Precise interstellar dust extinction laws are important to infer the intrinsic properties of reddened objects and correctly interpret observations. In this work, we attempt to measure the optical--infrared extinction laws of the Large and…

Context. Mass loss of ~0.1-0.3 M$_{\odot}$ from Population II red giant stars (RGB) is a requirement of stellar evolution theory in order to account for several observational evidences in globular clusters. Aims. The aim of this study is to…

Stellar energy loss is a sensitive probe of light, weakly coupled dark sectors, including ones containing millicharged particles (MCPs). The emission of MCPs can affect stellar evolution, and therefore can alter the observed properties of…

The mechanism and characteristics of the irregular variations of red supergiants (RSGs) are studied based on the RSG samples in Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and M31. With the time-series data from All-Sky…

We report a spectroscopic study on red supergiant stars (RSGs) in the irregular dwarf galaxy IC 1613 in the Local Group. We derive the effective temperatures ($T_\mathrm{eff}$) and metallicities of 14 RSGs by synthetic spectral fitting to…

The explodability of massive stars, namely whether they undergo core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) or form black holes (BHs), strongly influences galactic chemical evolution (GCE). Details of the explodability are still controversial, but…

The amount of mass lost by stars during the red-giant branch (RGB) phase is one of the main parameters to understand and correctly model the late stages of stellar evolution. Nevertheless, a fully-comprehensive knowledge of the RGB mass…

Red giant stars play a key role in advancing our understanding of stellar mass loss. However, its initial mass and the amount of mass lost during this phase remain uncertain. In this study, we investigate the asteroseismic signatures of…

We aim to investigate mass loss and luminosity in a large sample of evolved stars in several Local Group galaxies with a variety of metalliticies and star-formation histories: the Small and Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Fornax, Carina,…

Mass loss shapes the fate of massive stars; however, the physical mechanism causing it remains uncertain. We present a comprehensive analysis of seven red supergiants, for which we searched evidence of episodic mass loss, in three…

We study whether hierarchical galaxy formation in a concordance $\Lambda$CDM universe can produce enough massive and red galaxies compared to the observations. We implement a semi-analytical model in which the central black holes gain their…

There are a growing number of nearby SNe for which the progenitor star is detected in archival pre-explosion imaging. From these images it is possible to measure the progenitor's brightness a few years before explosion, and ultimately…

The accurate measurement of stellar masses over a wide range of galaxy properties is essential for better constraining models of galaxy evolution. Emission line galaxies (ELGs) tend to have better redshift estimates than continuum-selected…

Recent studies on direct imaging of Type II core-collapse supernova progenitors indicate a possible threshold around $M_{\rm ZAMS}\sim 16-20$ M$_\odot$, where red supergiants with larger birth masses do not appear to result in supernova…

We report on the detection of a small contribution (around and below 1% in mass) from young stellar components with ages $\leq$20 Myr in low-mass galaxies purposely selected from the MaNGA survey to be already-quenched systems. Among the…

This work presents an in-depth analysis of four gravitationally lensed red galaxies at z = 1.6-3.2. The sources are magnified by factors of 2.7-30 by foreground clusters, enabling spectral and morphological measurements that are otherwise…

We present stellar mass measurements for a sample of 36 Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs) at redshifts z = 0.4-1.2 in the Flanking Fields around the Hubble Deep Field North. The technique is based on fitting a two-component galaxy…

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…

Deriving the physical properties of red supergiants (RSGs) depends upon accurate corrections for reddening by dust. We use our recent modeling of the optical spectra of RSGs to address this topic. We find: (1) Previous broad-band studies…

The spectra of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digit Sky Survey (SDSS) are used to study the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) at $z\sim0.8$. The selected sample…
