SDSS-V LVM: Revealing the Physical and Chemical Structure of the Helix Nebula
R. Orozco-Duarte, J. E. Méndez-Delgado, J. A. Toalá +27
We present the first spatially contiguous study of the physical and chemical structure of the Helix Nebula (NGC~7293, PNG 036.1-57.1) based on integral-field spectroscopy from the…
SDSS-V LVM: Verifying what, and where, the 'Galactic Center' Lobe is
K. Kreckel, O. V. Egorov, N. Drory +23
The so-called 'Galactic Center' Lobe (GCL) is an extended (~1 deg) radio continuum feature situated above the Galactic Plane, for which the literature contains varying claims about…
Can Wolf-Rayet stars be the missing ingredient to explain high-z He II ionizing radiation?
G. González-TorÃ, A. A. C. Sander, E. Egorova +7
Classical Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are hot, massive stars with depleted hydrogen. At low metallicities (Z), WN3-type WR stars have relatively thin winds and are major sources of ioniz…
SDSS-V LVM: Detectability of Wolf-Rayet stars and their He II ionizing flux in low-metallicity environments I. The weak-lined, early-type WN3 stars in the SMC
G. González-TorÃ, A. A. C. Sander, E. Egorova +18
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the nearest low-metallicity dwarf galaxy. Its proximity and low reddening has enabled us to detect its Wolf-Rayet (WR) star population with 12 k…
Temperature based radial metallicity gradients in nearby galaxies
K. Kreckel, R. J. Rickards Vaught, O. V. Egorov +14
Gas-phase abundances provide insights into the baryon cycle, with radial gradients and 2D metallicity distributions tracking how metals build up and redistribute within galaxy disk…
SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): A Glimpse into Orion
K. Kreckel, O. V. Egorov, E. Egorova +37
The Orion Molecular Cloud complex, one of the nearest (D = 406 pc) and most extensively studied massive star-forming regions, is ideal for constraining the physics of stellar feedb…
