The Fornax Deep Survey with the VST. VII. Evolution and structure of late type galaxies inside the virial radius of the Fornax cluster
    Context. We present the study of a magnitude limited sample (mB ≤ 16.6 mag) of 13 late type galaxies (LTGs), observed inside the virial radius, Rvir ˜ 0.7 Mpc...

    The fraction of binary systems in the core of five Galactic open clusters
    We used deep wide-field photometric observations to derive the fraction of binary systems in a sample of five high-latitude Galactic open clusters. By analysing...
