Validating full-spectrum fitting with a synthetic integral-field spectroscopic observation of the Milky Way
Zixian Wang, Michael R. Hayden, Sanjib Sharma +5
Ongoing deep IFS observations of disk galaxies provide opportunities for comparison with the Milky Way (MW) to understand galaxy evolution. However, such comparisons are marred by…
Expanding on the Fundamental Metallicity Relation in Dwarf Galaxies with MUSE
Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Katja Fahrion, François Mernier +10
The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) represents one of the most important scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution, comprising a positive correlation between stellar mas…
The Gas Morphology of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies
S. K. Stuber, E. Schinnerer, T. G. Williams +22
The morphology of a galaxy stems from secular and environmental processes during its evolutionary history. Thus galaxy morphologies have been a long used tool to gain insights on g…
Fuelling the nuclear ring of NGC 1097
Mattia C. Sormani, Ashley T. Barnes, Jiayi Sun +24
Galactic bars can drive cold gas inflows towards the centres of galaxies. The gas transport happens primarily through the so-called bar ``dust lanes'', which connect the galactic d…
NGC 1436: the making of a lenticular galaxy in the Fornax cluster
Alessandro Loni, Paolo Serra, Marc Sarzi +25
We study the evolutionary path of the Fornax cluster galaxy NGC1436, which is known to be currently transitioning from a spiral into a lenticular morphology. This galaxy hosts a…
The Physical Drivers and Observational Tracers of CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor Variations in Nearby Barred Galaxy Centers
Yu-Hsuan Teng, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jiayi Sun +24
The CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_\rm{CO}$) is central to measuring the amount and properties of molecular gas. It is known to vary with environmental conditions, and previous…
Resolved stellar population properties of PHANGS-MUSE galaxies
I. Pessa, E. Schinnerer, P. Sanchez-Blazquez +17
Analyzing resolved stellar populations across the disk of a galaxy can provide unique insights into how that galaxy assembled its stellar mass over its lifetime. Previous work at ~…
The Fornax3D project: Environmental effects on the assembly of dynamically cold disks in Fornax cluster galaxies
Y. Ding, L. Zhu, G. van de Ven +12
We apply a population-orbit superposition method to 16 galaxies in the Fornax cluster observed with MUSE/VLT in the context of the Fornax3D project. By fitting the luminosity distr…
Serendipitous Nebular-phase JWST Imaging of SN Ia 2021aefx: Testing the Confinement of 56-Co Decay Energy
Ness Mayker Chen, Michael A. Tucker, Nils Hoyer +29
We present new 0.3-21 micron photometry of SN 2021aefx in the spiral galaxy NGC 1566 at +357 days after B-band maximum, including the first detection of any SN Ia at >15 micron. Th…
The interplay of internal and external processes in the buildup of disk galaxies: thick-disk star formation histories in AURIGA simulations
Francesca Pinna, Daniel Walo-Martín, Robert J. J. Grand
Recent integral-field spectroscopy observations have revealed that thick- and thin-disk star-formation histories are regulated by the interplay of internal and external processes.…
The vertical structure of the spiral galaxy NGC 3501: first stages of the formation of a thin metal-rich disc
Natascha Sattler, Francesca Pinna, Nadine Neumayer +5
We trace the evolution of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3501, making use of its stellar populations extracted from deep integral-field spectroscopy MUSE observations. We present st…
Improving Star Cluster Age Estimates in PHANGS-HST Galaxies and the Impact on Cluster Demographics in NGC 628
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Janice C. Lee +29
A long-standing problem when deriving the physical properties of stellar populations is the degeneracy between age, reddening, and metallicity. When a single metallicity is used fo…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: The Dust Filament Network of NGC 628 and its Relation to Star Formation Activity
David A. Thilker, Janice C. Lee, Sinan Deger +36
PHANGS-JWST mid-infrared (MIR) imaging of nearby spiral galaxies has revealed ubiquitous filaments of dust emission in intricate detail. We present a pilot study to systematically…
