Se ha medido el gradiente de abundancia de Oxígeno en la galaxia M33 con muestras relativamente grandes de regiones HII y usando dos métodos diferentes: primero, mediante el calibrador S2N2 aplicado a 76 regiones HII, y segundo, mediante el método empírico, usando la temperatura electrónica medida a partir de las líneas de [OIII] en 14 regiones HII (más otras 15 de la literatura). Ambos métodos indican un gradiente de -0.06 (±0.01) dex/kpc.

    Baryonic properties of nearby galaxies across the stellar-to-total dynamical mass relation
    Despite the fundamental role that dark matter halos play in our theoretical understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, the interplay between galaxies and their host dark matter halos remains highly debated from an observational perspective. This lack of conclusive observational evidence ultimately arises from the inherent difficulty of reliably measuring dark matter (halo) properties. Based on detailed dynamical modeling of nearby galaxies, in this work we proposed a novel observational approach to quantify the potential effect that dark matter halos may have in modulating galaxy

    Constraints on the in situ and ex situ stellar masses in nearby galaxies obtained with artificial intelligence
    The hierarchical model of galaxy evolution suggests that mergers have a substantial impact on the intricate processes that drive stellar assembly within a galaxy. However, accurately measuring the contribution of accretion to a galaxy's total stellar mass and its balance with in situ star formation poses a persistent challenge, as it is neither directly observable nor easily inferred from observational properties. Using data from MaNGA, we present theory-motivated predictions for the fraction of stellar mass originating from mergers in a statistically significant sample of nearby galaxies

    Challenging the theoretically predicted mass-loss rate increase of blue supergiants in the bi-stability region of the stellar winds
    The properties of blue supergiants are key for constraining the end of the main sequence phase, a phase during which massive stars spend most of their lifetimes. The lack of fast-rotating stars below 21.000K, a temperature around which stellar winds change in behaviour, has been proposed to be caused by enhanced mass-loss rates, which would spin down the star. Alternatively, the lack of fast-rotating stars may be the result of stars reaching the end of the main sequence. Here, we combine newly derived estimates of photospheric and wind parameters, wind terminal velocities from the literature
