We use deep GALEX images of CDFS in UV to define the first large sample of 420 Lyman Break Galaxies at z~1. We use a PSF fitting to estimate UV magnitudes on these deep crowded images. Deep Spitzer IRAC and MIPS provide the first detection…

We have obtained 11.7 and 17.9 micron images at the Keck I telescope of the circumstellar dust emission from L2 Pup, one of the nearest (D = 61 pc) mass-losing, pulsating, red giants that has a substantial infrared excess. We propose that…

We present highlights and an overview of 20 FUSE and HST/STIS observations of the bright symbiotic binary EG And. The main motivation behind this work is to obtain spatially-resolved information on an evolved giant star in order to…

We present HST STIS observations of four quasar pairs with redshifts 0.84<z_em<1.56 and angular separation 2-3 arcmin corresponding to ~ 1-1.5 h^-1_50 Mpc transverse proper distance at z ~ 0.9. We study the distribution of velocity…

We model the requirements on observational data that would allow an accurate determination of the degree of association between Lyman alpha absorbers and peaks in the redshift distribution of galaxies (large-scale structures like clusters…

We have measured the profiles of the Ca II H and K chromospheric emission lines in 147 main sequence stars of spectral type M5-K7 (0.30-0.55 solar masses) using multiple high resolution spectra obtained during six years with the HIRES…

Emission signatures from galactic winds provide an opportunity to directly map the outflowing gas, but this is traditionally challenging because of the low surface brightness. Using deep observations (27 hours) of the Hubble Deep Field…

We present results from a blind, spectroscopic survey for redshift ~5.7 Lyman-alpha-emitting galaxies using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph. A total of ~200 square arcminutes were observed in the COSMOS and LCIRS fields…

We perform Lyman-alpha radiative transfer calculations for reproducing Lyman-alpha properties of star-forming galaxies at high redshifts. We model a galaxy as a halo in which the density distributions of Lyman-alpha sources and H I plus…

The rate at which mass is lost during the Red Supergiant evolutionary stage may strongly influence how the star appears. Though there have been many studies discussing how RSGs appear in the mid and far infrared (IR) as a function of their…

The presence of broad wings in the H$\alpha$ line is commonly used as a diagnostic of the presence and properties of galactic winds from star-forming galaxies. However, the accuracy of this approach has not been subjected to extensive…

The winds of low-mass stars carry away angular momentum and impact the atmospheres of surrounding planets. Determining the properties of these winds is necessary to understand the mass-loss history of the star and the evolution of…

We report HI 21-cm line observations of the AGB star X Her obtained with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the Very Large Array (VLA). We have detected HI emission totaling M_HI=2.1e-03 M_sun associated with the circumstellar envelope of…

Red supergiants (RSGs) are an evolved stage in the life of intermediate massive stars (than than 25 solar masses). For many years, their location in the H-R diagram was at variance with the evolutionary models. Using the MARCS stellar…

We present the results of a survey for OH maser emission at 1612 MHz from dust-enshrouded AGB stars and supergiants in the LMC and SMC, with the Parkes radio telescope, aimed at deriving the speed of the superwind from the double-peaked OH…

We describe narrowband and spectroscopic searches for emission-line star forming galaxies in the redshift range 3 to 6 with the 10 m Keck II Telescope. These searches yield a substantial population of objects with only a single strong…

Multi-object spectroscopic observations of blue supergiants in NGC 3621, a spiral galaxy at a distance of 6.7 Mpc, carried out with the ESO VLT and FORS are presented. We demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative stellar spectroscopy at…

FUSE spectra of star-forming regions in nearby galaxies are compared to composite spectra of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), binned by strength of Lyman alpha emission and by mid-UV luminosity. Several far-UV spectral features, including lines…

T Tauri stars produce broad Lyman-alpha emission lines that contribute $\sim$88% of the total UV flux incident on the inner circumstellar disks. Lyman-alpha photons are generated at the accretion shocks and in the protostellar chromospheres…

We have undertaken quantitative analysis of four LMC and SMC O4--9.7 extreme supergiants using far-ultraviolet FUSE, ultraviolet IUE/HSTand optical VLT UVES spectroscopy. Extended, non-LTE model atmospheres that allow for the consistent…
