Internal Structure, Not Environment, Shapes Metallicity Gradients in Low-Mass Galaxies from MaNGA

Anuroop Dasgupta, Namrata Roy, Saumyadip Samui +2

Dwarf and low-mass galaxies are highly sensitive to stellar feedback and gas flows, yet their spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity remains poorly characterised. We measure radi…
