    Modelling the Mg[b] Spectroscopic Index with the Tunable Filters of OSIRIS
    We present our first attempt to model a new metallicity indicator for old and intermediate aged stellar populations on the basis of the Mg[b] absorption index...
  • Publication
    Models for the interpretation of CaT and the blue spectral indices in elliptical nuclei
    We present a grid of theoretical models where the calculation of absorption line spectral indices in both the blue and red wavelength ranges is done with the...

    Molecular gas and star formation within 12 strong galactic bars observed with IRAM-30 m
    Context. While some galactic bars show recent massive star formation (SF) along them, some others do not. Whether bars with low level of SF are a consequence of...
  • Publication
    Molecular gas in low-metallicity starburst galaxies:. Scaling relations and the CO-to-H2 conversion factor
    Context. Tracing the molecular gas-phase in low-mass star-forming galaxies becomes extremely challenging due to significant UV photo-dissociation of CO...

    Molecular gas in supernova local environments unveiled by EDGE
    CO observations allow estimation of the gas content of molecular clouds, which trace the reservoir of cold gas fuelling star formation, as well as determination...

    Molecular gas in the Herschel-selected strongly lensed submillimeter galaxies at z 2-4 as probed by multi-J CO lines
    We present the IRAM-30 m observations of multiple-J CO (Jup mostly from 3 up to 8) and [C I](3P2 → 3P1) ([C I](2-1) hereafter) line emission in a sample of...

    Molecular gas observations and enhanced massive star formation efficiencies in M 100.
    We present new J=1->0 ^12^CO observations along the northern spiral arm of the grand-design spiral galaxy M 100 (NGC 4321), and study the distribution of...

    Molecular gas stratification and disturbed kinematics in the Seyfert galaxy MCG-05-23-16 revealed by JWST and ALMA
    Understanding the processes that drive the morphology and kinematics of molecular gas in galaxies is crucial for comprehending star formation and, ultimately...

    Molecular hydrogen abundances of galaxies in the EAGLE simulations
    We investigate the abundance of galactic molecular hydrogen (H2) in the `Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments' (EAGLE) cosmological...
