Massive Stars in the Tarantula Nebula: A Rosetta Stone for Extragalactic Supergiant HII Regions

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
A review of the properties of the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) in the Large Magellanic Cloud is presented, primarily from the perspective of its massive star content.

Properties of massive stars in four clusters of the VVV survey

open access: yes, 2015
The evolution of massive stars is only partly understood. Observational constraints can be obtained from the study of massive stars located in young massive clusters.

Lynds 1622: a nearby star forming cloud projected on Orion B?

open access: yes, 2008
We present results of optical spectroscopic and photometric observation of the pre-main sequence stars associated with the cometary shaped dark cloud Lynds 1622, and 12CO and 13CO observations of the cloud.

Local kinematics of K and M giants from Coravel/Hipparcos/Tycho-2 data. Revisiting the concept of superclusters

open access: yes, 2004
The availability of the Hipparcos Catalogue triggered many kinematic and dynamical studies of the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, those studies generally lacked the third component of the space velocities, i.e., the radial velocities.

A Comprehensive Study of Czernik 41 and NGC 1342 Using CCD UBV and Gaia DR3 Data

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In this study, the structural, astrophysical, kinematic, and Galactic orbital parameters of the open clusters Czernik 41 and NGC 1342, as well as their dynamical evolution, are investigated using CCD UBV photometry and Gaia data.

Hα Emission among Evolved FGKM Stars: A Compendium from the Literature

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Emission in the wings of the H α line among late-type giant stars occurs as a consequence of conditions in their chromospheres. Data from the literature have been used to document the incidence of H α emission among Population I giant stars as a function
