Abundances of KISS Galaxies
We report results from the third in a series of nebular abundance studies of emission-line galaxies from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). Galaxies with coarse metallicity estimates of 12 + log(O/H) less than 8.2 dex were selected for observation. Spectra of 14 galaxies, which cover the full optical region from [OII]λλ3727,3729 to beyond [SII]λλ6717,6731, are presented, and ab...
متن کاملIntegrated Nebular Abundances of Disk Galaxies
We study whether integrated optical spectroscopy of a disk galaxy can be used to infer the mean, or characteristic gas-phase oxygen abundance in the presence of systematic effects such as spatial abundance variations, contributions to the integrated emission-line spectrum from diffuse-ionized gas, and dust attenuation. Our sample consists of 14 nearby disk galaxies with integrated spectrophotom...
متن کاملNebular Abundances of Nearby Southern Dwarf Galaxies
The results of optical spectroscopy of H II regions in a sample of southern dwarf irregulars consisting of five dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus A group, four dwarfs in the Sculptor group, and eight additional dwarf galaxies are presented. Oxygen abundances are derived using the direct method where [O III]λ4363 is detected; otherwise, abundances are derived with the bright-line method using the ...
متن کاملNebular abundances in galaxies: Beware of biases
The derivation of nebular abundances in galaxies using strong line methods is simple and quick. Various indices have been designed and calibrated for this purpose, and they are widely used. However, abundances derived with such methods may be significantly biased, if the objects under study have different structural properties (hardness of the ionizing radiation field, morphology of the nebulae...
متن کاملStar Formation and Abundances in S0 Galaxies
A significant number of S0 galaxies with a detectable ISM show some level of on-going massive-star formation activity in the form of visible H II Regions. A rich ISM, however, does not guarantee star formation: a significant number of relatively gas-rich S0s have no detectable H II regions down to the level of regions ionized by single O stars (e.g., Orion-like H II regions). The Hα luminositie...
