Milky Way abundance trends act as effective empirical proxies for nucleosynthetic yields, recovering alpha and Fe-peak abundances in quiescent galaxies with 0.05 dex median offset versus 0.23 dex for theory, indicating largely universal yields.
Multi-phase observations of NGC 1427A indicate tidal torquing from a dwarf fly-by has pre-conditioned its gas for ram-pressure stripping by the Fornax intracluster medium, placing the galaxy at the onset of environmental quenching with a declining star formation rate.
FIRE-2 simulations find metallicity gradients in EoR galaxies flatten from median -0.15 dex/kpc at z~10 to -0.1 at z~6, with positive correlations to stellar mass and gas flow proxy Δv/2σ and links to central SFR density.
TNG50 shows galactic outflow mass loading is non-monotonic with stellar mass, rising rapidly above 10^10.5 Msun due to black hole feedback, and produces fast multi-phase outflows with emergent collimation.
The Milky Way retrograde halo contains debris from multiple accreted dwarf galaxies, shown by distinct metallicity distribution peaks that remain separate even when combined with orbital dynamics.
COLIBRE calibrates supernova and AGN feedback parameters in multi-phase ISM cosmological simulations using emulator-based fitting to reproduce the z=0 galaxy stellar mass function and size-stellar mass relation at three resolutions.
Segue 1 has a metallicity distribution with mean [Fe/H] = -2.52 dex and dispersion 0.59 dex showing no subpopulations, consistent with continuous star formation lasting less than 1 Gyr before reionization.
Homogeneous [Fe/H] measurements for 334 Local Volume galaxies reveal a luminosity-metallicity relation [Fe/H] = -2.6 - 0.075 M_B with a distribution peaking at -1.89 dex.
The PFS Galactic Archaeology survey will observe thousands of stars in Local Group systems to measure density profiles in dwarfs and compare assembly histories of M31 and the Milky Way.

Galactic Amnesia: The Information Washout of the Milky Way Merger History
Mutual information analysis of TNG50 simulations shows gravitational potential and total energy retain merger mass and infall time information longest, while radial velocity loses it within ~5 Gyr, with washout depending on radius, merger age, and mass.

Are Nucleosynthetic Yields Universal? Interpreting the Multi-Elemental Abundances of Quiescent Galaxies over Cosmic Time Using Milky Way Stars
Milky Way abundance trends act as effective empirical proxies for nucleosynthetic yields, recovering alpha and Fe-peak abundances in quiescent galaxies with 0.05 dex median offset versus 0.23 dex for theory, indicating largely universal yields.

Tidal pre-conditioning and ram-pressure stripping in NGC 1427A. Deep VLT/MUSE spectroscopy and FUV-to-radio observations trace a Fornax Cluster dwarf in transformation
Multi-phase observations of NGC 1427A indicate tidal torquing from a dwarf fly-by has pre-conditioned its gas for ram-pressure stripping by the Fornax intracluster medium, placing the galaxy at the onset of environmental quenching with a declining star formation rate.

Galaxy Metallicity Gradients in the Reionization Epoch from the FIRE-2 Simulations
FIRE-2 simulations find metallicity gradients in EoR galaxies flatten from median -0.15 dex/kpc at z~10 to -0.1 at z~6, with positive correlations to stellar mass and gas flow proxy Δv/2σ and links to central SFR density.

First Results from the TNG50 Simulation: Galactic outflows driven by supernovae and black hole feedback
TNG50 shows galactic outflow mass loading is non-monotonic with stellar mass, rising rapidly above 10^10.5 Msun due to black hole feedback, and produces fast multi-phase outflows with emergent collimation.
