Only less than 150 Wolf-Rayet galaxies are actually known. Many of them are dwarf or irregular galaxies, and some show close companion objects. Peculiar...
We present results of narrow-band and broad-band optical CCD imaging together with intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of the Wolf-Rayet galaxy Mkn 8. Analysis...
The Intergalactic Stellar Population from Mergers of Elliptical Galaxies with Dark Matter Halos
We present simulations of dry-merger encounters between pairs of elliptical galaxies with dark matter halos. The aim of these simulations is to study the...
The internal dynamical equilibrium of H II regions: A statistical study
We present an analysis of the integrated Hα emission line profiles for the H SHAPE Ii region population of the spiral galaxies NGC 1530, NGC 6951 and NGC 3359...
The interplay of internal and external processes in the buildup of disk galaxies: thick-disk star formation histories in AURIGA simulations
Recent integral-field spectroscopy observations have revealed that thick- and thin-disk star-formation histories are regulated by the interplay of internal and...
The Interstellar Medium in High-redshift Submillimeter Galaxies as Probed by Infrared Spectroscopy*
Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z≳ 1 are luminous in the far-infrared, and have star formation rates, SFR, of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year...
The interstellar medium of quiescent galaxies and its evolution with time
We characterise the basic far-IR properties and the gas mass fraction of massive (⟨log(M */M ⊙)⟩ ≈ 11.0) quiescent galaxies (QGs) and explore how these evolve...
The intracluster light as a tracer of the total matter density distribution: a view from simulations
By using deep observations of clusters of galaxies, it has been recently found that the projected stellar mass density closely follows the projected total (dark...
The intriguing H I gas in NGC 5253: an infall of a diffuse, low-metallicity H I cloud?
We present new, deep H I line and 20-cm radio-continuum data of the very puzzling blue compact dwarf galaxy NGC 5253, obtained with the Australia Telescope...
