The Properties of Young Clusters in M82
L. J. Smith, J. S. Gallagher
We present a detailed study of two luminous super star clusters in the starburst galaxy M82. Spectra, covering 3250-8790 A at a resolution of 1.6 A, were obtained at the 4.2 m Will…

The chemical evolution of galaxies at high redshift
L. J. Smith, M. Pettini, D. L. King +1
Observations of absorption lines in the spectra of distant QSOs offer a new approach for tracking the evolution of normal galaxies from early epochs to the present day. The damped…

An Observational Limit on Circumstellar H-Alpha from Supernova 1994D
R. J. Cumming, P. Lundqvist, L. J. Smith +2
We searched for narrow H in a high-resolution spectrum of SN 1994D taken 10 days before maximum, and found none. We estimate the limit this places on the progenitor mass loss, a…
