A pilot study using deep infrared imaging to constrain the star formation history of the XUV stellar populations in NGC 4625
Stephanie J. Bush, Robert C. Kennicutt, M. L. N. Ashby +3
In a LCDM universe, disk galaxies' outer regions are the last to form. Characterizing their contents is critical for understanding the ongoing process of disk formation, but observ…
Carbon and oxygen abundances from recombination lines in low-metallicity star-forming galaxies. Implications for chemical evolution
C. Esteban, J. García-Rojas, L. Carigi +4
We present deep echelle spectrophotometry of the brightest emission-line knots of the star-forming galaxies He 2-10, Mkn 1271, NGC 3125, NGC 5408, POX 4, SDSS J1253-0312, Tol 1457-…
The relation for massive bursts of star formation
Ricardo Chávez, Roberto Terlevich, Elena Terlevich +4
The validity of the emission line luminosity vs. ionised gas velocity dispersion () correlation for HII galaxies (HIIGx), and its potential as an accurate distance estimator…
Stellar Metallicity of the Extended Disk and Distance of the Spiral Galaxy NGC 3621
Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Miguel A. Urbaneja, Fabio Bresolin +2
Low resolution ESO VLT/FORS spectra of blue supergiant stars are analyzed to determine stellar metallicities (based on elements such as Fe, Ti, Mg) in the extended disk of the spir…
A New Method for Measuring Metallicities of Young Super Star Clusters
J. Zachary Gazak, Ben Davies, Nate Bastian +7
We demonstrate how the metallicities of young super star clusters can be measured using novel spectroscopic techniques in the J-band. The near-infrared flux of super star clusters…
Quantitative Spectroscopy of Blue Supergiants in Metal-Poor Dwarf Galaxy NGC 3109
Matthew W. Hosek, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Fabio Bresolin +6
We present a quantitative analysis of the low-resolution (4.5 A) spectra of 12 late-B and early-A blue supergiants (BSGs) in the metal-poor dwarf galaxy NGC 3109. A modified method…
