Formation of globular cluster-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies through mergers
Truman Tapia, Hidenori Matsui, Kenji Bekki +6
We use high-resolution, idealized hydrodynamic simulations of gas-rich dwarf-galaxy mergers to test whether such encounters can form ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) with globular clu…
The Mysterious Case of Iron in XMPs: Anomalous High log(Fe/O) Observed in Extremely Metal-Poor Galaxies HSCJ1631+4426 and SDSSJ0811+4730
Aaron Myszka, Themiya Nanayakkara, Karl Glazebrook +8
We present integral field spectroscopic observations of two local extremely metal-poor galaxies (XMPs), HSCJ1631+4426 and SDSSJ0811+4730, obtained with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (…
Exploring the synergies of with MUSE spectroscopy in PHANGS H II regions
Eric Habjan, Kathryn Kreckel, Christopher Faesi +16
Spatially resolved maps of gas-phase metallicity provide key constraints on the chemical enrichment and mixing processes that drive galaxy evolution, but measurements based only on…
Toward Unbiased Abundance Measurements in Inhomogeneous Regions
Eric Habjan, Christopher Faesi, Kathryn Kreckel +10
Probing the chemical content of the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxies provides key insight into their chemical evolution and informs our interpretation of galaxies at hi…
The PHANGS-Hα survey. Ground-based narrow-band imaging of nearby star-forming galaxies
Alessandro Razza, Guillermo A. Blanc, Brent Groves +36
We present PHANGS-Hα, a narrow-band imaging survey that maps Hα emission over a sample of 65 nearby massive star-forming galaxies. The data were obtained using the MPG-ESO 2.2-me…
Stellar associations powering HII regions $\unicode{x2013}$ II. Escape fraction of ionizing photons
Fabian Scheuermann, Kathryn Kreckel, Jia Wei Teh +27
Newly formed stars have a profound impact on their environment by depositing energy and momentum into the surrounding gas. However, only a fraction of the stellar feedback is retai…
