We study the scaling relations between gas-phase metallicity, stellar mass surface density
(Σ*), star formation rate surface density (ΣSFR), and molecular gas surface density () in local …

I review the spatially resolved spectroscopic properties of low-redshift star-forming galaxies
(and their retired counterparts) using results from the most recent optical integral field …

The gas metallicity distributions across individual galaxies and across galaxy samples can
teach us much about how galaxies evolve. Massive galaxies typically possess negative …

Nearby metal-poor starburst dwarf galaxies present a unique opportunity to probe the
physics of high-density star formation with a detail and sensitivity unmatched by any …

Starburst galaxies have elevated star formation rates (SFRs) for their stellar mass. In Ellison
et al., we used integral field unit maps of SFR surface density (ΣSFR) and stellar mass …

The morphology and structure of galaxies reflect their star formation and assembly histories.
We use the framework of mutual information (MI) to quantify the interdependence among …

The role of gas accretion in galaxy evolution is still a matter of debate. The presence of
inflows of metal-poor gas that trigger star formation bursts of low metallicity has been …

Chemical Cartography, or mapping, of our Galaxy has the potential to fully transform our
view of its structure and formation. In this work, we use chemical cartography to explore the …

While all models for the evolution of galaxies require the accretion of gas to sustain their
growth via on-going star formation, it has proven difficult to directly detect this inflowing …

Gas-phase metallicity gradients in galaxies provide important clues to those galaxies'
formation histories. Using SDSS-IV MaNGA data, we previously demonstrated that gas …
