Spatially resolved direct method metallicity in a high-redshift analogue local galaxy: temperature structure impact on metallicity gradients

Alex J. Cameron, Tiantian Yuan, Michele Trenti +2

We investigate how HII region temperature structure assumptions affect "direct-method" spatially-resolved metallicity observations using multispecies auroral lines in a galaxy from…

Understanding Galaxy Evolution through Emission Lines

Lisa J. Kewley, David C. Nicholls, Ralph S. Sutherland

We review the use of emission-lines for understanding galaxy evolution, focusing on excitation source, metallicity, ionization parameter, ISM pressure and electron density. We show…

Theoretical ISM pressure and electron density diagnostics for local and high-redshift galaxies

Lisa J. Kewley, David C. Nicholls, Ralph S. Sutherland +4

We derive new self-consistent theoretical UV, optical, and IR diagnostics for the ISM pressure and electron density in the ionized nebulae of star-forming galaxies. Our UV diagnost…

Rest-frame UV and optical emission line diagnostics of ionised gas properties: a test case in a star-forming knot of a lensed galaxy at z~1.7

Ayan Acharyya, Lisa J. Kewley, Jane R. Rigby +7

We examine the diagnostic power of rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) nebular emission lines, and compare them to more commonly used rest-frame optical emission lines, using the test case…

Comparison of Theoretical Starburst Photoionisation Models for Optical Diagnostics

Joshua J. D'Agostino, Lisa J. Kewley, Brent Groves +5

We study and compare different examples of stellar evolutionary synthesis input parameters used to produce photoionisation model grids using the MAPPINGS V modelling code. The aim…

Calibrating Interstellar Abundances using SNR Radiative Shocks

Michael A. Dopita, Ivo R. Seitenzahl, Ralph S. Sutherland +4

Using integral field data we extract the optical spectra of shocked interstellar clouds in Kepler's supernova remnant located in the inner regions of our Galaxy, as well as in the…
