Star formation rates in luminous quasars at 2 < z < 3
We investigate the relation between star formation rates (dot{{M}}_s) and AGN properties in optically selected type 1 quasars at 2 z 3 using data from...
Star formation rates, efficiencies and initial mass functions in spiral galaxies
Using broad band photometry, a new method is derived to evaluate relative (arm with respect to the interarm disk) star formation rates and relative star...
Numerical simulations predict that metal-poor gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels the formation of disk galaxies. This paper discusses how cosmic gas...
Star-forming galaxies at low-redshift in the SHARDS survey
Context. The physical processes driving the evolution of star formation (SF) in galaxies over cosmic time still present many open questions. Recent galaxy...
The age of the starbursts of a few H2 galaxies is derived from optical photometry and compared with previous results from radio continuum spectra. H2 galaxies...
Starburst galaxies in the COSMOS field: clumpy star-formation at redshift 0 < z < 0.5
Context. At high redshift, starburst galaxies present irregular morphologies with 10-20% of their star formation occurring in giant clumps. These clumpy...
Starbursts Are Preferentially Interacting: Confirmation from the Nearest Galaxies
We complement a recent Letter by Luo et al. by comparing the fraction of starburst galaxies that are interacting with the overall fraction of interacting...
Stars rich in phosphorus: seeds of life in the universe
The journal Nature Communications today is publishing the discovery of a new type of stars, very rich in phosphorus, which could help to explain the origin of...
