Stellar Populations of the Galactic Disk: Metallicity Distribution and Kinematics

Open Astronomy, 2003
Metallicities and distances have been determined from Vilnius photometry for an in situ sample of nearly 650 stars in eight proper-motion fields at high Galactic latitudes.

Hot Stars in Stellar Populations of Galaxies

Galaxies
Star-forming galaxies are hosts of dominant populations of recently formed, hot, massive stars, which give rise to conspicuous stellar spectral features and provide the ionizing fluxes. Strong outflows of these stars shape their properties.

A Multiwavelength Classification and Study of Red Supergiant Candidates in NGC 6946

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have combined resolved stellar photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Spitzer, and Gaia to identify red supergiant (RSG) candidates in NGC 6946, based on their colors, proper motions, visual morphologies, and spectral energy distributions.

Origins of the Evil Eye: M64's Stellar Halo Reveals the Recent Accretion of an SMC-mass Satellite

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
M64, often called the “Evil Eye” galaxy, is unique among local galaxies. Beyond its dramatic, dusty nucleus, it also hosts an outer gas disk that counter-rotates relative to its stars.

Multiple Stellar Populations at Less Evolved Stages. III. A Possible Helium Spread in NGC 2210

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Helium variations are common features of globular clusters (GCs) with multiple stellar populations. All the formation scenarios predict that secondary population stars are enhanced in helium, but the exact helium content depends on the polluters ...

The Masses of Supernova Remnant Progenitors in M33

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using resolved optical stellar photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury Triangulum Extended Region survey, we measured the star formation history near the position of 85 supernova remnants (SNRs) in M33.

Internal kinematics of stellar populations in Terzan 5 [PDF]

, 2022
openGlobular clusters are stellar systems populated by up to millions of old stars very tightly gravitationally bound. Their absolute ages provide lower limits to the age of the Galactic bulge and the Universe, that can be compared with the one obtained ...

Light Elements in the Universe

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Due to their production sites, as well as to how they are processed and destroyed in stars, the light elements are excellent tools to investigate a number of crucial issues in modern astrophysics: from stellar structure and non-standard processes at work

Galaxy masses [PDF]

, 2014
Galaxy masses play a fundamental role in our understanding of structure formation models. This review addresses the variety and reliability of mass estimators that pertain to stars, gas, and dark matter.
