Disk Galaxy Models Driven by Stochastic Self-Propagating Star Formation

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2010
We present a model of chemical and spectrophotometric evolution of disk galaxies based on a stochastic self-propagating star formation scenario. The model incorporates galaxy formation through the process of accretion, chemical and photometric evolution ...

Leonessa: An Extremely Metal-poor Galaxy Undergoing Secular Chemical Evolution

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal
Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are systems with gas-phase oxygen abundances below ∼5% solar metallicity (12+log(O/H) ≤ 7.35). These galaxies populate the metal-poor end of the mass–metallicity and luminosity–metallicity relations (MZR and LZR ...

Element abundances in stars: connection with chemical evolution of a Galaxy

open access: greenOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Abundaces of 17 elements in the atmospheres of 100 stars belonging to different population of the Galaxy were determined. The comparing of the obtained results with the predictions of current chemical evolution models was made.

EMPRESS. XI. SDSS and JWST Search for Local and z ∼4–5 Extremely Metal-poor Galaxies (EMPGs): Clustering and Chemical Properties of Local EMPGs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We search for local extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs), selecting photometric candidates by broadband color excess and machine-learning techniques with the SDSS photometric data.

Nitrogen isotopes in the interstellar medium: A chemical journey across the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
One of the most important tools to investigate the chemical history of our Galaxy and our own Solar System is to measure the isotopic fractionation of chemical elements. This is the process that distributes the less abundant stable isotopes of an element

JWST/NIRSpec Measurements of Extremely Low Metallicities in High Equivalent Width Lyα Emitters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Deep Very Large Telescope/MUSE optical integral field spectroscopy has recently revealed an abundant population of ultra-faint galaxies ( M _UV ≈ −15; 0.01 L _⋆ ) at z = 2.9−6.7 due to their strong Ly α emission with no detectable continuum.

Evolution of the Mass–Metallicity Relation from Redshift z ≈ 8 to the Local Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A tight positive correlation between the stellar mass and the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies has been observed at low redshifts. The redshift evolution of this correlation can strongly constrain theories of galaxy evolution.

Galaxy formation with radiative and chemical feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Here we introduce GAMESH, a novel pipeline which implements self-consistent radiative and chemical feedback in a computational model of galaxy formation. By combining the cosmological chemical-evolution model GAMETE with the radiative transfer code CRASH,

The Origin of the Nuclear Star-forming Ring in NGC 3182

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
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 Fall of a Giant. Chemical evolution of Enceladus, alias the Gaia Sausage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We present the first chemical evolution model for Enceladus, alias the Gaia Sausage, to investigate the star formation history of one of the most massive satellites accreted by the Milky Way during a major merger event.
