Journal ArticleDOI

Searching for the lowest metallicity galaxies in the local universe.

TL;DR: Hsyu et al. as mentioned in this paper used the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique to explore an 8-dimensional parameter space and solve for the parameters that best describe their observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PHLEK Survey : a new determination of the primordial helium abundance.

TL;DR: In this article, the primordial helium abundance of sixteen metal-poor galaxies has been determined using NIR and optical spectroscopy, and a linear fit to these measurements has been performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Little Cub: Discovery of an Extremely Metal-poor Star-forming Galaxy in the Local Universe

TL;DR: The discovery of the Little Cub, an extremely metal-poor star-forming galaxy in the local universe, found in the constellation Ursa Major (a.k.a. the Great Bear) is reported in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (MAGG) – I: Survey design and the environment of a near pristine gas cloud at z ≈ 3.5

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the design, methods, and first results of the MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (MAGG) survey, a large programme on the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) which targets 28 z > 3.2 quasars to investigate the connection between optically-thick gas and galaxies at z ∼ 3 − 4.8.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PHLEK Survey: A New Determination of the Primordial Helium Abundance

TL;DR: In this article, the helium abundance of sixteen metal-poor galaxies has been determined using NIR spectroscopy and optical spectrograms using the HeI 10830A emission line.
