Star Formation and Accretion in Nearby Galaxies
J. Moldon, A. Alberdi, M. Perez-Torres +11
The appearance of galaxies is strongly dominated by two physical phenomena: star formation and accretion of material onto compact objects, primarily supermassive black holes. Nearb…
Stellar Populations and Molecular Gas Composition in the Low-Metallicity Environment of WLM
Haylee N. Archer, Deidre A. Hunter, Bruce G. Elmegreen +8
We investigate the stellar populations and molecular gas properties of a star-forming region within the dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy WLM. Low-metallicity dIrrs like WLM offer a va…
Uncovering Extraplanar Gas in UGCA 250 with the Ultra-deep MHONGOOSE Survey
Sushma Kurapati, D. J. Pisano, W. J. G. de Blok +28
We use the neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) observations of the edge-on galaxy UGCA 250, taken as part of the MeerKAT HI Observations of Nearby Galactic Objects - Observing Southern Em…
High-resolution HI mapping of nearby extremely metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxies
Tom C. Scott, Elias Brinks, Chandreyee Sengupta +1
Optical observations of Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies (BCDs) show they typically have high specific star formation rates and low metallicites. A subset of these galaxies (those with…
