The Andromeda Galaxy’s Last Major Merger: Constraints from the survey of Planetary Nebulae
(The International Astronomical Union, 2023-05-04)
The Andromeda galaxy (M 31) has experienced a tumultuous merger history as evidenced by the many substructures present in its inner halo. We use planetary nebulae (PNe) as chemodynamic tracers to shed light on the recent ...
The survey of planetary nebulae in Andromeda (M31). IV. Radial oxygen and argon abundance gradients of the thin and thicker disc
(2022-12-01)
We obtain a magnitude-limited sample of Andromeda (M 31) disc PNe with chemical abundance estimated through the direct detection of the [O III] 4363 Å line. This leads to 205 and 200 PNe with oxygen and argon abundances, ...
The COMBS Survey -- III. The Chemodynamical Origins of Metal-Poor Bulge Stars
(2022-01-01)
The characteristics of the stellar populations in the Galactic Bulge inform and constrain the Milky Way's formation and evolution. The metal-poor population is particularly important in light of cosmological simulations, ...
The COMBS survey I : Chemical Origins of Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Bulge
(2019-09-01)
Chemistry and kinematic studies can determine the origins of stellar population across the Milky Way. The metallicity distribution function of the bulge indicates that it comprises multiple populations, the more metal-poor ...
