The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Southern Treasury (PHAST). II. The Spatially Resolved Recent Star Formation History in M31
Tobin M. Wainer, Benjamin F. Williams, Zhuo Chen +19
We use Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Southern Treasury (PHAST) to measure the spatially resolved recent star formation history (SFH)…
Stars Born in the Wind II: Widespread Extra-planar Star Formation in M82's Halo
Vaishnav V. Rao, Eric F. Bell, Adam Smercina +6
Galaxies evolve in tandem with their environments -- mergers and gas inflows drive galaxy growth while galactic outflows launched by supernovae may seed the galactic environment wi…
Stars Born in the Wind: M82's Outflow and Halo Star Formation
Vaishnav V. Rao, Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell +8
Starburst galaxies, like M82, launch kiloparsec-scale galactic outflows that interact with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in complex ways. Apart from enriching the CGM with metals…
Exploring the Diversity of Faint Satellites in the M81 Group
Katya Gozman, Eric F. Bell, In Sung Jang +9
In the last decade, we have been able to probe further down the galaxy luminosity function than ever before and expand into the regime of ultra-faint dwarfs (UFDs), which are some…
