    The impact of strong recombination on temperature determination in planetary nebulae
    The long-standing difference in chemical abundances determined from optical recombination lines and collisionally excited lines raises questions about our...

    The impact of two massive early accretion events in a Milky Way-like galaxy: repercussions for the buildup of the stellar disc and halo
    We identify and characterize a Milky Way-like realization from the Auriga simulations with two consecutive massive mergers $\sim 2$ Gyr apart at high redshift...

    The importance of galaxy interactions in triggering type II quasar activity
    We present deep Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph-South optical broad-band images for a complete sample of 20 Sloan Digital Sky Survey selected type II quasars...

    The importance of the local density in shaping the galaxy stellar mass functions
    Exploiting the capabilities of four different surveys - the Padova-Millennium Galaxy and Group Catalogue (PM2GC), the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey...

    The importance of warm, AGN-driven outflows in the nuclear regions of nearby ULIRGs
    We present an optical spectroscopic study of a 90 per cent complete sample of nearby ULIRGs (z 0.175) with optical Seyfert nuclei, with the aim of...

    The imprints of bars on the vertical stellar population gradients of galactic bulges
    This is the second paper of a series aimed to study the stellar kinematics and population properties of bulges in highly inclined barred galaxies. In this work...

    The incidence of bar-like kinematic flows in CALIFA galaxies
    We carry out a direct search for bar-like non-circular flows in intermediate-inclination, gas-rich disc galaxies with a range of morphological types and...

    The influence of galaxy environment on the stellar initial mass function of early-type galaxies
    In this paper, we investigate whether the stellar initial mass function (IMF) of early-type galaxies depends on their host environment. To this purpose, we have...

    The influence of multiple stars on the high-mass stellar initial mass function and age dating of young massive star clusters
    The study of young stellar populations has revealed that most stars are in binary or higher order multiple systems. In this study, the influence on the stellar...
