Elemental abundances in M31: Individual and Coadded Spectroscopic [Fe/H] and [α/Fe] throughout the M31 Halo with SPLASH

J. Leigh Wojno, Karoline M. Gilbert, Evan N. Kirby +6

We present spectroscopic chemical abundances of red giant branch (RGB) stars in Andromeda (M31), using medium resolution () spectra obtained via the Spectroscopic and Ph…

Spiral Arms are Metal Freeways: Azimuthal Gas-Phase Metallicity Variations in Simulated Cosmological Zoom-in Flocculent Disks

Matthew E. Orr, Blakesley Burkhart, Andrew Wetzel +7

We examine the azimuthal variations in gas-phase metallicity profiles in simulated Milky Way mass disk galaxies from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) cosmological zo…

Resolved SPLASH Chemodynamics in Andromeda's PHAT Stellar Halo and Disk: On the Nature of the Inner Halo Along the Major Axis

Ivanna Escala, Amanda C. N. Quirk, Puragra Guhathakurta +5

Stellar kinematics and metallicity are key to exploring formation scenarios for galactic disks and halos. In this work, we characterized the relationship between kinematics and pho…

Kinematics and Metallicity of Red Giant Branch Stars in the Northeast Shelf of M31

Ivanna Escala, Karoline M. Gilbert, Mark Fardal +4

We obtained Keck/DEIMOS spectra of 556 individual red giant branch stars in 4 spectroscopic fields spanning projected kpc along the Northeast (NE) shelf of M31. We present…
