A Direct Stellar Metallicity Determination in the Disk of the Maser Galaxy NGC4258
Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Miguel A. Urbaneja, J. Zachary Gazak +4
We present the first direct determination of a stellar metallicity in the spiral galaxy NGC4258 (D=7.6 Mpc) based on the quantitative analysis of a low-resolution (~5 AE) Keck LRIS…
The Araucaria Project. The distance to the Small Magellanic Cloud from late-type eclipsing binaries
Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +12
We present a distance determination to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on an analysis of four detached, long period, late type eclipsing binaries discovered by the OGLE Surv…
Clues on the rejuvenation of the S0 galaxy NGC 404 from the chemical abundance of its outer disk
Fabio Bresolin
The oxygen abundance of the outer disk of the nearby S0 galaxy NGC 404, a prototypical early-type galaxy with extended star formation, has been derived from the analysis of HII reg…
The Araucaria Project. A Distance Determination to the Local Group Spiral M33 from Near-Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables
W. Gieren, M. Gorski, G. Pietrzynski +10
Motivated by an amazing range of reported distances to the nearby Local Group spiral galaxy M33, we have obtained deep near-infrared photometry for 26 long-period Cepheids in this…
Testing For Azimuthal Abundance Gradients In M101
Yanxia Li, Fabio Bresolin, Robert C. Kennicutt
New optical spectra of 28 H II regions in the M101 disk have been obtained, yielding 10 new detections of the [O III]λ4363 auroral line. The oxygen abundance gradient measured from…
No temperature fluctuations in the giant HII region H 1013
G. Stasinska, C. Morisset, S. Simon-Diaz +3
While collisionally excited lines in HII regions allow one to easily probe the chemical composition of the interstellar medium in galaxies, the possible presence of important tempe…
