A comparison of young star properties with local galactic environment for LEGUS/LITTLE THINGS dwarf irregular galaxies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of environmental factors in determining characteristics of young stellar objects in nearby dwarf irregular and blue compact dwarf galaxies was explored, and no trend of cluster characteristics with environmental properties was found, implying that larger-scale effects are more important in determining cluster characteristics or rapid dynamical evolution erases any memory of the initial conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy elements unveil the non primordial origin of the giant HI ring in Leo.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed optical integral field spectroscopy of 3 HI clumps in the Leo ring where ultraviolet continuum emission has been found, and detected ionized hydrogen in the ring and identified 4 nebular regions powered by massive stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaseous nebulae and massive stars in the giant H I ring in Leo

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the process of star formation and the slow build-up of a stellar population that could form diffuse and metal-rich dwarf galaxies in the Leo ring.
