In order to build more realistic single stellar population (SSP) models with variable α-enhancement, we have recently determined [Mg/Fe] in a uniform scale with...

Astronomers nowadays have a wealth of sophisticated publishing software at their fingertips, but are they achieving acceptable standards of presentation?

We present the science case for mapping several thousand galaxy (proto)clusters at z=1-10 with a large aperture single dish sub-mm facility, producing a high...

Stellar activity poses one of the main obstacles for the detection and characterisation of exoplanets around cool stars, as it can induce radial velocity (RV)...

A key outstanding question in our understanding of star formation is whether magnetic fields provide support against the gravitational collapse of their parent...
