Stellar Populations with MaNGA: Iron Kink and Nitrogen Fuzz

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent analysis of 2968 MaNGA early-type galaxies has yielded two notable trends with velocity dispersion ( σ ) not previously discussed in the literature. First, Fe abundance rises with σ but only until σ  ≈ 100 km s ^−1 , after which it falls.

Investigating the Lower Limit of Metallicity for the Galactic Thin Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We explore the metal-poor regime of the Galactic disk on the distribution of stars in the [ α /M]– V _ϕ plane, to identify the most metal-poor thin disk (MPTnD) stars belonging to the low- α sequence.

Exploring the Relationship between Stellar Mass, Metallicity, and Star Formation Rate at z ∼ 2.3 in KBSS-MOSFIRE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The metal enrichment of a galaxy is determined by the cycle of baryons in outflows, inflows, and star formation. The relative contribution and timescale of each process sets the relationship between stellar mass, metallicity, and the star formation rate (

Blue Supergiants in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101: Comparison with H II Region Chemical Abundances, Spectroscopic Distance, and an Independent Determination of the Hubble Constant

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a quantitative spectroscopic study of 13 blue supergiant stars in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101, based on data obtained with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer available at the Keck I telescope.
