Seeing credit and property rights from below: The experience of Catalan smallholders in the eighteenth century

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 759-782, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The Catalan case in south‐western Europe offers us the opportunity to take a detailed look at the impact a lowering of the interest rate may have had on the poor of a specific area. It is vital to examine how property rights operated in specific contexts, given the close relationship between land and credit markets.

Exploring modern bank penetration: Evidence from early twentieth‐century Netherlands

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 892-916, August 2023., 2023
Abstract We analyse the estate composition of the richest 30 per cent of people who died in the Netherlands in 1921 to find that households used a broad range of institutions to meet their financial demands. Goods and services were either paid in cash or settled periodically with suppliers.

Feathers and the Making of Luxury Experiences at the Sixteenth‐Century Spanish Court☆

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 399-438, June 2023., 2023
Abstract This article charts the activities of featherworkers (plumajeros) at the Habsburg court in Madrid. Drawing on archival records, objects, and paintings from sixteenth‐century Spain, I argue that royal featherworkers' skills, wit, and intricacy in the transformation of materials established feathers as luxury items.

Spelling correctness as a witness of changing documentary culture in Tuscia (eighth–ninth centuries)

open access: yesEarly Medieval Europe, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 220-251, May 2023., 2023
This paper discusses the evolution of documentary culture in early medieval Tuscia by quantitatively examining the Latin spelling of charter scribes in relation to the following factors: time, the distinction between the formulaic and non‐formulaic parts of the document, the scribe’s domicile, the scribe’s professional status, and the document type ...

Star cluster catalogues for the LEGUS dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
We present the star cluster catalogues for 17 dwarf and irregular galaxies in the HST Treasury Program ‘Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey’ (LEGUS). Cluster identification and photometry in this sub-sample are similar to that of the entire LEGUS sample, but ...

A Swift study of long-term changes in the X-ray flaring properties of Sagittarius A* [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The radiative counterpart of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre, Sagittarius A*, displays flaring emission in the X-ray band atop a steady, quiescent level. Flares are also observed in the near-infrared band.

Euclid: Early Release Observations. A glance at free-floating newborn planets in the sigma Orionis cluster [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We provide an early assessment of the imaging capabilities of the space mission to deeply probe nearby star-forming regions and associated very young open clusters, and in particular, to determine to which extent it can shed light into the newborn free ...

Evidence of enhanced star formation efficiency in luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present new observations made with the IRAM 30 m telescope of the J = 1−0 and 3–2 lines of HCN and HCO + used to probe the dense molecular gas content in a sample of 17 local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs).

X-ray emission from star-forming galaxies – III. Calibration of the LX-SFR relation up to redshift z ≈ 1.3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate the relation between total X-ray emission from star-forming galaxies and their star formation activity. Using nearby late-type galaxies and ULIRGs from Paper I and star-forming galaxies from Chandra Deep Fields, we construct a sample of 66
