On the formation of star-forming galaxies having anomalously low-metallicity regions: the role of galaxy interaction and CGM/IGM accretion
Yibo Cao, Zhizheng Pan
Gas accretion from both the circum-galactic medium (CGM)/inter-galatic medium (IGM) and interacting companion galaxy can dilute the gas phase metallicity of a galaxy. However, thei…

We carry out deep imaging of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, Bootes III and Draco, with WFST as one pilot observing program to demonstrate the capability of WFST. Combining catal…
Searching for Nearby Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in the COSMOS Field
Dongdong Shi, XianZhong Zheng, Zhizheng Pan +5
It remains challenging to systematically survey nearby diffuse dwarf galaxies and address the formation mechanism of this population distinguishing from regular ones. We carry out…
Understanding the Universal Dust Attenuation Scaling Relation of Star-Forming Galaxies

Man Qiao, Xian Zhong Zheng, Antonios Katsianis +11
Dust attenuation in star-forming galaxies (SFGs), as parameterized by the infrared excess (IRX ), is found to be tightly correlated with star formatio…
Local star-forming galaxies build up central mass concentration most actively near

Run Wen, FangXia An, Xian Zhong Zheng +13
We present an analysis of physical properties of 34 [O III] emission-line galaxies (ELGs) at z=3.2540.029 in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS). These ELGs are sele…
Submillimetre galaxies in two massive protoclusters at z = 2.24: witnessing the enrichment of extreme starbursts in the outskirts of HAE density peaks
Yuheng Zhang, Xian Zhong Zheng, Dong Dong Shi +18
Submillimetre galaxies represent a rapid growth phase of both star formation and massive galaxies. Mapping SMGs in galaxy protoclusters provides key insights into where and how the…
