1 v 1 1 A ug 1 99 8 The Recent Star Formation in Sextans A
We investigate the relationship between the spatial distributions of stellar populations and of neutral and ionized gas in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans A. This galaxy is currently experiencing a burst of localized star formation, the trigger of which is unknown. We have resolved various populations of stars via deep UBV (RI)C imaging over an area with diameter ∼ 5.3. We have c...
متن کاملDeep Hst Imaging of Sextans A. Iii. the Star Formation History
– 2 – We present a measurement of the star formation history of Sextans A, based on WFPC2 photometry that is 50% complete to V = 27.5 (M V ∼ +1.9) and I = 27.0. The star formation history and chemical enrichment history have been measured through modeling of the CMD. We find evidence for increased reddening in the youngest stellar populations and an intrinsic metallicity spread at all ages. Sex...
متن کاملHot Dust and PAH Emission at Low Metallicity: A Spitzer Survey of Local Group and Other Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
We present Spitzer Space Telescope 4.5 and 8.0 μm imaging of 15 Local Group and nearby dwarf galaxies. We find that the diffuse 8 micron emission is spatially correlated with regions of active star formation in these spatially resolved galaxies. Our sample spans a range of more than one dex in nebular metallicity and over three orders of magnitude in current star formation rate, allowing us to ...
متن کاملTRIGGERED STAR FORMATION AND THE CREATION OF THE SUPERGIANT H i SHELL IN IC 2574
Based on deep imaging from the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we present new evidence that stellar feedback created a ∼1 kpc supergiant H i shell (SGS) and triggered star formation (SF) around its rim in the M81 Group dwarf irregular galaxy IC 2574. Using photometry of the resolved stars from the HST images, we measure the star formation history of a region...
متن کاملThe Star Formation History of the Hubble Sequence: Spatially Resolved Colour Distributions of Intermediate Redshift Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field
We analyse the spatially resolved colours of distant galaxies of known redshift in the Hubble Deep Field, using a new technique based on matching resolved four-band colour data to the predictions of evolutionary synthesis models. Given some simplifying assumptions we demonstrate how our technique is capable of probing the evolutionary history of high redshift systems noting the specific advanta...
