Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2005 Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

Sparks: The Magellan/FIRE Survey from Starburst to Post-starburst
The Astrophysical JournalRapid transitions from starburst to quiescence constitute a key evolutionary pathway in galaxy formation. Post-starburst galaxies trace this brief phase, exhibiting optical spectra dominated by intermediate-age stellar populations with strong Balmer ...

An Extremely Compact, Low-mass Galaxy on its Way to Quiescence at z = 5.2
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the discovery of a low-mass z = 5.200 ± 0.002 galaxy that is in the process of ceasing its star formation. The galaxy, MACS0417-z5BBG, is multiply imaged with magnification factors ∼40 by the galaxy cluster MACS J0417.5-1154, observed as part ...

A polarimetry study of starburst galaxies [PDF]
, 1996 Optical imaging polarimetry has been carried out for a number of starburst galaxies under various morphological classifications. In several cases, kpc-scale reflection nebulae are detected which arise from dust grains scattering starburst radiation ...

Cool Gas in the Circumgalactic Medium of Massive Post Starburst Galaxies
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsObserving the interplay between galaxies and their gaseous surroundings is crucial for understanding how galaxies form and evolve, including the roles of long-lived cool gas reservoirs, starburst and AGN driven outflows.

The Mitchell Spectrograph: Studying Nearby Galaxies with the VIRUS Prototype
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The Mitchell Spectrograph (a.k.a. VIRUS‐P) on the 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith telescope at McDonald Observatory is currently the largest field of view (FOV) integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph in the world (1.7′ × 1.7′). It was designed as a prototype for the highly replicable VIRUS spectrograph which consists of a mosaic of IFUs spread over a 16 ...

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.
