Description
We present a detailed and uniform study of oxygen abundances in a large set of 155 metal-rich dwarfs. EW measurements were carried out for the [OI] 6300 Å line and the OI triplet, while spectral synthesis was performed for several OH lines. NLTE corrections were calculated and applied to the LTE abundance results derived from the triplet. Abundances from [OI], the OI triplet and near-UV OH were obtained in 103, 87 and 77 dwarfs, respectively. A good agreement between [O/H] ratios from forbidden and OH lines is found, while the NLTE triplet shows a systematically lower abundance. Nevertheless, the consistency with other indicators improves if we consider LTE triplet results. In any case, discrepancies between OH, [OI] and the OI triplet hardly exceed 0.2dex. All three indicators show that, on average, [O/Fe] decreases with [Fe/H] in the metallicity range -0.8<[Fe/H]<0.5.

    Confronting Dark Matter Models with Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxies
    Dwarf irregular galaxies, due to their lower masses, relative isolation, and high-quality data availability, are ideal laboratories to test various models of dark matter. In particular, the existence, morphology and formation of central cores in dwarf galaxies has been a contentious issue in the literature in light of apparent tensions with the

    Quantifying the typical scale of star formation in the spiral arms through their young stellar clusters
    Star formation is a vital phenomenon across all fields of astronomy, shaping our universe in all its vastness, from the small scale of exoplanets to the large scales of galaxies and beyond. There are nevertheless still many unknowns surrounding star formation because of its complexity. Spiral arms are important sites of star formation, yet in spite

    A new era in galaxy edge characterisation with ultra-deep imaging
    For the first time, the LIGHTS survey is routinely imaging galaxies at a depth and spatial resolution comparable to what LSST will produce in 10 years (i.e. ~31 mag/arcsec^2). This opens up the possibility of probing the edge of galaxies with a precision that we have not been able to achieve in the past. While we have been limited to one
