    Old stellar Galactic disc in near-plane regions according to 2MASS: Scales, cut-off, flare and warp
    We have pursued two different methods to analyze the old stellar population near the Galactic plane, using data from the 2MASS survey. The first method is based...

    On emission-line spectra obtained from evolutionary synthesis models. I. Dispersion in the ionising flux and Lowest Luminosity Limits
    Stellar clusters with the same general physical properties (e.g., total mass, age, and star-formation mode) may have very different stellar mass spectra due to...

    On emission-line spectra obtained from evolutionary synthesis models. II. Scale-relations and the estimation of mass dependences
    Aims: In this paper we study the influence of the ionizing cluster mass on the emission line spectrum of H ii regions in order to determine the influence of low...

    On faint companions in the close environment of star-forming dwarf galaxies. Possible external star formation triggers?
    We have searched for companion galaxies in the close environment of 98 star-forming dwarf galaxies (SFDGs) from field and low density environments, using the...

    On surface brightness fluctuations: probabilistic and statistical bases. I. Stellar population and theoretical surface brightness fluctuations
    Aims: This work aims to provide a theoretical formulation of surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) in the framework of probabilistic population synthesis models...

    On the age of stars harboring transiting planets
    Results of photometric surveys have brought to light the existence of a population of giant planets orbiting their host stars even closer than the hot Jupiters...

    On the buildup of massive early-type galaxies at z ⪉ 1. I. Reconciling their hierarchical assembly with mass downsizing
    Context. Several studies have tried to ascertain whether the increase in abundance of the early-type galaxies (E-S0a's) with time is mainly due to major mergers...

    On the constraining observations of the dark GRB 001109 and the properties of a z = 0.398 radio selected starburst galaxy contained in its error box
    We present optical and NIR (near infrared) follow up observations of the GRB 001109 from 1 to 300 days after the burst. No transient emission was found at these...

    On the distance, reddening and progenitor of V838 Mon
    Extensive optical and infrared photometry as well as low and high resolution spectroscopy are used as inputs in deriving robust estimates of the reddening...
