Abstract The Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey is
currently acquiring integral-field spectroscopy for the largest sample of galaxies to date. By …

The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies are shaped by nearly every physical
property of the system, including the star-formation history, metal content, abundance …

This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky
Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the …

Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope is now detecting early black holes (BHs) as
they transition from" seeds" to supermassive BHs. Recently, Bogdan et al. reported the …

ABSTRACT I introduce some improvements to the ppxf method, which measures the stellar
and gas kinematics, star formation history (SFH) and chemical composition of galaxies. I …

The Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) have been almost continuously observing the skies
for over 20 yr, since the project began with a first phase in 1998 (SDSS-I; York et al. 2000) …

Inference of the physical properties of stellar populations from observed photometry and
spectroscopy is a key goal in the study of galaxy evolution. In recent years, the quality and …

We report a robust sample of 10 massive quiescent galaxies at redshift, z> 3, selected using
the first data from the JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science programme. Three of …

The identification of sources driving cosmic reionization, a major phase transition from
neutral hydrogen to ionized plasma around 600–800 Myr after the Big Bang,–, has been a …

I start by providing an updated summary of the penalized pixel-fitting (ppxf) method that is
used to extract the stellar and gas kinematics, as well as the stellar population of galaxies …
