The initial mass function describes the distribution of masses for a population of stars and substellar objects when they are born. It defines the evolution of...
Physical conditions of starburst galaxies from LMT 3-mm spectra
I will present the first Large Millimiter Telescope spectra of 4 nearby galaxies with known high star formation rates. The individual spectra were acquired with...

Planet formation signatures in transitional disks: the ALMA and SPHERE view
With more than 3000 detected exoplanets it is now clear that planet formation is a natural outcome of stellar formation. However, the mechanisms by which...
