    On the massive star-forming capacity of molecular clouds
    Assuming that photoionization is the self-limiting process for continued star formation, we estimate the maximum number of massive (OB) stars that can form...

    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...

    Ongoing star formation at the outskirts of Sextans A: spectroscopic detection of early O-type stars
    With both nebular- and stellar-derived abundances of ≲1/10 Z_{⊙ } and low foreground extinction, Sextans A is a prime candidate to replace the Small Magellanic...

    Optical and infrared observations of the H II region S201
    Optical spectroscopy, H-alpha interferometry, and near-IR mapping and photometry of the bipolar H II region S201 are reported. The observations are used to...

    Optical and infrared studies of Galactic open clusters
    In the first (optical) part, we present our recent results on mass and luminosity function of Galactic open clusters, a new statistical study based on the ASCC...

    Optical spectroscopy and near-infrared mapping of S 106
    The bipolar outflow region S 106 is studied with optical spectroscopy and IR mapping techniques. The physical conditions in the ionized region, the density...

    Optically Faint Massive Balmer Break Galaxies at z > 3 in the CANDELS/GOODS Fields
    We present a sample of 33 Balmer break galaxies (BBGs) selected as Hubble Space Telescope/F160W dropouts in the deepest CANDELS/GOODS fields (H ≳ 27.3 mag) but...

    Part 1: A supernova search in starburst galaxies & Part 2: Starbursts and EMIR project
    With the aim of testing the relation between supernova (SN) rate and star formation rate, we conducted a SN search in a sample of local starburst galaxies (SBs)...
