    SSSPM J1102-3431: A probable new young brown dwarf member of the TW Hydrae Association
    We have used archival survey data, most importantly from the SuperCOSMOS Sky Surveys, to derive accurate proper motions and thus confirm the membership of two...

    SSSPM J1444-2019: An extremely high proper motion, ultracool subdwarf
    We present the discovery of a new extreme high proper motion object (˜3.5 arcsec/year) which we classify as an ultracool subdwarf with [M/H] ˜ -0.5. It has a...

    Star counts in the Galaxy. Simulating from very deep to very shallow photometric surveys with the TRILEGAL code
    We describe TRILEGAL, a new populations synthesis code for simulating the stellar photometry of any Galaxy field. The code attempts to improve upon several...

    Strategies for flux calibration in massive spectroscopic surveys
    Optical large-scale medium-resolution spectroscopic surveys such as SDSS, LAMOST, DESI, WEAVE or 4MOST are subject to constraints that limit the choice of flux...

    Strategies for optimal sky subtraction in the low surface brightness regime
    The low surface brightness (LSB) regime (μ g ≳ 26 mag arcsec -2) comprises a vast, mostly unexplored discovery space, from dwarf galaxies to the diffuse...

    Structural parameters of 389 local open clusters
    Context. The distribution of member stars in the surroundings of an open cluster (OC) can shed light on the process of its formation, evolution, and dissolution...

    Surface Inhomogeneities and Semiempirical Modeling of Metal-poor Stellar Photospheres - PhD Thesis
    The interpretation of detailed spectroscopic observations of late‐type stars reveals inconsistencies that are likely due to inadequacies of the underlying...
