A sub-kiloparsec scale view of star formation in M31
Lewis, AlexiaThis dissertation examines the properties of star formation in the nearest large Milky Way- like galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Using resolved star data from the Hubble Space Telescope obtained as part of the Panchromatic ... -
Building galaxy models with self-consistent prescriptions for stellar and nebular emission
Byler, EleanorA galaxy's spectrum is the sum of light emitted by stars and gas, modulated by intervening dust. Translating between the observed flux from galaxies and meaningful astrophysical quantities relies on ``stellar population ... -
Empirical Approaches to the Near-Infrared Tip of the Red Giant Branch
Durbin, MeredithThe infrared tip of the red giant branch (IR-TRGB) is a powerful tool for measuring distances to galaxies in the local Universe. However, establishing its absolute "anchor" with sufficient precision and accuracy has proved ... -
Observational Constraints on Models of Rapidly Evolving Luminous Stars
Rosenfield, Philip Arthur (2014-02-24)Resolved stellar populations in galaxies are excellent laboratories for testing our understanding of galaxy formation, integrated colors and luminosities, supernova progenitor masses, and energy input from stellar feedback. ... -
Resolved Stars' Insights into Galaxy Physics
Choi, YumiThe history of a galaxy is encoded in its individual stars, and resolved stellar populations in nearby galaxies provide a wealth of information about star formation history (SFH), its relation to the interstellar medium, ... -
Using Metals and Stars to Constrain Galaxies' Past Gaseous Inflows and Outflows
Telford, Olivia GraceAs galaxies evolve, they must enrich and exchange gas with the surrounding medium, but the timing of these processes and how much gas is involved remain poorly constrained by observations. In this thesis, I use observations ...
