The Mass Dependence of the Fundamental Metallicity Relation in Observations and Simulations

Laura Carnevale, Alex M. Garcia, Paul Torrey +8

The metal content of galaxies provides direct insight into the underlying physical processes that drive galaxy evolution. An example of this is the three-parameter relationship bet…

The reliability of gas-phase metallicities immediately adjacent to non-star-forming spaxels in MaNGA

Jillian M. Scudder, Aidan Khelil, Jonah Z. Ordower

In this work, we use gas phase metallicities calculated from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point (MaNGA) Data Release 17 (DR17) to assess th…

Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence

Sara L. Ellison, Leonardo Ferreira, Robert Bickley +6

Galaxy mergers have been shown to trigger AGN in the nearby universe, but the timescale over which this process happens remains unconstrained. The Multi-Model Merger Identifier (MU…

The molecular gas content throughout the low-z merger sequence

Mark T. Sargent, S. L. Ellison, J. T. Mendel +5

Exploiting IRAM 30m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50%, a mildly higher CO excitation, and standar…

Correction to Conversions between gas-phase metallicities in MaNGA

Jillian M. Scudder, Sara L. Ellison, Loubna El Meddah El Idrissi +1

We present a brief correction to Scudder et al. (2021) due to an error in the O3N2 based metallicity calibrations presented in that work. Conclusions are unchanged, but metallicity…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XIII: Understanding radial trends in star formation quenching via the relative roles of gas availability and star formation efficiency

Hsi-An Pan, Lihwai Lin, Sara L. Ellison +7

Star formation quenching is one of the key processes that shape the evolution of galaxies. In this study, we investigate the changes in molecular gas and star formation properties…
