Spectroscopic characterization of the stellar content of ultra-diffuse galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Understanding the peculiar properties of Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) via spectroscopic analysis is a challenging task requiring very deep observations and exquisite data reduction. In this work we perform one of the most complete characterisations of the stellar component of UDGs to date using deep optical spectroscopic data from OSIRIS at GTC.

Ionized Gas and Stellar Content in a Sample of HII Galaxies [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989
AbstractWe present the first results of an extensive study of the stellar content and the ionized gas structure for a sample of BCGs. Deep broad (BVRI Johnson) and narrow (Hα) CCD images have been obtained for about 25 galaxies. For a subset of objects, selected on the basis of their apparent structure, long-slit spectroscopy has also been obtained in ...

The Stellar Content of the Local Group Dwarf Galaxy Phoenix

The Astronomical Journal, 1999
We present new deep $VI$ ground-based photometry of the Local Group dwarf galaxy Phoenix. Our results confirm that this galaxy is mainly dominated by red stars, with some blue plume stars indicating recent (100 Myr old) star formation in the central part of the galaxy.

From Carbon to Cobalt: Chemical Compositions and Ages of z ∼ 0.7 Quiescent Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present elemental abundance patterns (C, N, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Co, and Ni) for a population of 135 massive quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 0.7 with ultra-deep rest-frame optical spectroscopy drawn from the LEGA-C survey.

Revisiting the Milky Way stellar long bar and the 3 kpc arm★

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. One of the most difficult and unexplored regions of the Milky Way is the highly extincted in-plane central region within the Galactic coordinates 10◦ ≲ |ℓ| ≲ 30◦, |b| ≲ 3◦, where we have the long-bar and 3 kpc arm with intermediate-age stellar ...

Vertical Density Distribution of the Galaxy from Star Count Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2002
The five space density distribution D(z) with distance perpendicular to the Galactic plane were combined. The scale heights and the local densities at z = 0 of the thin disk, thick disk, and the halo components were estimated from the nonlinear least ...

Solvent‐Guided Chiral Assemblies and Chemical Doping of OEG‐Functionalized Conjugated Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Solvent‐dependent aggregation pathways dictate whether conjugated polymers form chiral lyotropic liquid‐crystalline assemblies or achiral packed aggregates. Mapping solvent‐controlled β₁ and β2 states reveals that weaker backbone association favors β₁ aggregates and reorganizable twisted mesophases, whereas stronger backbone association favors β2 ...

Spiral arms across stellar populations in simulations via the local dimension method

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The origin and nature of spiral arms remain unclear. Star-forming regions and young stars are generally strongly associated with the spiral structure, but there are few quantitative predictions from simulations about the contribution of stars of
