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

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.

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.

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

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 ...

ChemicalUniverseMachine. I. Uncovering the Cosmic Evolution of Metals in the Galaxy–Interstellar Medium–Circumgalactic Medium Ecosystem

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an empirical chemical evolution model that explains the distribution of metals in the interstellar medium (ISM) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies based on the U niverse M achine and N eutral U niverse M achine models in the ...

Resolved Ages and Stellar Metallicities in Progenitors of Milky Way Analogs: A Closer Look at Their Star Formation Histories Since z = 5

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the evolution of the resolved mass-weighted age, stellar metallicity, and specific star formation rate (sSFR) of 872 Milky Way analog (MWA) progenitors up to redshift z = 5 from the Canadian Unbiased Cluster Survey.

Figuring Out Gas and Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE). VIII. Complex and Stochastic Metallicity Gradients at z > 2

The Astrophysical Journal
Gas-phase metallicity gradients are a crucial element in understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. We use the FOGGIE simulations to study the metallicity gradients (∇ Z ) of six Milky Way–like galaxies throughout their evolution.

Revisiting the Fundamental Metallicity Relation with Observation and Simulation

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The gas-phase metallicity of galaxies is regulated by multiple astrophysical processes, which makes it a crucial diagnostic of galaxy formation and evolution.
