Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and displays a number of morphological features that might be interpreted as an intermediate age merger remanent (∼3 Gyr).

Chemical Abundance Gradients in Open Clusters from the Gaia/LAMOST Sample

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Based on a large and homogeneous sample of 299 open clusters (OCs) from Gaia DR3 and large sky area multiobject fiber spectroscopic telescope DR11, we studied the abundance gradients of the α -elements Mg and Si, and the iron-peak elements Fe and Ni to ...

The Apache Point Observatory Extra-galactic Evolution Experiment (APOeGEE): Chemical Abundance Trends for Seven Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the APOGEE Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In addition to comprehensive surveys of the Milky Way (MW) bulge, disk, and halo, the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) project observed seven dwarf spheroidal satellites (dSphs) of the MW: Carina, Sextans, Sculptor, Draco, Ursa Minor ...

A Perspective on the Milky Way Bulge Bar as Seen from the Neutron-capture Elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of ∼2000 stars in the Galactic bulge bar spatially contained within ∣ X _Gal ∣ < 5 kpc, ∣ Y _Gal ∣ < 3.5 ...

Chemical Components in the Virgo Overdensity and Hercules–Aquila Cloud: Hints of More than One Merger Event in GSE-like Debris

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using elemental abundances for 1.26 million K giants in the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope DR8 value-added catalog, we analyze the chemical abundances of the Virgo Overdensity and Hercules–Aquila Cloud.

XMM Observations of Metal Abundances in Galaxy Clusters

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2011
The hot gas that fills the space between galaxies in clusters is rich in metals. Due to their large potential well, galaxy clusters accumulate metals over the whole history of the cluster, and retain important information on cluster formation and ...

Modeling the Ages and Chemical Abundances of Elliptical Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Spectroscopic studies of elliptical galaxies show that their stellar population ages, mean metallicity, and α enhancement traced by [Mg/Fe] all increase with galaxy stellar mass or velocity dispersion.
