The Optical and Near-Infrared Properties of Galaxies. I. Luminosity and Stellar Mass Functions [PDF]
, 2003 We use a large sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to calculate galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions in the local universe. We estimate corrections for passband shifting and galaxy

Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The merger rate of stellar-mass black hole binaries (sBHBs) inferred by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) suggests the need for an efficient source of sBHB formation.

ON THE ORIGIN OF STELLAR MASSES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 It has been a longstanding problem to determine, as far as possible, the characteristic masses of stars in terms of fundamental constants; the almost complete invariance of this mass as a function of the star-forming environment suggests that this should be possible. Here I provide such a calculation.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have recently received much attention for their impacts on exoplanets and stellar evolution. Detecting prominence eruptions, the initial phase of CMEs, as the blueshifted excess component of Balmer lines is a ...

From theoretical stellar spectra to realistic models of the Milky Way : a never ending Odyssey [PDF]
, 2007 The last chapter is dedicated to the compilation of the results and the discussion about the success of - but also about the problems that have arisen during - and in part also survived - this work. The main goal of this thesis was, firstly, to convert

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Model: Dust-to-metal Ratio of H ii Regions
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Using a sample of face-on star-forming galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we statistically derive the typical optical depth τ _cl of individual H ii regions based on the “Chocolate Chip Cookie” model of Lu et al. (2022).

The Black Hole Mass Function: From Stellar to Supermassive [PDF]
, 2023 The overall purpose of this thesis is to establish the black hole (BH) mass function, from stellar to supermassive. We divide this work into two: 1) the stellar black hole mass function covering the mass range $m_{\bullet} \sim 5 - 150 \ M_{\odot}$; 2 ...

A detached stellar-mass black hole candidate in the globular cluster NGC 3201 [PDF]
, 2018 As part of our massive spectroscopic survey of 25 Galactic globular clusters with MUSE, we performed multiple epoch observations of NGC 3201 with the aim of constraining the binary fraction. In this cluster, we found one curious star at the main-sequence
