Modeling the panchromatic spectral energy distributions of galaxies

C Conroy - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2013 - annualreviews.org
The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies are shaped by nearly every physical
property of the system, including the star-formation history, metal content, abundance …

Stellar population inference with Prospector

BD Johnson, J Leja, C Conroy… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Inference of the physical properties of stellar populations from observed photometry and
spectroscopy is a key goal in the study of galaxy evolution. In recent years, the quality and …

Observational constraints on stellar feedback in dwarf galaxies

MLM Collins, JI Read - Nature astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
Feedback to the interstellar medium from ionizing radiation, stellar winds and supernovae is
central to regulating star formation in galaxies. Owing to their low mass (< 109 solar …

The observed properties of dwarf galaxies in and around the Local Group

AW McConnachie - The Astronomical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Positional, structural, and dynamical parameters for all dwarf galaxies in and around the

The universal stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation for dwarf galaxies

EN Kirby, JG Cohen, P Guhathakurta… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present spectroscopic metallicities of individual stars in seven gas-rich dwarf irregular
galaxies (dIrrs), and we show that dIrrs obey the same mass–metallicity relation as the dwarf …

The star formation histories of local group dwarf galaxies. I. Hubble space telescope/wide field planetary camera 2 observations

galaxies based on color–magnitude diagram (CMD) analysis from archival Hubble Space …

Updated nearby galaxy catalog

ID Karachentsev, DI Makarov… - The Astronomical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates

Breathing FIRE: how stellar feedback drives radial migration, rapid size fluctuations, and population gradients in low-mass galaxies

K El-Badry, A Wetzel, M Geha, PF Hopkins… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the effects of stellar feedback and bursty star formation on low-mass galaxies

A stellar mass threshold for quenching of field galaxies

M Geha, MR Blanton, R Yan… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We demonstrate that dwarf galaxies (10 7< M stellar< 10 9 M☉,− 12> M r>− 18) with no
active star formation are extremely rare (< 0.06%) in the field. Our sample is based on the …

Making Galaxies In a Cosmological Context: the need for early stellar feedback
