Aims. We analyze a MUSE optical integral field spectrum of the star-forming edge-on galaxy IC 1553 in order to study its extraplanar diffuse ionized gas (eDIG) and the processes shaping its disk-halo interface. Methods. We extracted the…

We present results from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey on broad flux from the nebular emission lines H$\alpha$, [NII], [OIII], H$\beta$, and [SII]. The sample consists of 127 star-forming galaxies at $1.37 < z < 2.61$ and…

We present results on the emission-line properties of 1.3<=z<=2.7 galaxies drawn from the complete MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey. Specifically, we use observations of the emission-line diagnostic diagram of [OIII]5007/Hb vs.…

Fossil record methods based on spectral synthesis techniques have matured over the past decade, and their application to integrated galaxy spectra fostered substantial advances on the understanding of galaxies and their evolution. Yet,…

A sample of 69 galaxies with radial velocities less than 2500 km/s was selected from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) to deduce details about star formation in nearby disk galaxies selected with no bias to optical surface brightness…
