Evidence for the Accretion of Gas in Star-Forming Galaxies: High N/O Abundances in Regions of Anomalously-Low Metallicity

Yuanze Luo, Timothy Heckman, Hsiang-Chih Hwang +11

While all models for the evolution of galaxies require the accretion of gas to sustain their growth via on-going star formation, it has proven difficult to directly detect this inf…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Refining Strong Line Diagnostic Classifications Using Spatially Resolved Gas Dynamics

David R. Law, Xihan Ji, Francesco Belfiore +8

We use the statistical power of the MaNGA integral-field spectroscopic galaxy survey to improve the definition of strong line diagnostic boundaries used to classify gas ionization…

Are the Milky Way and Andromeda unusual? A comparison with Milky Way and Andromeda Analogs

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Gail Zasowski, Jeffrey Newman +10

Our Milky Way provides a unique test case for galaxy evolution models, thanks to our privileged position within the Milky Way's disc. This position also complicates comparisons bet…

The Close Binary Fraction as a Function of Stellar Parameters in APOGEE: A Strong Anti-Correlation With Abundances

Christine N. Mazzola, Carles Badenes, Maxwell Moe +20

We use observations from the APOGEE survey to explore the relationship between stellar parameters and multiplicity. We combine high-resolution repeat spectroscopy for 41,363 dwarf…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Spatially resolved star formation in barred galaxies

Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Michael Merrifield +8

Bars inhabit the majority of local-Universe disk galaxies and may be important drivers of galaxy evolution through the redistribution of gas and angular momentum within disks. We i…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: spatially resolved dust attenuation in spiral galaxies

Michael J. Greener, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Michael R. Merrifield +9

Dust attenuation in star-forming spiral galaxies affects stars and gas in different ways due to local variations in dust geometry. We present spatially resolved measurements of dus…
