The present volume on stellar formation discusses basic physical principles relevant to such processes, regions of recent star formation, galaxy formation and...
Star-forming Objects in the Tidal Tails of Compact Groups
A search for star-forming objects belonging to tidal tails has been carried out in a sample of deep Hα images of 16 compact groups of galaxies. A total of 36...
Star-forming Regions in the Irregular Galaxy NGC 4449: Determination of Their Integrated Parameters
We present a study of the H II regions in the central area of the giant irregular galaxy NGC 4449 based on observations taken on the William Herschel Telescope...
Statistical properties of H II regions in the disc of M100
From a new mosaic image in the Hα line of the complete disc of the spiral galaxy M100, a catalogue is composed listing 1948 individual H II regions. I give...
Statistics and properties of H II regions in NGC 6814
We present a new H-alpha image of high quality of the grand-design galaxy NGC 6814, and describe statistical properties of the H II region population. We have...
Stellar populations and physical properties of starbursts in the antennae galaxy from self-consistent modelling of MUSE spectra
We have modelled the stellar and nebular continua and emission-line intensity ratios of massive stellar populations in the Antennae galaxy using high resolution...
Studying Galaxy Formation and Evolution from Local Group Galaxies
We present the main research activities of the IAC research Group ``Stellar Populations in Galaxies'', with emphasis on the topics that are directly related to...
Sulphur abundances and line temperatures in a sample of HII galaxies
We present long-slit observations in the red and near infrared of 12 HII galaxies made with the Isaac Newton Telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory...
