Description
We present a study of the metallicity of 20268 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey—Data Release 6 (SDSS-DR6)—using the R 23 method, and derive analytical calibrations from several metallicity-sensitive line ratios: [Nii] λ6583/Hα, [Oiii] λ5007/[Nii] λ6583, [Nii] λ6583/[Oii] λ3727, [Nii] λ6583/ [Sii] λλ6717, 6731, [Sii] λλ6717, 6731/Hα, and [Oiii] λλ4959, 5007/Hβ. We have performed the study for the resdshift interval (0.04-0.1) for all the Sloan survey release. This is the first part of a more complete work which aims to study the metallicity dependences of the star-forming galaxies in the Local Universe.

    Ultra-deep imaging of M33: exploring its stellar halo with broad band imaging for the first time
    The star counting technique by the PAndAS survey reveals that M33 is undergoing a tidal interaction with its massive neighbor, M31. Due to this interaction, the stellar halo of M33 shows faint tidal features. These features are only visible at extremely low surface brightness levels (i.e. >30 mag/arcsec^2). For this reason, M33 is a perfect test

    Overview of the HARMONI integral field spectrograph for the ELT - Insights into Galaxy Evolution and AGN
    The High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph (HARMONI) is a first generation instrument designed for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). HARMONI offers operational versatility, enabling both seeing-limited (NOAO) operation and compensation for atmospheric optical turbulence using two systems: Single
