Exploring the Star Formation Histories of Galaxies in Different Environments from MaNGA Spectra

Maria Argudo-Fernández, Médéric Boquien, Shiyin Shen +4

The star formation history (SFH) of galaxies allow us to investigate when galaxies formed their stars and assembled their mass. We can constrain the SFH with high level of precisio…

Stellar population synthesis of galaxies with chemical evolution model

Shiyin Shen, Jun Yin

The derivation of accurate stellar populations of galaxies is a non-trivial task because of the well-known age-metallicity degeneracy. We aim to break this degeneracy by invoking a…

The K giant stars from the LAMOST survey data II: the Hercules stream in radial migration

Chao Liu, Xiao-Yan Chen, Jun Yin +11

We estimate the age for the individual stars located at the lower part of the red giant branch from the LAMOST DR2 K giant sample. Taking into account the selection effects and the…

The Most Massive Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster

Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Elisa Toloba +15

We report on the properties of the most massive ultra-compact dwarf galaxy (UCD) in the nearby Virgo Cluster of galaxies using imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey…

An Apparent Redshift Dependence of Quasar Continuum: Implication for Cosmic Dust Extinction?

Xiaoyi Xie, Shiyin Shen, Zhengyi Shao +1

We investigate the luminosity and redshift dependence of the quasar continuum by means of composite spectrum using a large non-BAL radio-quiet quasar sample drawn from the Sloan Di…

The Evolution and Star Formation History of M33

Xiaoyu Kang, Ruixiang Chang, Jun Yin +4

We construct a parameterized model to explore the main properties of the star formation history of M33. We assume that the disk originates and grows by the primordial gas infall an…
