The competing effects of recent and long-term star formation histories on oxygen, nitrogen, and stellar metallicities

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Vivienne Wild, Natalia Vale Asari +1

The fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) - the three-way trend between galaxy stellar masses, star-formation rates (SFRs) and gaseous metallicities - remains amongst the most stu…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: how do star-formation histories affect gas-phase abundances?

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Vivienne Wild, Kate Rowlands +2

Gas-phase abundances in galaxies are the products of those galaxies' evolutionary histories. The star-formation history (SFH) of a region might therefore be expected to influence t…

Clues on the history of early-type galaxies from SDSS spectra and GALEX photometry

Ariel Werle, Roberto Cid Fernandes, Natalia Vale Asari +10

Stellar population studies of early-type galaxies (ETGs) based on their optical stellar continuum suggest that these are quiescent systems. However, emission lines and ultraviolet…

Less than the sum of its parts: the dust-corrected H luminosity of star-forming galaxies explored at different spatial resolutions with MaNGA and MUSE

N. Vale Asari, V. Wild, A. L. de Amorim +10

The H and H emission line luminosities measured in a single integrated spectrum are affected in non-trivial ways by point-to-point variations in dust attenuation in a galaxy.…
