Constraining the dark matter halos of the smallest galaxies offers fundamental insights into the nature of dark matter and stellar feedback. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Ins…
Linking neutral gas inflows and outflows to offsets in the star-forming main sequence and mass-metallicity relation
S. Weng, M. Pieri, A. Saintonge +40
Gas inflows and outflows regulate galaxy growth, but direct observational links between measured gas flows and galaxy scaling relations remain limited. Using ~6,000 star-forming ga…
