Inferring gas-phase metallicity gradients of galaxies at the seeing limit: a forward modelling approach
We present a method to recover the gas-phase metallicity gradients from integral field spectroscopic (IFS) observations of barely resolved galaxies. We take a...
Inferring the 3D Shapes of Extremely Metal-poor Galaxies from Sets of Projected Shapes
The three-dimensional (3D) shape of a galaxy inevitably is tied to how it has formed and evolved and to its dark matter halo. Local extremely metal-poor...
Inferring the helium abundance of extragalactic globular clusters using integrated spectra
The leading method for the determination of relevant stellar population parameters of unresolved extragalactic Globular Clusters is through the study of their...
Inferring the mass of submillimetre galaxies by exploiting their gravitational magnification of background galaxies
Dust emission at submillimetre wavelengths allows us to trace the early phases of star formation in the Universe. In order to understand the physical processes...
Influence of baryons on the orbital structure of dark matter haloes
We explore the dynamical signatures imprinted by baryons on dark matter haloes during the formation process using the OverWhelmingly Large Simulations (OWLS), a...
Infrared High-resolution Integrated Light Spectral Analyses of M31 Globular Clusters from APOGEE
Chemical abundances are presented for 25 M31 globular clusters (GCs), based on moderately high resolution (R = 22,500) H-band integrated light (IL) spectra from...
Infrared mergers and infrared quasi-stellar objects with galactic winds - I. NGC 2623: nuclear outflow in a proto-elliptical candidate
We present the first results of a study of the morphology, kinematics and ionization structure of infrared (IR) mergers/quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) with...
