Post-AGB stars are the final stage of evolution of low-intermediate mass stars (M<8 Solar Masses). Those in binary systems have stable circumbinary discs. Using data from Herschel (PACS/SPIRE), we extend the SEDs of 50 galactic post-AGB…

Fitting the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies is an almost universally used technique that has matured significantly in the last decade. Model predictions and fitting procedures have improved significantly over this time,…
The spectral shape of IR emission from Herbig Ae/Be stars has been invoked as evidence for accretion disks around high-mass protostars. Instead, we present here models based on spherical envelopes with $r^{-1.5}$ dust density profile that…

Herbig Ae/Be objects are pre-main sequence stars surrounded by gas- and dust-rich circumstellar discs. These objects are in the throes of star and planet formation, and their characterisation informs us of the processes and outcomes of…
In this work, we present an extension of the genetic algorithm (GA) which exploits the supervised learning technique called active subspaces (AS) to evolve the individuals on a lower dimensional space. In many cases, GA requires in fact…

We have computed a series of realistic and self-consistent models that have been shown to be able to reproduce the emitted spectra of HII galaxies in a star bursting scenario (Martin-Majon et al. 2008). Our models combine different codes of…
Accurately measuring stellar parameters is a key goal to increase our understanding of the observable universe. However, current methods are limited by many factors, in particular, the biases and physical assumptions that are the basis for…
The Herschel GASPS Key Program is a survey of the gas phase of protoplanetary discs, targeting 240 objects which cover a large range of ages, spectral types, and disc properties. To interpret this large quantity of data and initiate…
We present Halpha spectropolarimetry observations of a sample of 10 bright T Tauri stars, supplemented with new Herbig Ae/Be star data. A change in the linear polarisation across Halpha is detected in most of the T Tauri (9/10) and Herbig…
Stellar population synthesis (SPS) models have long struggled to reproduce observed optical through near-IR (NIR) spectral energy distributions (SED) of massive quiescent galaxies. We revisit this issue using a novel approach that combines…

UV-FIR SED modeling is an effective way to disentangle emission between star formation (SF) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) in galaxies; however, this approach becomes uncertain for composite AGN/SF galaxies that comprise 50-70% of…
