ABSTRACT The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in
cosmological galaxy formation simulations. Previous FIRE simulations used an identical …

The distribution of metals within a galaxy traces the baryon cycle and the buildup of galactic
disks, but the detailed gas phase metallicity distribution remains poorly sampled. We have …

The spatial distribution of metals reflects, and can be used to constrain, the processes of
chemical enrichment and mixing. Using PHANGS-MUSE optical integral field spectroscopy …

In this paper we discuss and confront recent results on metallicity variations in the local
interstellar medium, obtained from observations of H ii regions and neutral clouds of the …

We present a new model for the evolution of gas phase metallicity gradients in galaxies from
first principles. We show that metallicity gradients depend on four ratios that collectively …

In a hierarchical Universe clusters grow via the accretion of galaxies from the field, groups
and even other clusters. As this happens, galaxies can lose and/or consume their gas …

The distributions of a galaxy's gas and stars in chemical space encode a tremendous
amount of information about that galaxy's physical properties and assembly history …

Self-gravity and stellar feedback are capable of driving turbulence and transporting mass
and angular momentum in disk galaxies, but the balance between them is not well …

We investigate the impact of bursts in star formation on the predictions of one-zone chemical
evolution models, adopting oxygen (O), iron (Fe), and strontium (Sr), as representative α …

We analyse the spatial statistics of the 2D gas-phase oxygen abundance distributions in a
sample of 219 local galaxies. We introduce a new adaptive binning technique to enhance …
