Ripples of Stellar Enrichment (RoSE) - simulating element production and mixing in a Milky Way-mass galactic disc star-by-star

Chuhan Zhang, Mark R. Krumholz, Melissa K. Ness +3

We present the Ripples of Stellar Enrichment (RoSE) simulations, which follow an isolated Milky Way-mass disc galaxy with star-by-star feedback and nucleosynthesis from five physic…

How Mergers and Flybys Shape Azimuthal Age Patterns in Spiral Galaxies

Qian-Hui Chen, Alex M. Garcia, Zefeng Li +7

Spiral structures are one of the most common features in galaxies, yet their origins and evolution remain debated. Stellar age distributions offer crucial insights into galaxy evol…

Metallicity fluctuation statistics in the interstellar medium and young stars -- II. Elemental cross-correlations and the structure of chemical abundance space

Mark R. Krumholz, Yuan-Sen Ting, Zefeng Li +3

Observations of Milky Way stars by multiplexed spectroscopic instruments and of gas in nearby galaxies using integral field units have made it possible to measure the abundances of…

Element nucleosynthetic origins from abundance spatial distributions beyond the Milky Way

Zefeng Li, Mark R. Krumholz, Anna F. McLeod +7

An element's astrophysical origin should be reflected in the spatial distribution of its abundance, yielding measurably different spatial distributions for elements with different…

Understanding the Mechanisms Behind the Distribution of Galactic Metals

Chuhan Zhang, Zefeng Li, Zipeng Hu +1

The evolution and distribution of metals within galaxies are critical for understanding galactic evolution and star formation processes, but the mechanisms responsible for shaping…

Quantifying azimuthal variations within the interstellar medium of z ~ 0 spiral galaxies with the TYPHOON survey

Qian-Hui Chen, Kathryn Grasha, Andrew J. Battisti +13

Most star formation in the local Universe occurs in spiral galaxies, but their origin remains an unanswered question. Various theories have been proposed to explain the development…

Comparing metallicity correlations in nearby non-AGN and AGN-host galaxies

Song-lin Li, Zefeng Li, Emily Wisnioski +2

The gas-phase metallicity distribution within galaxies records critical information about galactic evolution. In this work we investigate how active galactic nuclei (AGN) influence…

The mass-metallicity and fundamental metallicity relations in non-AGN and AGN-host galaxies

Song-Lin Li, Kathryn Grasha, Mark R. Krumholz +5

Galaxies' stellar masses, gas-phase oxygen abundances (metallicity), and star formation rates (SFRs) obey a series of empirical correlations, most notably the mass-metallicity rela…

Cosmological evolution of metallicity correlation functions from the Auriga simulations

Zefeng Li, Robert J. J. Grand, Emily Wisnioski +7

We study the cosmological evolution of the two-point correlation functions of galactic gas-phase metal distributions using the 28 simulated galaxies from the Auriga Project. Using…

The MAGPI Survey: Effects of Spiral Arms on Different Tracers of the Interstellar Medium and Stellar Populations at z~0.3

Qian-Hui Chen, Kathryn Grasha, Andrew J. Battisti +17

Spiral structures are important drivers of the secular evolution of disc galaxies, however, the origin of spiral arms and their effects on the development of galaxies remain myster…
