We present the results of a machine learning study to measure the dust content of galaxies observed with JWST at z > 6 through the use of trained neural networks based on high-resolution IllustrisTNG simulations. Dust is an important…

We present and analyze spatially-resolved maps for the observed $V$- and $g$-band to 3.6$\mu$m flux ratios and the inferred dust extinction values, $A_V$, for a sample of 257 nearby NGC and IC galaxies. Flux ratio maps are constructed using…

We investigate early galaxy evolution by modeling self-consistently their radially-resolved evolution of gas, stars, heavy elements, and dust content. Our model successfully reproduces various observed properties of JWST-identified galaxies…

MaNGA provides the opportunity to make precise spatially resolved measurements of the IMF slope in galaxies owing to its unique combination of spatial resolution, wavelength coverage and sample size. We derive radial gradients in age,…

Dust attenuations observed by stars and ionized gas are not necessarily the same. The lack of observational constraints on the nebular dust attenuation curve leaves a large uncertainty when correcting nebular dust attenuation with stellar…

We present an empirical relation between the cold gas surface density ($\Sigma_{\rm gas}$) and the optical extinction (${\rm A_V}$) in a sample of 103 galaxies from the Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution (EDGE) survey. This survey…

Dust attenuation in galaxies has often been used as a proxy for the extinction of point sources, such as supernovae, even though this approach ignores fundamental differences between the two cases. We present an analysis of the impact of…

MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is a SDSS-IV survey that will obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy from 3600 \AA\ to 10300 \AA\ for a representative sample of over 10000 nearby galaxies. In this paper we…

We present the dust mass function (DMF) of 15,750 galaxies with redshift $z< 0.1$, drawn from the overlapping area of the GAMA and {\it H-}ATLAS surveys. The DMF is derived using the density corrected $V_{\rm max}$ method, where we estimate…

Fitting model spectral energy distributions (SED) to galaxy photometric data is a widely used method to recover galaxy parameters from galaxy surveys. However, the parameter space used to describe galaxies is wide and interdependent, and…

We present a systematic study of the shape of the dust attenuation curve in star-forming galaxies from the far ultraviolet to the near infrared (0.15-2microns), as a function of specific star formation rate (sSFR) and axis ratio (b/a), for…

We relate the optical attenuation inferred by the Balmer decrement, $A_{V\mathrm{,BD}}$, and by the SED-fitting, $A_{V\mathrm{,SED}}$, to the dust distribution and gas surface density throughout the disc of galaxies, down to scales smaller…

Dust attenuation varies substantially from galaxy to galaxy and as of yet cannot be reproduced from first principles in theoretical models. In Nagaraj et al. (2022), we developed the first Bayesian population model of dust attenuation as a…

We combine H-alpha emission-line and infrared continuum measurements of two samples of nearby galaxies to derive dust attenuation-corrected star formation rates (SFRs). We use a simple energy balance based method that has been applied…

Star-forming galaxies (SFGs) adhere to a surprisingly tight scaling relation of dust attenuation parameterized by the infrared excess (IRX=$L_{\rm IR}/L_{\rm UV}$), being jointly determined by the star formation rate (SFR), galaxy size…

We develop a novel approach to measure dust attenuation properties of galaxies, including the dust opacity, shape of the attenuation curve and the strength of the 2175{\AA} absorption feature. From an observed spectrum, the method uses a…

Dust attenuation of an inclined galaxy can cause additional asymmetries in observations, even if the galaxy has a perfectly symmetric structure. {Taking advantage of the integral field spectroscopic data observed by the SDSS-IV MaNGA…
