Chemical abundances in active galaxies [PDF]
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]
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]
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 ...

The abundance and radial distribution of satellite galaxies [PDF]
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.

Abundance ratios in dwarf elliptical galaxies [PDF]
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 ...

Abundance Ratios in Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
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.

Dust Formation in a Galaxy with Primitive Abundances [PDF]
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.

The abundance of dark galaxies [PDF]
We show that gas in a large fraction of low mass dark matter halos may form Toomre stable disks, if angular momentum is conserved when the gas contracts. Such halos would be stable to star formation and therefore remain dark. This may potentially explain the discrepancy between the predicted and observed number of dwarf satellites in the Local Group ...
