Magnesium isotope ratios in Milky Way and dwarf galaxy stars

M. McKenzie, S. Monty, D. Yong +8

Under the assumption of hierarchical galaxy formation, dwarf galaxies are the closest existing analogues to the high-redshift protogalaxies that merged to form the Milky Way. These…

Global trends in morphology from massive to dwarf galaxies

Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Christopher J. Conselice +7

The morphological properties of dwarf galaxies (Mstar < 10^9.5 MSun) remain largely unexplored, particularly outside the local neighbourhood. We explore how morphology changes acro…

Multiphase images of a powerful supernova-driven wind in the early Universe

Rebecca L. Davies, D. B. Fisher, R. Herrera-Camus +38

Galactic winds are considered a likely driver of rapid quenching in early massive galaxies, but until now there has been no direct evidence that such systems drive winds powerful e…
