    The Fe/Ni ratio in ionized nebulae: clues on dust depletion patterns
    We perform a homogeneous analysis of the Fe/Ni abundance ratio in eight Galactic planetary nebulae and three Galactic H II regions that include the Orion nebula...

    The fight for accretion: discovery of intermittent mass transfer in BB Doradus in the low state
    Our long-term photometric monitoring of southern nova-like cataclysmic variables with the 1.3-m Small and Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS)...

    The filling factor of intergalactic metals at redshift z= 3
    Observations of quasar absorption-line systems reveal that the z= 3 intergalactic medium (IGM) is polluted by heavy elements down to H I optical depths τH I≪ 10...

    The First Billion Years project: birthplaces of direct collapse black holes
    We investigate the environment in which direct-collapse black holes may form by analysing a cosmological, hydrodynamical simulation that is part of the First...

    The First Billion Years project: constraining the dust attenuation law of star-forming galaxies at z ≃ 5
    We present the results of a study investigating the dust attenuation law at z ≃ 5, based on synthetic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) calculated for a...

    The First Billion Years project: dark matter haloes going from contraction to expansion and back again
    We study the effect of baryons on the inner dark matter profile of the first galaxies using the First Billion Years simulation between z = 16 and 6 before...

    The First Billion Years project: gamma-ray bursts at z > 5
    Long gamma-ray burst's (LGRB's) association with the death of massive stars suggests that they could be used to probe the cosmic star formation history (CSFH)...

    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 project: the impact of stellar radiation on the co-evolution of Populations II and III
    With the first metal enrichment by Population III (Pop III) supernovae (SNe), the formation of the first metal-enriched, Pop II stars becomes possible. In turn...
