Synthetic integrated spectral properties of the old Galactic open clusters are studies in this work, where twenty-seven Galactic open clusters of ages >= 1Gyr are selected as the working sample. Based on the photometric observations of…
Low and intermediate mass stars with super solar metallicities comprise a known portion of the universe. Yet yields for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with metallicities greater than $Z=0.04$ do not exist in the literature. This…
We analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) for eight commonly-used cosmological codes in the AGORA collaboration. The codes are calibrated to use identical initial conditions, cosmology, heating and cooling, and star formation thresholds,…
A large fraction of the luminous distant submm-wave galaxies recently detected using SCUBA on the JCMT appear to be associated with interacting optical counterparts. We investigate these systems using a simple hierarchical clustering model…
We recently identified an upturn in [Na/Fe] for the population of Solar-type stars in the Galactic young thick disc ($-0.3 < \mathrm{[Fe/H]} < +0.3$) at super-Solar metallicity in data from the GALactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH)…

Using several variants of the cosmological Simba simulations, we investigate the impact of different feedback prescriptions on the cosmic star formation history. Adopting a global-to-local approach, we link signatures seen in global…
Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire history of star formation upon which that population is…
Inhomogeneous chemical evolution models of galaxies which try to reproduce the scatter seen in element-to-iron ratios of metal-poor halo stars are heavily dependent on theoretical nucleosynthesis yields of core-collapse supernovae. Hence…
Phylogenetic methods, traditionally used in biology to trace the evolutionary relationships among species, are emerging as a powerful framework to reconstruct evolutionary processes in galaxies from chemical information. We apply galactic…
Simulations of galaxy formation are mostly unable to resolve the energy-conserving phase of individual supernova events, having to resort to subgrid models to distribute the energy and momentum resulting from stellar feedback. However, the…
We study the stellar populations of bulges of Milky Way-like (MW-like) galaxies with the aim of identifying the physical processes involved in the formation of the bulge of our Galaxy. We use the semi-analytic model of galaxy formation and…
