We derive for the first time the dust mass function (DMF) in a wide redshift range, from z~0.2 up to z~2.5. In order to trace the dust emission, we start from a far-IR (160-um) Herschel selected catalogue in the COSMOS field. We estimate…

We present deep photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in a field in Baade's Window in the Galactic bulge. We derive a luminosity function down to I ~ 24.3, or V ~ 27.5, corresponding to M ~ 0.3 Msun. The luminosity…

We present the results of the HIGHz Arecibo survey, which measured the HI content of 39 galaxies at redshift $z>0.16$ selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These are all actively star-forming, disk-dominated systems in relatively…

We discuss masses of stellar black holes found in binary systems and errors in their determination. The observed mass distribution has a broad shape within the range $4-16 M_\odot$ without visible concentration to some preferred value. On…

The claimed detection of large amounts of substructure in lensing flux anomalies, and in Milky Way stellar stream gaps statistics, has lead to a step change in constraints on simple warm dark matter models. In this study we compute…

We present an estimate of the galaxy stellar mass function and its division by morphological type in the local (0.025 < z < 0.06) Universe. Adopting robust morphological classifications as previously presented (Kelvin et al.) for a sample…

Aims. We wish to determine the distribution of dark matter halo masses as a function of the stellar mass and the stellar mass profile, for massive galaxies in the BOSS CMASS sample. Methods. We use grizy photometry from HSC to obtain…

We present Arecibo neutral hydrogen data on a sample of optically selected dwarf galaxies. The sample ranges in HI mass from 10^6 M_sun to 5x10^9 M_sun, with a mean of 7.9x10^8 M_sun. Using estimated HI radii, the HI surface densities range…

The ongoing Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey is a wide-area, extragalactic HI-line survey conducted at the Arecibo Observatory. Sources have so far been extracted over ~3,000 sq.deg of sky (40% of its final area), resulting in the…

From R-band images of 39 Hickson compact groups (HCGs), we use galaxy counts to determine a luminosity function extending to M_R=-14.0, approximately two magnitudes deeper than previous compact group luminosity functions. We find that a…

We analyze a sample of 3300 galaxies between redshifts z~3.5 and z~8.5 selected from JWST images in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) and UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey field, including objects with stellar masses as low as ~ 10^8 Msun up to…

We present a multi-wavelength study (BVRI band photometry and HI line interferometry) of nine late-type galaxies selected from the HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog on the basis of apparently high HI mass-to-light ratios (3 M_sun/L_sun <…

We present the final data release from the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (GASS), a large Arecibo program that measured the HI properties for an unbiased sample of ~800 galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10^10 Msun and redshifts…

This is the second paper of two reporting results from a study of the HI content and stellar properties of nearby galaxies detected by the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA blind 21-cm line survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in a 2160 deg^2…

The neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) mass function (HIMF) describes the distribution of the HI content of galaxies at any epoch; its evolution provides an important probe of models of galaxy formation and evolution. Here, we report Giant…

We use a sample of 8298 galaxies observed in the HST GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS) to construct the galaxy stellar mass function as a function of both redshift and stellar mass up to z=3.5 and down to masses of Mstar=10^8.5 Msun at z~1. We…

Deep fields are unique probes of the Galactic halo. With a limiting magnitude of, e.g., I = 30 mag, all stars down to the hydrogen-burning limit are detected out to distances of 10 kpc, while stars with 0.5 solar masses could be traced out…
