It's a matter of time: Empirical Constraints on Supernova Yields and Delay Times from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Mairéad E. Heiger, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua S. Speagle +6
The chemical abundances of a stellar population encode information about nucleosynthesis and its astrophysical sites, but this information is confounded by the specific star format…
A Spectroscopic Survey of Metal-Poor OB Stars in Local Dwarf Galaxy NGC 3109
Abby Mintz, O. Grace Telford, Evan N. Kirby +3
As JWST uncovers increasingly strong evidence that metal-poor, massive stars in early galaxies dominated reionization, observational constraints on the properties of such stars are…
An analytical galactic chemical evolution model with gas inflow and a terminal wind
Kateryna A. Kvasova, Evan N. Kirby
We present a new analytical galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model with gas inflow, internally caused outflow, and extra gas loss after a period of time. The latter mimics the ram…
Neutron-capture Element Abundances of 491 Stars in Milky Way Dwarf Satellite Galaxies from Medium-Resolution Spectra
Lauren E. Henderson, Evan N. Kirby, Mithi A. C. de los Reyes +2
The chemical compositions of evolved stars in Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) provide insight into the galaxy's past star formation and nucleosynthesis. Neutron-captu…
The Hubble Space Telescope Survey of M31 Satellite Galaxies IV. Survey Overview and Lifetime Star Formation Histories
A. Savino, D. R. Weisz, A. E. Dolphin +35
From orbits of HST imaging, we present deep homogeneous resolved star color-magnitude diagrams that reach the oldest main sequence turnoff and uniformly measured star forma…
