Planetary Nebulae and the Ionization of the Interstellar Medium in Galaxies
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We discuss the role of planetary nebulae and their progeny in galaxy context in terms of ionization of the galaxy interstellar medium. This regards ionized gas outside the disk of spiral galaxies, the diffuse ionized medium in spiral galaxies, and the ...

The C/M Ratio of AGB Stars in the Local Group Galaxies
Universe, 2022 The number ratio of carbon-rich to oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars (the so-called C/M ratio) is closely related to the evolution environment of the host galaxy.

Galaxies, 2020 Luminous Blue Variables are massive evolved stars, here we introduce this outstanding class of objects. Described are the specific characteristics, the evolutionary state and what they are connected to other phases and types of massive stars. Our current

A Hierarchical Bayesian Framework for Inferring the Stellar Obliquity Distribution
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet’s orbital axis and its host star’s spin axis, traces the formation and evolution of a planetary system. In transiting-exoplanet observations, only the sky-projected stellar obliquity can be measured, but this

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the mass–metallicity relationship of star-forming galaxies by analyzing the absorption line spectra of ∼200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

A Study of Primordial Very Massive Star Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present new evolutionary models of primordial very massive stars with initial masses ranging from 100 to 1000 M _⊙ that extend from the main sequence to the onset of dynamical instability caused by the creation of electron–positron pairs during core C,

LATIS: The Stellar Mass–Metallicity Relation of Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 2.5
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation for 3491 star-forming galaxies at 2 ≲ z ≲ 3 using rest-frame far-ultraviolet spectra from the Ly α Tomography IMACS Survey (LATIS).

Distribution and Evolution of Metals in the Magneticum Simulations
Galaxies, 2017 Metals are ideal tracers of the baryonic cycle within halos. Their composition is a fossil record connecting the evolution of the various stellar components of galaxies to the interaction with the environment by in- and out-flows.

Unresolved versus resolved: testing the validity of young simple stellar population models with VLT/MUSE observations of NGC 3603 [PDF]
, 2016 CONTEXT. Stellar populations are the building blocks of galaxies including the Milky Way. The majority, if not all extragalactic studies are entangled with the use of stellar population models given the unresolved nature of their observation ...
