The 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.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

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

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

Disk Galaxy Models Driven by Stochastic Self-Propagating Star Formation
Open 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 ...

On the α/Fe Bimodality of the M31 Disks
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 An outstanding question is whether the α /Fe bimodality exists in disk galaxies other than in the Milky Way. Here we present a bimodality using our state-of-the-art galactic chemical evolution models that can explain various observations in the Andromeda

A High-precision Survey of the D/H Ratio in the Nearby Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present high signal-to-noise ratio measurements of the H i Ly α absorption line toward 16 Galactic targets that are at distances between approximately 190 and 2200 pc, all beyond the wall of the Local Bubble.
