We have studied a sample of 11 blue, luminous, metal-poor galaxies at redshift 0.744 < z < 0.835 from the DEEP2 redshift survey. They were selected by the presence of the [OIII]4363 auroral line and the [OII]3726,3729 doublet together with…
We present the results of near-infrared spectroscopic observations for a sample of 12 star-forming galaxies at 1.0<z<1.5, drawn from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey. H-beta, [OIII], H-alpha, and [NII] emission-line fluxes are measured for…
Understanding the spatial distribution of metals within galaxies allows us to study the processes of chemical enrichment and mixing in the interstellar medium (ISM). In this work, we map the two-dimensional distribution of metals using a…
Metal poor dwarf galaxies in the local universe, such as those found in the RESOLVE galaxy survey, often produce high [O III]/H\b{eta} ratios close to the star forming demarcation lines of the diagnostic BPT diagram. Modeling the emission…
We quantify the distribution of [OIII]+H$\beta$ line strengths at z$\simeq$7 using a sample of 20 bright (M$_{\mathrm{UV}}$ $\lesssim$ $-$21) galaxies. We select these systems over wide-area fields (2.3 deg$^2$ total) using a new…
We have used a combination of stellar population synthesis and photoionization models to develop a set of ionization parameter and abundance diagnostics based only on the use of the strong optical emission lines. These models are applicable…
We present results from near-infrared spectroscopy of 26 emission-line galaxies at z ~ 2 obtained with the FIRE spectrometer on the Magellan Baade telescope. The sample was selected from the WISP survey, which uses the near-infrared grism…
We derive new empirical scaling relations between WISE mid-infrared galaxy photometry and well-determined stellar masses from SED modeling of a suite of optical-infrared photometry provided by the DR4 Catalogue of the GAMA-KiDS-VIKING…
We identify an abundant population of extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) at redshift z~1.7 in the Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) imaging from Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3 (HST/WFC3). 69…
Emission line galaxies are an invaluable tool for our understanding of the evolution of galaxies in the Universe. Imaging of deep fields with narrow-band filters allows not only the selection of these objects, but also to infer the line…
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…
Context: Studies of extremely metal-poor stars indicate that chemical abundance ratios [X/Fe] have an rms scatter as low as 0.05 dex (12 \%). It remains unclear whether this reflects observational uncertainties or intrinsic astrophysical…
We report the oxygen abundances of the HII regions of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. We provide analytic functions describing the McGaugh (1991) calibration of the R_23 method. We use this and the equivalent width (EW)…
We present the detailed modelling of line spectra emitted from galaxies at redshifts 0.2<z<2.3. The spectra account only for a few oxygen to Hb line ratios. The results show that [OII]3727+3729/Hb and [OIII]5007+4959/Hb are not sufficient…
We present results on the z~2.3 mass-metallicity relation (MZR) using early observations from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey. We use an initial sample of 87 star-forming galaxies with spectroscopic coverage of H\beta,…
We are undertaking a program to measure emission line ratios in a selected sample of $0.5 < z < 1.0$ CFRS starforming galaxies in order to compute their Interstellar Medium metallicities. The latter are derived by means of the…

We investigate the properties of $z$=2.23 H$\alpha$ and [OIII]$\lambda$5007 emitters using the narrow-band-selected samples obtained from the High-$z$ Emission Line Survey (HiZELS: Sobral et al. 2013). We construct two samples of the…
