Confidence levels of evolutionary synthesis models
The stochastic nature of the IMF in young stellar clusters implies that clusters of the same mass and age do not present the same unique values of their...
Confidence levels of evolutionary synthesis models. II. On sampling and Poissonian fluctuations
In terms of statistical fluctuations, stellar population synthesis models are only asymptotically correct in the limit of a large number of stars, where...
Confidence Limits of Evolutionary Synthesis Models
The probabilistic nature of the IMF in stellar systems implies that clusters of the same mass and age do not present the same unique values of their observed...
Confidence limits of evolutionary synthesis models. III. On time-integrated quantities
Evolutionary synthesis models are a fundamental tool to interpret the properties of observed stellar systems. In order to achieve a meaningful comparison...
Confidence Limits of SN, Kinetic Energy and Chemical Yields in Evolutionary Synthesis Models
When evolutionary synthesis models take into account the stochastic nature of the IMF together with the discrete number of stars in real stellar clusters...
Confirmation of a Kinematic Diagnostic for Face-On Box/Peanut-shaped Bulges
We present the results of high-resolution absorption-line spectroscopy of three face-on galaxies, NGC 98, NGC 600, and NGC 1703, with the aim of searching for...
Confirming Herschel Candidate Protoclusters from ALMA/VLA CO Observations
ALMA 870 μm continuum imaging has uncovered a population of blends of multiple dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) in sources originally detected with the...
Confronting fuzzy dark matter with the rotation curves of nearby dwarf irregular galaxies
Aims: In this paper, we carry out a phenomenological investigation of the viability of fuzzy dark matter, which is composed of coherent waves of non-interacting...
