Are the Milky Way and Andromeda unusual? A comparison with Milky Way and Andromeda Analogs

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Gail Zasowski, Jeffrey Newman +10

Our Milky Way provides a unique test case for galaxy evolution models, thanks to our privileged position within the Milky Way's disc. This position also complicates comparisons bet…

The Effect of Bars on the Ionized ISM: Optical Emission Lines from Milky Way Analogs

Dhanesh Krishnarao, Christy Tremonti, Amelia Fraser-McKelvie +15

Gas interior to the bar of the Milky Way has recently been shown as the closest example of a Low Ionization (Nuclear) Emission Region--LI(N)ER--in the universe. To better understan…

Discovery of diffuse optical emission lines from the inner Galaxy: Evidence for LI(N)ER-like gas

Dhanesh Krishnarao, Robert A. Benjamin, L. Matthew Haffner

Optical emission lines are used to categorize galaxies into three groups according to their dominant central radiation source: active galactic nuclei, star formation, or low-ioniza…

Discovery of High-Velocity H Emission in the Direction of the Fermi Bubble

Dhanesh Krishnarao, Robert A. Benjamin, L. Matthew Haffner

Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) observations reveal high-velocity and [NII] emission lines in the same direction and velocity as ultraviolet absorption-line features t…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Spatially resolved star formation in barred galaxies

Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Michael Merrifield +8

Bars inhabit the majority of local-Universe disk galaxies and may be important drivers of galaxy evolution through the redistribution of gas and angular momentum within disks. We i…
