Reconstructing the Globular Cluster Initial Mass Function from Present-Day Globular Cluster Systems
Elizabeth Moreno-Hilario, Hui Li, Luis A. Martinez-Medina
The near-universal turnover mass of the present-day globular cluster mass function (GCMF), , is a well established observational featu…
Identifying signatures of inflow onto face-on galaxies using the Balmer decrement
Meghna Sitaram, Hui Li, Yong Zheng +4
Isolated star-forming galaxies require inflows of fresh gas from the surrounding medium to sustain episodes of star formation over time. However, there are very few direct detectio…
Two Channels of Metal-Rich Compact Stellar System Formation: Starbursts under High Ram Pressure versus Tidal Stripping
Yuan Bian, Min Du, Victor P. Debattista +9
Most galaxies follow well-defined scaling relations of metallicity and stellar mass; however, some outliers at the low mass end of the observed galaxy population exhibit unusually…
Size Growth on Short Timescales of Star-Forming Galaxies: Insights from Size Variation with Rest-Frame Wavelength with JADES
Cheng Jia, Enci Wang, Huiyuan Wang +11
We investigate size variation with rest-frame wavelength for star-forming galaxies based on the second JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey data release. Star-forming galaxies a…
