Mapping metallicity variations across nearby galaxy disks

K. Kreckel, I. -T. Ho, G. A. Blanc +21

The distribution of metals within a galaxy traces the baryon cycle and the buildup of galactic disks, but the detailed gas phase metallicity distribution remains poorly sampled. We…

Predicting the global far-infrared SED of galaxies via machine learning techniques

W. Dobbels, M. Baes, S. Viaene +10

Dust plays an important role in shaping a galaxy's spectral energy distribution (SED). It absorbs ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) radiation and re-emits this energy in the…
