    The luminosity function of stars in the intermediate age open cluster NGC 7789
    We report the results of a CCD investigation of stars in a selected region near the center of the intermediate age galactic cluster NGC 7789. A CM diagram is...

    The luminosity of cluster galaxies in the Cluster-EAGLE simulations
    We computed the luminosity of simulated galaxies of the C-EAGLE project, a suite of 30 high-resolution zoom-in simulations of galaxy clusters based on the EAGLE...
  • Publication
    The magnitude difference between the main sequence turn off and the red giant branch bump in Galactic globular clusters
    We present new measurements of the magnitude of the main sequence turn off and the red giant branch bump in the luminosity function of a sample of Galactic...

    The mass function of IC 4665 revisited by the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey
    Context. Knowledge of the mass function in open clusters constitutes one way to constrain the formation of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs as does the knowledge...

    The maximum stellar mass, star-cluster formation and composite stellar populations
    We demonstrate that the mass of the most massive star in a cluster correlates non-trivially with the cluster mass. A simple algorithm, according to which a...

    The mmax-Mecl relation, the IMF and IGIMF: probabilistically sampled functions
    We introduce a new method to measure the dispersion of mmax values of star clusters and show that the observed sample of mmax is inconsistent with random...
  • Publication
    The optical + infrared L dwarf spectral sequence of young planetary-mass objects in the Upper Scorpius association
    We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic follow-ups of the lowest mass member candidates in the nearest OB association, Upper Scorpius (∼5-10 Myr...

    The OTELO survey. A case study of [O III] λ4959,5007 emitters at ⟨z⟩ = 0.83
    Context. The OSIRIS Tunable Filter Emission Line Object (OTELO) survey is a very deep, blind exploration of a selected region of the Extended Groth Strip and is...

    The OTELO survey. Faint end of the luminosity function of [O II]3727 emitters at ⟨z⟩ = 1.43
    Aims: In this paper, we aim to study the main properties and luminosity function (LF) of the [O II]3727 emitters detected in the OTELO survey in order to...
