Re-evaluating the resolved mass-metallicity relation with a self-consistent metallicity calibration
Ziming Peng, Renbin Yan, Zesen Lin +1
Aims. The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) is essential for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. Whether the star formation rate (SFR) plays a role in setting the metal…
Surprising increase of electron temperature in metal-rich star-forming region
Ziming Peng, Renbin Yan, Zesen Lin +3
The electron temperature is a crucial parameter for the determination of the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies. Low electron temperature is expected for metal-rich galaxies, theore…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Data-Model Discrepancy in Temperature-sensitive Line Ratios for Star-forming Galaxies
Ziming Peng, Renbin Yan, Xihan Ji +2
Gas-phase metallicity is a fundamental parameter that helps constrain the star-forming history and chemical evolution of a galaxy. Measuring electron temperature through auroral-to…
Ionized gas in quiescent galaxies: Temperature measurement and constraint on the ionization source
Man-Yin Leo Lee, Renbin Yan, Xihan Ji +5
In non-star-forming, passively evolving galaxies, regions with emission lines dominated by low-ionization species are classified as Low-Ionization Emission Regions (LIERs). The ion…
Criss Cross Nebula: Case study of shock regions with resolved microstructures at scales of 1000 AU
Tao Jing, Cheng Li, Renbin Yan +7
Using integral field spectroscopy from MaNGA, we study the resolved microstructures in a shocked region in Criss Cross Nebula (CCN), with an unprecedentedly high resolution of $\le…
The need for multicomponent dust attenuation in modeling nebular emission: Constraints from SDSS-IV MaNGA
Xihan Ji, Renbin Yan, Kevin Bundy +12
A fundamental assumption adopted in nearly every extragalactic emission-line study is that the attenuation of different emission lines can be described by a single attenuation curv…
Self-Consistent Grain Depletions and Abundances II: Effects on strong-line diagnostics of extragalactic H II regions
Chamani M. Gunasekera, Xihan Ji, Marios Chatzikos +2
The depletion of elements onto dust grains is characterized using a generalized depletion strength for any sightline, and trend-line parameters and . The para…
The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data
Abdurro'uf, Katherine Accetta, Conny Aerts +337
This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete…
Self-consistent grain depletions and abundances I: The Orion Nebula as a test case
Chamani Gunasekera, Xihan Ji, Marios Chatzikos +2
Atomic species in the interstellar medium (ISM) transition out of their gas phase mainly by depletion onto dust. In this study, we examine if there is any change to the spectral li…
Correlation between the gas-phase metallicity and ionization parameter in extragalactic HII regions
Xihan Ji, Renbin Yan
The variations of the metallicity and ionization parameter in HII regions are usually thought to be the dominant factors that produce the variations we see in the observed emission…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: the physical origin of off-galaxy H blobs in the local Universe
Xihan Ji, Cheng Li, Renbin Yan +9
H blobs are off-galaxy emission-line regions with weak or no optical counterparts. They are mostly visible in H line, appearing as concentrated blobs. Such unusual objects ha…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Refining Strong Line Diagnostic Classifications Using Spatially Resolved Gas Dynamics
David R. Law, Xihan Ji, Francesco Belfiore +8
We use the statistical power of the MaNGA integral-field spectroscopic galaxy survey to improve the definition of strong line diagnostic boundaries used to classify gas ionization…
Constraining Photoionization Models With a Reprojected Optical Diagnostic Diagram
Xihan Ji, Renbin Yan
Optical diagnostic diagrams are powerful tools to separate different ionizing sources in galaxies. However, the model-constraining power of the most widely-used diagrams is very li…
Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) Value-added Catalog
M. Molina, N. Ajgaonkar, R. Yan +5
We introduce the Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) value added catalog, which comprises 150 galaxies that have both SDSS/MaNGA integral field spectroscopy and archival Swift/UVOT near-UV (NU…
Upper boundaries of AGN regions in optical diagnostic diagrams
Xihan Ji, Renbin Yan, Rogerio Riffel +2
The distribution of galaxies in optical diagnostic diagrams can provide information about their physical parameters when compared with ionization models under proper assumptions. B…
