Modeling the Ages and Chemical Abundances of Elliptical Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
Spectroscopic studies of elliptical galaxies show that their stellar population ages, mean metallicity, and α enhancement traced by [Mg/Fe] all increase with galaxy stellar mass or velocity dispersion.

ZFOURGE/CANDELS: ON THE EVOLUTION OF M* GALAXY PROGENITORS FROM z = 3 TO 0.5 [PDF]

, 2014
Galaxies with stellar masses near M* contain the majority of stellar mass in the universe, and are therefore of special interest in the study of galaxy evolution. The Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) have present-day stellar masses near M*, at 5 × 1010

Spatial Variations of Stellar Elemental Abundances in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-mass Galaxies: Patterns Today Mostly Reflect Those at Formation

The Astrophysical Journal
Spatial patterns of stellar elemental abundances encode rich information about a galaxy’s formation history. We analyze the radial, vertical, and azimuthal variations of metals in stars, both today and at formation, in the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations

The evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8

, 2008
We present recent results on the evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8. Results are based on the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) - an ESO large programme aimed at the study of ...

Pairwise dwarf galaxy formation and galaxy downsizing: some clues from extremely metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies

, 2011
Some of the extremely metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies (XBCDs) in the nearby universe form galaxy pairs with remarkably similar properties. This fact points to an intriguing degree of synchronicity in the formation history of these binary dwarf ...

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

The 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 (

A Perspective on the Milky Way Bulge Bar as Seen from the Neutron-capture Elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE

The Astrophysical Journal
This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of ∼2000 stars in the Galactic bulge bar spatially contained within ∣ X _Gal ∣ < 5 kpc, ∣ Y _Gal ∣ < 3.5 ...

Revealing the Impact of Critical Stellar Central Density on Galaxy Quenching through Cosmic Time

The Astrophysical Journal
In a previous work, we investigated the structural and environmental dependence on quenching in the nearby universe. In this work, we extend our investigations to higher redshifts by combining galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and The FourStar ...
