GLOW II: A Census of Oxygen in Low-Mass Galaxies
Astroboat summary
Oxygen is forged by stars and redistributed through galaxies by feedback-driven outflows, leaving a record of star formation and the baryon cycle imprinted on its present-day abundance and distribution. The Galaxies Losing Oxygen via Winds (GLOW) project quantifies the production, distribution, and retention of oxygen in 37 low-mass, low-metallicity,...
