Two Channels of Metal-rich Compact Stellar System Formation: Starbursts under High Ram Pressure versus Tidal Stripping
Most galaxies follow a well-defined scaling relation between metallicity and stellar mass; however, some outliers at the low-mass end of the observed galaxy population exhibit unusually high metallicity for their mass. Understanding how these objects get to be so metal-rich is vital for understandin...
