We present a catalog of stellar parameters (effective temperature $T_{\rm eff}$, surface gravity $\log g$, age, and metallicity [Fe/H]) and elemental-abundance ratios ([C/Fe], [Mg/Fe], and [$\alpha$/Fe]) for some five million stars (4.5…

The (rest-frame) near-IR domain contains important stellar population diagnostics and is often used to estimate masses of galaxies at low as well as high redshifts. However, many stellar population models are still relatively poorly…

We have observed 150 regions of massive star formation, selected originally by the presence of a water maser, in the J = 5-4, 3-2, and 2-1 transitions of CS, and 49 regions in the same transitions of C$^{34}$S. Over 90% of the 150 regions…

Over the past decades, several studies have discovered a population of galaxies undergoing very strong star formation events, called extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs). In this work, we exploit the capabilities of the Javalambre…

We utilize deep JWST NIRCam observations for the first direct constraints on the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function (GSMF) at $z>10$. Our EPOCHS v1 sample includes 1120 galaxy candidates at $6.5<z<13.5$ taken from a consistent reduction and…

Detailed analyses of high-redshift galaxies are challenging due to their faintness, but this difficulty can be overcome with gravitational lensing, in which the magnification of the flux enables high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N)…

Stellar population synthesis (SPS) provides the link between the stellar and dust content of galaxies and their observed spectral energy distributions. In the present work we perform a comprehensive calibration of our own flexible SPS…

Observations of the high-$z$ Universe from JWST have revealed a new population of bright, early galaxies. A robust statistical interpretation of this data requires fast forward models that account for uncertainties in galaxy evolution and…

Ground-based, high-resolution bolometric (sub)millimeter continuum mapping observations on spatially extended target sources are often subject to significant missing fluxes. This hampers accurate quantitative analyses. Missing flux can be…
