The Cosmic Chemical Evolution Histories of Spiral Galaxies by Greener, Michael John

“…In order to address this question, we first analyse the stellar metallicity distributions of a large sample of MaNGA galaxies, with a view to addressing the "G-dwarf problem", which essentially states that the small number of low-metallicity G-dwarf stars observed in the Milky Way is inconsistent with the simplest picture of the Galaxy forming from a "closed box" of gas. …”

The interstellar medium in high-redshift submillimeter galaxies as probed by infrared spectroscopy by Wardlow, J.L., Cooray, A., Osage, Willow, Bourne, Nathan, Clements, David, Dannerbauer, Helmut, Dunne, Loretta, Dye, S., Eales, S., Farrah, Duncan, Furlanetto, C., Ibar, E., Ivison, Rob J., Maddox, S., Michałowski, Michał M., Riechers, Dominik, Rigopoulou, D., Scott, Douglas, Smith, M.W.L., Wang, Lingyu, van der Werf, Paul, Valiante, Elisabetta, Valtchanov, I., Verma, Aprajita

“…However, it is unclear whether they are true analogs of local ULIRGs or whether the mode of their star formation is more similar to that in local disk galaxies. We target these questions by using Herschel-PACS to examine the conditions in the interstellar medium (ISM) in far-infrared luminous SMGs at –4. …”
