Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheqiu Lyu, Enci Wang, Hongxin Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Xin Wang | Summary: Using spatially resolved spectroscopic data from the MaNGA sample, we investigate the parameters influencing the radial gradients of gas-phase metallicity ($nablalog(mathrm{O/H})$), to determine whether disk formation is primarily driven by coplanar gas inflow or by […]
