We use a deep capsule network to achieve state-of-the-art photo-z’s for SDSS galaxies.
We introduce a method for local calibration of photo-z PDFs.

MaNGA Milky Way Analogs consistently have younger stellar populations at large radii but a wide range of central stellar population ages; about half of the MWAs have central AGN or composite activity.

We construct an analytic chemical evolution model with a realistic SNIa delay time distribution to probe how model parameters affect equilibrium abundances and the effects of sudden changes to those parameters.

We explore the trade-offs in parameters of chemical evolution models.
We use direct method metallicities of stacked SDSS galaxies to recalibrate strong line metallicity diagnostics.

The direct method mass-metallicity relation has a steeper slope, a lower turnover mass, and a factor of 2-3 greater dependence on SFR than strong line mass-metallicity relations.
PCA of elemental abundances of bulge stars revealing that the first two components are (1) correlated alpha elements and (2) correlated Na and Ni—two elements that have metallicity-dependent core-collapse supernova yields.
Radiation pressure from the absorption and scattering of starlight by dust grains, which are hydrodynamically coupled to the gas, sets a hard upper limit to the luminosity of star-forming regions.
