Dust in the Smith Cloud? A UV Investigation into the Smith Cloud's Gas-Phase Abundance Patterns

Johanna Vazquez, Kathleen Barger, Frances Cashman +11

The Smith Cloud is a high-velocity cloud (HVC) on its final approach to the Milky Way that shows evidence of interaction with the Galaxy's disk. We investigate the metallicity and…

Exploring Simulated Early Star Formation in the Context of the Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies

Lauren Corlies, Kathryn V. Johnston, John H. Wise

Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are typically assumed to have simple, stellar populations with star formation ending at reionization. Yet as the observations of these galaxies con…
