    The centres of M83 and the Milky Way: opposite extremes of a common star formation cycle
    In the centres of the Milky Way and M83, the global environmental properties thought to control star formation are very similar. However, M83's nuclear star...

    The Circumnuclear Starburst in M83
    We present results from near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of the circumnuclear starburst in M83, using the CIRPASS instrument on Gemini South. The...

    The Complex Star Formation History of the Halo of NGC 5128 (Cen A)
    NGC 5128 (Cen A) is the nearest giant elliptical galaxy and one of the brightest extragalactic radio sources in the sky, boasting a prominent dust lane and jets...

    The dark side of galaxy stellar populations - II. The dependence of star-formation histories on halo mass and on the scatter of the main sequence
    Nearby galaxies are the end result of their cosmological evolution, which is predicted to be influenced by the growth of their host dark matter haloes. This co...

    The Deep SPIRE HerMES Survey: spectral energy distributions and their astrophysical indications at high redshift
    The Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver on-board Herschel has been carrying out deep extragalactic surveys, one of the aims of which is to establish...

    The distribution of gas and star formation in M81
    In this talk I will present the first complete 12CO J=3-2 map of M81, observed as part of the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey. We have detected nine regions of...

    The Distribution of Star Formation in the Central Regions of Spiral Galaxies
    Nuclear rings are characterized by their high star formation rates, and are believed to be the products of gas inflow towards the inner regions of spiral...

    The early nucleosynthesis of O and Fe
    The new observational O/Fe vs Fe/H relationship in halo dwarfs is analyzed in terms of a model of chemical evolution for the solar neighborhood. The role of...
