The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies are shaped by nearly every physical
property of the system, including the star-formation history, metal content, abundance …

Whether the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is universal or is instead sensitive to
environmental conditions is of critical importance: The IMF influences most observable …

The stellar masses, mean ages, metallicities, and star formation histories of galaxies are
now commonly estimated via stellar population synthesis (SPS) techniques. SPS relies on …

Evolutionary population synthesis models for a wide range of metallicities, ages, star
formation histories, initial mass functions and horizontal branch morphologies, including …

The aim of this paper is to set constraints on the epochs of early-type galaxy formation
through the" archaeology" of the stellar populations in local galaxies. Using our models of …

We study the volume-limited and nearly mass-selected (stellar mass M stars≳ 6× 109 M⊙)
ATLAS3D sample of 260 early-type galaxies (ETGs, ellipticals Es and lenticulars S0s). We …

In the companion Paper XV of this series, we derive accurate total mass-to-light ratios within
a sphere of radius centred on the galaxy, as well as stellar (M/L) stars (with the dark matter …

Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …

We explore the connection between the UV luminosity functions (LFs) of high-z galaxies and
the distribution of stellar masses and star formation histories (SFHs) in their host dark matter …

We review the quantitative science that can be and has been done with redshift and peculiar
velocity surveys of galaxies in the nearby universe. After a brief background setting the …
