    Winds of Low-metallicity OB-type Stars: HST-COS Spectroscopy in IC 1613
    We present the first quantitative ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis of resolved OB stars in IC 1613. Because of its alleged very low metallicity (lsim1/10 Z ☉...

    Young LMC clusters: the role of red supergiants and multiple stellar populations in their integrated light and CMDs
    The optical integrated spectra of three Large Magellanic Cloud young stellar clusters (NGC 1984, NGC 1994 and NGC 2011) exhibit concave continua and prominent...

    Young α-enriched giant stars in the solar neighbourhood
    We derive age constraints for 1639 red giants in the APOKASC sample for which seismic parameters from Kepler, as well as effective temperatures, metallicities...
