Understanding the spatial distribution of metals within galaxies allows us to study the
processes of chemical enrichment and mixing in the interstellar medium. In this work, we …

We use FIRE-2 simulations to examine 3D variations of gas-phase elemental abundances of
[O/H],[Fe/H], and [N/H] in 11 MW and M31-mass galaxies across their formation histories at …

The azimuthal variation of the H II region oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies is a key
observable for understanding how quickly oxygen produced by massive stars can be …

We examine the azimuthal variations in gas-phase metallicity profiles in simulated Milky
Way-mass disc galaxies from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) cosmological …

Spiral arms are the most characteristic features of disc galaxies, easily distinguishable due
to their association with ongoing star formation. However, the role of spiral structure in the …

Chemical abundance variations in the interstellar medium provide important information
about the galactic evolution, star-formation, and enrichment histories. Recent observations …

Context. The relation between the radial oxygen abundance distribution (gradient) and other
parameters of a galaxy such as mass, Hubble type, and a bar strength, remains unclear …

Star formation induced by a spiral shock wave, which in turn is generated by a spiral density
wave, produces an azimuthal age gradient across the spiral arm, which has opposite signs …

Off-centered spots of the enhanced gas velocity dispersion, σ, are revealed in some galaxies
from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey (MaNGA). Aiming to …

Historically, metallicity profiles of galaxies have been modelled using a radially symmetric,
two-parameter linear model, which reveals that most galaxies are more metal-rich in their …
