Chemical abundances in active galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has proved to be a powerful resource for understanding the physical properties and chemical composition of star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. The SDSS population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains as of yet less explored in this capacity.

The evolution of the oxygen abundance in the Galaxy [PDF]
New Astronomy Reviews, 2001 AbstractWe discuss the evolution of the [O/Fe] as a function of [Fe/H] in the Galaxy. In particular, we discuss the influence of different stellar yields as well as different SN (II, I) rates on the [O/Fe] ratio. Possible explanations for the steep rise of the [O/Fe] ratio at low metallicities, as indicated by recent observations, are critically ...

Chemical abundances in Seyfert galaxies – VIII. Argon abundance estimates [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT For the first time, the argon abundance relative to hydrogen abundance (Ar/H) in the narrow line region of a sample of Seyfert 2 nuclei has been derived. In view of this, optical narrow emission line intensities of a sample of 64 local Seyfert 2 nuclei (z < 0.25) taken from Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 and measured by ...

Abundance ratios in dwarf elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We determine abundance ratios of 37 dwarf ellipticals (dEs) in the nearby Virgo cluster. This sample is representative of the early-type population of galaxies in the absolute magnitude range -19.0 < Mr < -16.0. We analyze their absorption line-strength indices by means of index-index diagrams and scaling relations and use the stellar population ...

Dust Formation in a Galaxy with Primitive Abundances [PDF]
Science, 2009 Interstellar dust plays a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. It governs the chemistry and physics of the interstellar medium. In the local universe, dust forms primarily in the ejecta from stars, but its composition and origin in galaxies at very early times remain controversial.

On the use of sulphur as a tracer for abundances in galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 Abstract 2+We present a methodology for the use of sulphur as global metallicity tracer in galaxies, allowing performing a complete abundance analysis using only the red-to-near-infrared spectral region. We have applied it to a compilation of high-quality data split into two samples: H ii regions (DHR) in spiral and irregular galaxies ...

Abundance Ratios in Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016 AbstractThe aim of this study is to determine abundance ratios and star formation histories (SFH) of dwarf ellipticals in the nearby Virgo cluster. We perform a stellar population analysis of 39 dEs and study them using index-index and scaling relations. We find an unusual behaviour where [Na/Fe] is under-abundant w.r.t.

The abundance and radial distribution of satellite galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005 Using detailed mock galaxy redshift surveys (MGRSs) we investigate the abundance and radial distribution of satellite galaxies. The mock surveys are constructed using the conditional luminosity function (CLF), and are compared against data from the 2dFGRS.
