To study how massive variable stars affect their environment, we search for variability among Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) sources located within the optical extent of the nearby starburst galaxy IC 10. We present the ZTF IC 10 catalog, which classifies 1516 r- band sources and 864 g- band sources within a 225″ radius around IC 10 into three cat...

Counter-rotating (CR) galaxies consist of two coplanar stellar disks rotating in opposite directions -- the main, pre-existing disk with an older stellar population and a younger CR disk likely formed from externally acquired gas. Such systems offer a unique opportunity to study disk assembly by analyzing the stellar populations of each component....

Gamma-ray emission is observed coincident in position to the evolved, composite supernova remnant (SNR) B0453–685. Prior multiwavelength investigations of the region indicate that the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) within the SNR is the most likely origin for the observed gamma rays, with a possible pulsar contribution that becomes significant at energie...

Understanding the complex ionization structure and chemical composition of \hii\ regions poses a significant challenge in astrophysics. The abundance discrepancy problem, characterized by inconsistencies between abundances derived from recombination lines (RLs) and collisionally excited lines (CELs), has long been a puzzle in the field. In this the...

Identifying the dominant ionizing sources in galaxies is essential for understanding their formation and evolution. Traditionally, spectra are classified based on their dominant ionizing source using strong emission lines and Baldwin, Phillips, \& Terlevich (BPT) diagrams. The ionizing source is traditionally determined by the emission line ratios...

Does a broad-line region (BLR) wind in radio-quiet (RQ) active galactic nuclei (AGN) extend to parsec scales and produce radio emission? We explore the correlations between a parsec-scale radio wind and the BLR wind in a sample of 19 RQ Palomar–Green quasars. The radio wind is defined based on the spectral slope and the compactness of the emission...

We measure the properties of optical emission lines in multiple locations across the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the Australian National University 2.3-metre telescope and the WiFeS integral field spectrograph.
