The [α/Fe]-[Fe/H] relation in the E-MOSAICS simulations: its connection to the birth place of globular clusters and the fraction of globular cluster field stars in the bulge

Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Marie Martig +4

The α-element abundances of the globular cluster (GC) and field star populations of galaxies encode information about the formation of each of these components. We use the E-MOSAIC…

Gas flows in galactic centre environments: cloud evolution and star formation in the Central Molecular Zone

Maya A. Petkova, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the most extreme star-forming environment in the Milky Way in terms of gas pressures, densities, temperatures, and dynamics. It acts as a critic…

The headlight cloud in NGC 628: An extreme giant molecular cloud in a typical galaxy disk

Cinthya N. Herrera, Jérôme Pety, Annie Hughes +25

Cloud-scale surveys of molecular gas reveal the link between molecular clouds properties and star formation (SF) across a range of galactic environments. Cloud populations in galax…

The Gas-Star Formation Cycle in Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies I. Assessment of Multi-scale Variations

Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes, Adam Leroy +21

The processes regulating star formation in galaxies are thought to act across a hierarchy of spatial scales. To connect extragalactic star formation relations from global and kpc-s…

Mapping metallicity variations across nearby galaxy disks

K. Kreckel, I. -T. Ho, G. A. Blanc +21

The distribution of metals within a galaxy traces the baryon cycle and the buildup of galactic disks, but the detailed gas phase metallicity distribution remains poorly sampled. We…

The mass fraction of halo stars contributed by the disruption of globular clusters in the E-MOSAICS simulations

Marta Reina-Campos, Meghan E. Hughes, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +5

Globular clusters (GCs) have been posited, alongside dwarf galaxies, as significant contributors to the field stellar population of the Galactic halo. In order to quantify their co…
