What Does the LMC Look Like? It Depends on [M/H] and Age

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We offer a new way to look at the LMC through stellar mono-abundance and mono-age mono-abundance maps. These maps are based on ≳500,000 member stars with estimates of [M/H] ( σ _[M/H]  ~ 0.17) and age $({\sigma }_{{\rm{log}}\tau }\unicode{x0007E}0.15$ ),

Detection of Metal Enrichment by SN 2011jm in NGC 4809

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Cosmic metals are believed to originate from stellar and supernovae (SNe) nucleosynthesis, dispersed into the interstellar medium (ISM) through stellar winds and supernova explosions.

A γ-Ray-emitting Collisional Ring Galaxy System in Our Galactic Neighborhood

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The astrophysical γ -ray photons carry the signatures of the violent phenomena happening on various astronomical scales in our Universe. This includes supernova remnants, pulsars, and pulsar wind nebulae in the Galactic environment and extragalactic ...

Measuring Resolved Star Formation Histories from High-precision Color–Magnitude Diagrams with StarFormationHistories.jl

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Understanding how and when galaxies formed stars over the history of the Universe is fundamental to the study of galaxy evolution. The star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies in the local Universe can be measured with high precision using deep ...

Pavo: Stellar Feedback in Action in a Low-mass Dwarf Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
MeerKAT observations of the recently discovered, extremely low mass galaxy Pavo have revealed a neutral gas (H i ) reservoir that was undetected in archival H i single dish data.

STEP survey

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer a unique laboratory for studying galaxy interaction and the evolution of dwarf galaxies. The star formation history (SFH), which traces when and how stars formed, provides powerful constraints for the dynamical ...

Mock Observations: Morphological Analysis of Galaxies in TNG100 Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In this study, we investigate the morphology of galaxies in the TNG100 simulation by applying mock observation techniques and compare the results with the observational data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

COSMIC-L: A Photometric Catalog of Observed Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The Magellanic Clouds are two nearby dwarf irregular galaxies, the study of which can help us in understanding galaxy and stellar evolution. In particular, the Large Magellanic Cloud, the larger one, contains approximately 30 billion stars at various ...
