The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) provides critical insights into the role of early galaxies in shaping the ionization state of the universe. However, because of the opacity of the i…
SDSS-V LVM: Detectability of Wolf-Rayet stars and their He II ionizing flux in low-metallicity environments I. The weak-lined, early-type WN3 stars in the SMC
G. González-Torà, A. A. C. Sander, E. Egorova +18
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the nearest low-metallicity dwarf galaxy. Its proximity and low reddening has enabled us to detect its Wolf-Rayet (WR) star population with 12 k…
Consistent gas-phase C/O abundances from UV and optical emission lines: a robust scale for chemical evolution across cosmic time
Paige M. Kelly, Tucker Jones, Yuguang Chen +5
The carbon to oxygen (C/O) abundance ratio is a valuable tracer of star formation history, as C and O enrichment occurs on different timescales. However, measurements based on ultr…

We investigate the chemical evolution of N/O using a sample of 45 local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the CLASSY survey. This sample spans a wide range of galaxy properties, wi…
JWST/NIRSpec Observations of High Ionization Emission Lines in Galaxies at High Redshift

Shining a Light on the Connections between Galactic Outflows Seen in Absorption and Emission Lines
Xinfeng Xu, Alaina Henry, Timothy Heckman +14
Galactic outflows provide important feedback effects to regulate the evolution of host galaxies. Two primary diagnostics of outflows are broad and/or blueshifted emission and absor…
