Stellar Population Synthesis of Star-forming Clumps in Galaxy Pairs and Non-interacting Spiral Galaxies
We have identified 1027 star-forming complexes in a sample of 46 galaxies from the Spirals, Bridges, and Tails (SB&T) sample of interacting galaxies, and 693...
Stellar Populations and the Local Group Membership of the Dwarf Galaxy DDO 210
We present deep BVI CCD photometry of the stars in the dwarf galaxy DDO 210. The color-magnitude diagrams of DDO 210 show a well-defined red giant branch (RGB)...
Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to z ~ 1. I. MUFFIT: A multi-filter fitting code for stellar population diagnostics
Aims: We present MUFFIT, a new generic code optimized to retrieve the main stellar population parameters of galaxies in photometric multi-filter surveys, and...
Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to z ̃ 1. II. Stellar content of quiescent galaxies within the dust-corrected stellar mass-colour and the UVJ colour-colour diagrams
Aims: Our aim is to determine the distribution of stellar population parameters (extinction, age, metallicity, and star formation rates) of quiescent galaxies...
Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to z ̃ 1. III. The stellar content of the quiescent galaxy population during the last 8 Gyr
Aims: We aim at constraining the stellar population properties of quiescent galaxies. These properties reveal how these galaxies evolved and assembled since z ̃...
Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to z ̃ 1. IV. Properties of quiescent galaxies on the stellar mass-size plane
Aims: We perform a comprehensive study of the stellar population properties (formation epoch, age, metallicity, and extinction) of quiescent galaxies as a...
Stellar structure and exoplanet studies in the Kepler and SONG era
NASA's Kepler Satellite was successfully launched into space on 6 March 2009. The goal of this mission is ambitious and exciting. Using Kepler we expect to...
Strategies for Imaging Faint Extended Sources in the Near-Infrared
Quantitative information about variations in the background at J and K' are presented and used to develop guidelines for the acquisition and reduction of ground...
