    The Gaia-ESO Survey: the most metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge
    We present the first results of the EMBLA survey (Extremely Metal-poor BuLge stars with AAOmega), aimed at finding metal-poor stars in the Milky Way bulge...

    The Galactic initial mass function: origin in the combined mass distribution functions of dust grains and gas clouds
    We present here a theoretical model to account for the stellar initial mass function (IMF) as a result of the composite behaviour of the gas and dust...

    The Galactic radial abundance gradients of C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar from deep spectra of H II regions
    We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in the Milky Way using deep spectra of 33 H II regions gathered from...

    The GALAH survey: tracing the Milky Way's formation and evolution through RR Lyrae stars
    Stellar mergers and accretion events have been crucial in shaping the evolution of the Milky Way (MW). These events have been dynamically identified and...

    The galaxy size to halo spin relation of disc galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
    In the standard disc galaxy formation model, the sizes of galactic discs are tightly related to the spin parameters λ of their dark matter haloes. The model has...

    The galaxy-wide initial mass function of dwarf late-type to massive early-type galaxies
    Observational studies are showing that the galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function (IMF) is top-heavy in galaxies with high star formation rates (SFRs)...

    The giant nebulae associated with 3C 227: emission-line profiles and kinematic modelling
    Detailed line profiles from the nebular gas surrounding the radio galaxy 3C 227 are presented. High-resolution spectroscopy around [O iii] 4959- and 5007-A...

    The globular cluster kinematics and galaxy dark matter content of NGC 3923
    This paper presents further results from our spectroscopic study of the globular cluster (GC) system of the group elliptical NGC 3923. From observations made...

    The globular cluster kinematics and galaxy dark matter content of NGC 4649 (M60)
    From observations with the GMOS multislit spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, we have obtained spectra for 39 globular cluster (GC) candidates in the...
