Low-metallicity galaxies may provide key insights into the evolutionary history of galaxies. Galaxies with strong emission lines and high equivalent widths (rest-frame EW(H-beta) > 30 A) are ideal candidates for the lowest metallicity…
We present a sample of 48 metal-poor galaxies at $ z < 0.14$ selected from 92,510 galaxies in the LAMOST survey. These galaxies are identified for their detection of the auroral emission line \oiii$\lambda$4363 above $3\sigma$ level, which…
We predict the metallicity probability distribution function (PDF) of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies at low-redshifts ($z \la 0.3$) when GRBs occur only in low-metallicity environment, assuming empirical formulations of galaxy…
Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are defined to have gas-phase metallicity smaller than a tenth of the solar value (12 + log[O/H] < 7.69). They are uncommon, chemically and possibly dynamically primitive, with physical conditions…
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) provide a premier tool for studying high-redshift star-forming galaxies thanks to their extreme brightness and association with massive stars. Here we use GRBs to study the galaxy mass-metallicity…
Using deep narrow-band (NB) imaging and optical spectroscopy from the Keck telescope and MMT, we identify a sample of 20 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) at z=0.065-0.90 where the weak auroral emission line, [OIII]4363, is detected at…
We present a statistically robust mass-metallicity (M-Z) relation for long-duration gamma-ray burst (LGRB) host galaxies at z < 1. By comparing the LGRB host M-Z relation to samples representative of the general star-forming galaxy…
We carry out a systematic search for extremely metal poor (XMP) galaxies in the spectroscopic sample of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data release 7 (DR7). The XMP candidates are found by classifying all the galaxies according to the form…
JWST is beginning to uncover a population of extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs, $Z < 1\%~\mathrm{Z}_\odot$) at $z > 3$, mostly through serendipitous NIRSpec discoveries and blind slitless spectroscopy. To accelerate our understanding of…
Extremely metal poor (XMP) galaxies are known to be very rare, despite the large numbers of low-mass galaxies predicted by the local galaxy luminosity function. This paper presents a sub-sample of galaxies that were selected via a…
The advent of m class telescopes has allowed the detailed spectroscopic study of sizeable numbers of extremely metal-poor Galactic stars which are the witnesses of the formation of the early Galaxy. Their chemical composition displays some…
We report the discovery of eight new extremely metal-poor galaxies (XMPGs; 12+log(O/H) < 7.65) and the recovery of four previously known or suspected XMPGs (IZw18, HS0822+3542, HS0837+4717 and A1116+517) using Sloan Digital Sky Survey…
Extremely Metal-Poor Galaxies (XMPGs), defined as having metallicities below 10\% of the solar value, are considered possible local analogs to primordial systems and offer a unique window into early galaxy evolution. This study presents a…
We present a re-analysis of spectroscopic data for 23 HII-regions in 12 blue, metal-poor low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) taking advantage of recent developments in calibrating strong-line methods. In doing so we have identified a…
We report on the discovery of 28 $z\approx0.8$ metal-poor galaxies in DEEP2. These galaxies were selected for their detection of the weak [OIII]$\lambda$4363 emission line, which provides a "direct" measure of the gas-phase metallicity. A…
Nearby extremely metal-poor galaxies (XMPs) allow us to study primitive galaxy formation and evolution in greater detail than is possible at high redshift. This work, for the first time, promotes the use of convolutional neural networks…
The study of group properties of the extremely metal-deficient gas-rich local dwarfs is very promising for the understanding the galaxy formation process at high redshifts. About 20 such objects have been picked up from the literature in…
We have discovered a sample of 17 metal-poor, yet luminous, star-forming galaxies at redshifts z~0.7. They were selected from the initial phase of the DEEP2 survey of 3900 galaxies and the Team Keck Redshift Survey (TKRS) of 1536 galaxies…
