A Strong Stellar Age-Metallicity Gradient Relation in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies Driven by Stellar Migration and Environmental Quenching

Tie Li, Hong-Xin Zhang, Wenhe Lyu +16

Stellar metallicity gradients () provide a fossil record of the assembly history of galaxies. We present an analysis of for 90 nearby low-mass galaxies u…

AVID: A Near-Major Post-Merger of Late-Type Dwarfs beneath a Regularly Rotating HI Disk (VCC 693)

Fujia Li, Hong-Xin Zhang, Elias Brinks +23

On the periphery of galaxy clusters, moderately high galaxy densities and velocity dispersions favour interactions and mergers that influence galaxy evolution prior to cluster infa…

Updated Metallicity Diagnostics for Precision Oxygen Abundance Measurements in High-redshift Galaxies with JWST

Shihong Liu, Yu Rong, Tie Li +7

Recent work has demonstrated that widely used strong-line oxygen abundance indicators, such as O3N2, , and , suffer from large uncertainties when applied…

Unveiling the nature and fate of the almost-dark cloud AGC 226178 through HI mapping

Yu-Zhu Sun, Hong-Xin Zhang, Elias Brinks +18

The origin of extragalactic, almost dark HI clouds with extreme gas-to-stellar mass ratios remains poorly understood. We investigate the nature and fate of the "almost dark" cloud…

AVID: Formation and evolution of a coalesced major merger of late-type dwarf galaxies (VCC 479) on the outskirts of the Virgo cluster

Weibin Sun, Hong-Xin Zhang, Rory Smith +24

Dwarf-dwarf galaxy mergers are among the least explored aspects of dwarf galaxy pre-processing as they fall into clusters. We present the first case study of a coalesced late-type…

The Internal Kinematics, Stellar Population, and Gas-phase Properties of The Pseudobulge in An Ultra-diffuse Galaxy: AGC721966

Shihong Liu, Yu Rong, Huiyuan Wang +8

Leveraging spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the central stellar velocity dispersion, stellar population properties, star…
