    The deep OB star population in Carina from the VST Photometric Hα Survey (VPHAS+)
    Massive OB stars are critical to the ecology of galaxies and yet our knowledge of OB stars in the Milky Way, fainter than V ˜ 12, remains patchy. Data from the...

    The Density, Extinction, and Excitation Characteristics of NGC 6445
    We have acquired [O III] lambda5007, H I lambdalambda6563 and 4861, and [S II] lambdalambda6717 and 6731 imaging of the bipolar outflow source NGC 6445. As a...

    The diffuse interstellar band around 8620 Å. II. Kinematics and distance of the DIB carrier
    Context. Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are important interstellar absorption features of which the origin is still debated. With the large data sets from...

    The Double Dust Envelopes of R Coronae Borealis Stars
    The study of extended, cold dust envelopes surrounding R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars began with their discovery by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite. RCB...

    The dust morphology of the elliptical Galaxy M 86 with SPIRE
    We present Herschel-SPIRE observations at 250-500 μm of the giant elliptical galaxy M 86 and examine the distribution of the resolved cold dust emission and its...

    The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey (EDIBLES) . I. Project description, survey sample, and quality assessment
    The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of...

    The Extinction Law in High-Redshift Galaxies
    We estimate the dust extinction laws in two intermediate-redshift galaxies. The dust in the lens galaxy of LBQS 1009-0252, which has an estimated lens redshift...

    The First Billion Years project: constraining the dust attenuation law of star-forming galaxies at z ≃ 5
    We present the results of a study investigating the dust attenuation law at z ≃ 5, based on synthetic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) calculated for a...

    The First Precise Determination of an Optical-Far-Ultraviolet Extinction Curve Beyond the Local Group (z=0.83)
    We present the optical-far-ultraviolet extinction curve of the dust in the lens galaxy of the gravitational lens system SBS 0909+532 (z=0.83). Extending our...
