    The hypergiant HR 8752 evolving through the yellow evolutionary void
    Context. We study the time history of the yellow hypergiant HR 8752 based on high-resolution spectra (1973-2005), the observed MK spectral classification data...

    The hyperluminous infrared quasar 3C 318 and its implications for interpreting submm detections of high-redshift radio galaxies
    We present near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging of the compact steep-spectrum radio source 3C 318, which shows it to be a quasar at redshift z=1.574 (the z=0...

    The Hα environment of T Tauri resolved by speckle interferometry.
    T Tauri, the prototype of a class of low-mass pre-main sequence stars, was observed with the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaii telescope (CFHT) and the CP40 photon...
  • Publication
    The Hα galaxy survey. I. The galaxy sample, Hα narrow-band observations and star formation parameters for 334 galaxies
    We discuss the selection and observations of a large sample of nearby galaxies, which we are using to quantify the star formation activity in the local Universe...
  • Publication
    The Hα Galaxy Survey. II. Extinction and [NII] corrections to Hα fluxes
    We study the two main corrections generally applied to narrow-band Hα fluxes from galaxies in order to convert them to star formation rates, namely for [NII]...
  • Publication
    The Hα Galaxy survey. IV. Star formation in the local Universe
    Aims: We present an analysis of the star formation properties of field galaxies within the local volume out to a recession velocity limit of 3000 km s-1...
  • Publication
    The Hα galaxy survey. VII. The spatial distribution of star formation within disks and bulges
    Aims: We analyse the current build-up of stellar mass within the disks and bulges of nearby galaxies through a comparison of the spatial distributions of...
  • Publication
    The Hα Galaxy Survey. VIII. Close Companions and Interactions, and the Definition of Starbursts
    We consider the massive star formation properties, radial profiles, and atomic gas masses of those galaxies in our Hα Galaxy Survey that have close companion...
  • Publication
    The IAC Stripe 82 Legacy Project: a wide-area survey for faint surface brightness astronomy
    We present new deep co-adds of data taken within Stripe 82 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), especially stacked to reach the faintest surface brightness...
