From relics to stripped systems: the environmental origin of compact galaxies

Guangwen Chen, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri, Carlos del Burgo +1

Compact galaxies represent a key population for understanding galaxy evolution, but the relative role of internal structure and environment in shaping their origin remains unclear.…

A Strong Stellar Age-Metallicity Gradient Relation in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies Driven by Stellar Migration and Environmental Quenching

Tie Li, Hong-Xin Zhang, Wenhe Lyu +16

Stellar metallicity gradients () provide a fossil record of the assembly history of galaxies. We present an analysis of for 90 nearby low-mass galaxies u…

Transformer-Based Source Detection and Morphological Classification in LOFAR Deep-Field Continuum Images

Guangwen Chen, Kristian Z. Adami, John Abela +7

Radio source detection and morphological classification are fundamental for exploiting the scientific potential of modern radio continuum surveys. However, the rapidly increasing d…

The First Systematic Survey of Stellar Halos in High-Inclination Galaxies Reveals Unusually Quiescent Merger Histories of Nearby Galaxies

Bojun Tao, Hong-Xin Zhang, Wenting Wang +8

Stellar halos are the only major stellar component of disk galaxies that lack systematic observational characterization, yet they encode critical information about galaxy merger hi…

A negative stellar massgaseous metallicity gradient relation of dwarf galaxies modulated by stellar feedback

Tie Li, Hong-Xin Zhang, Wenhe Lyu +16

Baryonic cycling is reflected in the spatial distribution of metallicity within galaxies, yet gas-phase metallicity distribution and its connection with other properties of dwarf g…

Galaxy mass dependence of metal-enrichment of nuclear star clusters

Wenhe Lyu, Hong-Xin Zhang, Sanjaya Paudel +5

Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are commonly found in galaxy centers, but their dominant formation mechanisms remain elusive. We perform a consistent analysis of stellar populations o…
