Resolution of nearby giant HII regions into their stellar and nebular constituents provides fundamental insights for interpreting more distant and powerful starburst activity. The following summarizes recent advances in our understanding of…
We present a new empirical framework modeling the metallicity and star-formation history (SFH) dependence of X-ray luminous ($L > 10^{36}$ ergs s$^{-1}$) point-source population luminosity functions (XLFs) in normal galaxies. We expect the…
Using EPS we present high resolution (0.3 \AA, HRes) ISEDs from 3000 to 7000 \AA and Lick/IDS absorption-line indices, for an extensive set of instantaneous burst binary stellar populations (BSPs) with binary interactions. The ages of the…
While there is now a consensus that X-ray binaries (XRBs) are the dominant X-ray sources in the early Universe and play a significant role during the epoch of heating of the intergalactic medium (IGM), recent studies report contradicting…
Evolutionary population synthesis models for a wide range of metallicities, ages, star formation histories, and Horizontal Branch morphologies, including blue morphologies at high metallicity, are computed. The energetics of the post Main…
The near-infrared spectral region is becoming a very useful wavelength range to detect and quantify the stellar population of galaxies. Models are developing to predict the contribution of TP-AGB stars, that should dominate the NIR spectra…
A new set of evolutionary synthesis spectra are presented for {\bf S}imple {\bf S}tellar {\bf P}opulations ({\bf SSP}s) covering ranges in metallicity from $ 0.02 \leq Z/Z_{\odot} \leq 2.5$ and ages from $4\cdot 10^6$ yr $\leq t \leq 16$…
We aim to investigate the connections existing between the density profiles of the stellar populations used to define a gravitationally bound stellar system and their star formation history: we do this by developing a general framework…
We present the first results of a project aimed at the combined study of massive stars and their surrounding nebulae by means of a detailed study of Galactic HII regions ionized by only one massive star. With this, we intend to check the…
The double-peaked emission-line galaxies has long been perceived as objects related with merging galaxies or other phenomena of disturbed dynamical activities, such as outflows and disk rotation. In order to find the connection between the…
The European Space Agency's Euclid mission will observe approximately 14,000 $\rm{deg}^{2}$ of the extragalactic sky and deliver high-quality imaging for many galaxies. The depth and high spatial resolution of the data will enable a…
We build, as far as theory will permit, self consistent model HII regions around central clusters of aging stars. These produce strong emission line diagnostics applicable to either individual HII regions in galaxies, or to the integrated…
We present a Bayesian hierarchical framework to analyze photometric galaxy survey data with stellar population synthesis (SPS) models. Our method couples robust modeling of spectral energy distributions with a population model and a noise…
The enhancement of $\alpha$ elements such as oxygen is an important phase in the chemical evolution of the early Universe, with nebular material becoming enriched in these elements sooner than iron. Here we present models which incorporate…
To study the stellar population of local infrared galaxies, which contain star-forming galaxies, composite galaxies, LINERs, and Seyfert 2s. We also want to find whether infrared luminosity and spectral class have any effects on their…
We investigate the properties of galaxies as they shut off star formation over the 4 billion years surrounding peak cosmic star formation. To do this we categorize $\sim7000$ galaxies from $1<z<4$ into $90$ groups based on the shape of…
Emission from X-ray binaries (XRBs) is a major component of the total X-ray luminosity of normal galaxies, so X-ray studies of high redshift galaxies allow us to probe the formation and evolution of X-ray binaries on very long timescales.…
Metal-poor, star-forming dwarf galaxies produce extreme nebular emission and likely played a major role in cosmic reionization. Yet, determining their contribution to the high-redshift ionizing photon budget is hampered by the lack of…
In this paper, the first of a series of two devoted to modelling the spectra of galaxies of different morphological type in presence of dust, we present our description of the dust both in the diffuse ISM and the molecular clouds. Our model…
We present the results of the stellar feedback from Pop III binaries by employing improved, more realistic Pop III evolutionary stellar models. To facilitate a meaningful comparison, we consider a fixed mass of 60 solar masses (Msun)…
