We investigate the mass–metallicity relationship of star-forming galaxies by analyzing the absorption line spectra of ∼200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

Dwarf galaxy populations in present-day galaxy clusters – I. Abundances and red fractions [PDF]
We compare the galaxy population in the Virgo, Fornax, Coma and Perseus cluster to a state-of-the-art semi-analytic model, focusing on the regime of dwarf galaxies with luminosities from approximately 108 to 109 L⊙.

An X-ray Mini-survey of Nearby Edge-on Starburst Galaxies II. The Question of Metal Abundance [PDF]
(abbreviated) We have undertaken an X-ray survey of a far-infrared flux limited sample of seven nearby edge-on starburst galaxies. Here, we examine the two X-ray-brightest sample members NGC 253 and M 82 in a self-consistent manner, taking account of the

The Evolution of the Elemental Abundances in the Gas and Dust Phases of the Galaxy [PDF]
We present models for the evolution of the elemental abundances in the gas and dust phases of the interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy by generalizing standard models for its dynamical and chemical evolution.

The Origin of the Nuclear Star-forming Ring in NGC 3182
We investigate the stellar and ionized gas kinematics, and stellar populations of NGC 3182 galaxy using integral field spectrograph data from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey. We try to clarify the nature of the ring structure in NGC 3182.

The Chemodynamics of the Stellar Populations in M31 from APOGEE Integrated-light Spectroscopy
We present an analysis of nearly 1000 near-infrared, integrated-light spectra from APOGEE in the inner ∼7 kpc of M31. We utilize full-spectrum fitting with A-LIST simple stellar population spectral templates that represent a population of stars with the ...

Thin disc, Thick Disc and Halo in a Simulated Galaxy [PDF]
Within a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, we form a disc galaxy with sub- components which can be assigned to a thin stellar disc, thick disk, and a low mass stellar halo via a chemical decomposition.

The Stellar Abundances for Galactic Archaeology (SAGA) data base - II. Implications for mixing and nucleosynthesis in extremely metal-poor stars and chemical enrichment of the Galaxy [PDF]
We discuss the characteristics of known extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the Galaxy using the Stellar Abundances for Galactic Archaeology (SAGA) database (Suda et al. 2008, PASJ, 60, 1159).

Abundance gradients in elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Abundance gradients predicted by dissipative models of galaxy formation are studied with the aid of mass models of spherical galaxies obeying the Sersic R 1=n law in projection. The link between metallicity and stellar binding energies and angular momenta is derived from the "concentration model" by Lynden-Bell (1975) with the addition of a terminal ...
