    Stellar masses of star-forming galaxies at 0.3 < z < 1.2 in the GOYA survey
    Starforming galaxies with compact morphology and high optical luminosity (LBCGs) are very common at redshitfs z = 0.4 - 1.2. Those galaxies are believed to have...

    Stellar Population Synthesis of Star-forming Clumps in Galaxy Pairs and Non-interacting Spiral Galaxies
    We have identified 1027 star-forming complexes in a sample of 46 galaxies from the Spirals, Bridges, and Tails (SB&T) sample of interacting galaxies, and 693...
