The internal metallicity distributions of simulated galaxies from EAGLE, Illustris, and IllustrisTNG at z=1.8-4 as probed by Gamma Ray Burst hosts
Benjamin Metha, Michele Trenti
Massive stars are thought to be progenitors of Long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), most likely with a bias favouring low metallicity progenitors. Because galaxies do not have a constant…
A "Rosetta Stone" for Studies of Spatial Variation in Astrophysical Data: Power Spectra, Semivariograms, Structure Functions, and More
Benjamin Metha, Sabrina Berger
From the turbulent interstellar medium to the cosmic web, astronomers in many different fields have needed to make sense of spatial data describing our Universe. Through different…
A geostatistical analysis of multiscale metallicity variations in galaxies [I]: Introduction and comparison of high-resolution metallicity maps to an analytic metal transport model
Benjamin Metha, Michele Trenti, Tingjin Chu
Thanks to recent advances in integral field spectroscopy (IFS), modern surveys of nearby galaxies are capable of resolving metallicity maps of Hii regions down to scales of ~50pc.…
Early results from GLASS-JWST. XX: Unveiling a population of "red-excess'' galaxies in Abell2744 and in the coeval field
Benedetta Vulcani, Tommaso Treu, Antonello Calabro +26
We combine JWST/NIRCam imaging and MUSE data to characterize the properties of galaxies in different environmental conditions in the cluster Abell2744 () and in its immed…
A novel approach to investigate chemical inhomogeneities in GRB host galaxies: The relation
Benjamin Metha, Alex J. Cameron, Michele Trenti
Models of chemical enrichment and inhomogeneity in high-redshift galaxies are challenging to constrain observationally. In this work, we discuss a novel approach to probe chemical…
A novel analysis of contamination in Lyman-break galaxy samples at : spatial correlation with intermediate-redshift galaxies at
Miftahul Hilmi, Nicha Leethochawalit, Michele Trenti +1
Potential contamination from low/intermediate-redshift galaxies, such as objects with a prominent Balmer break, affects the photometric selection of high-redshift galaxies through…
