Stellar population synthesis techniques for predicting the observable light emitted by a
stellar population have extensive applications in numerous areas of astronomy. However …

The integrated light of a stellar population, measured through photometric filters that are
sensitive to the presence of young stars, is often used to infer the star formation rate (SFR) …

Low-mass star formation regions are unlikely to fully populate their initial mass functions
(IMFs), leading to a deficit of massive stars. In binary stellar populations, the full range of …

Since the early 1970s, stellar population modelling has been one of the basic tools for
understanding the physics of unresolved systems from observation of their integrated light …

The nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 5253 hosts a number of young, massive star
clusters, the two youngest of which are centrally concentrated and surrounded by thermal …

The Antennae galaxy (NGC 4038/39) is the closest major interacting galaxy system and is
therefore often studied as a merger prototype. We present the first comprehensive integral …

We present the first results from the Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds, the
highest resolution ultraviolet (UV) survey of the Magellanic Clouds yet completed. In this …

In order to empirically determine the time-scale and environmental dependence of stellar
cluster disruption, we have undertaken an analysis of the unprecedented multipointing …

Context. Recently, it has been noticed that the discrepancies in the integrated colour indices
(CIs) between star clusters and models are mostly due to the projection of bright stars in the …

Context. Stochasticity and physical parameter degeneracy problems complicate the
derivation of the parameters (age, mass, and extinction) of unresolved star clusters when …
