The analysis of emission lines allows us to estimate the star formation rate and initial mass function of ionizing stellar populations, and the properties of active galactic nuclei. This book presents lectures from the eighteenth Winter School of the Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute (IAC), devoted to emission lines and the astrophysical objects that produce them. Written by prestigious researchers and experienced observers, it covers the formation of emission lines and the different sources that produce them. It shows how emission lines in different wavelengths, from ultraviolet to near infrared, can provide essential information on understanding the formation and evolution of astrophysical objects. It also includes practical tutorials for data reduction, making this a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students. 410 0$aCanary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics (Series) 606 $aEmission-line galaxies$vCongresses 606 $aActive galactic nuclei$vCongresses 615 0$aEmission-line galaxies 615 0$aActive galactic nuclei 676 $a523.1/12 701 $aCepa$b Jordi$01762865 712 12$aCanary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809450503321 996 $aThe emission-line universe$94203026 997 $aUNINA
