Abstract
Our unique perspective from within the Milky Way gives us the ability to take images and spectra of individual stars throughout most of the Galaxy. By analyzing this data we have attained a detailed understanding of our Galaxy's stellar populations, gas and dust content, internal dynamics, and star formation, chemical enrichment, and assembly histories. Unfortunately, this level of detail is somewhat unattainable in external galaxies due to stellar crowding, so we must get creative with our analysis methods to account for this. I will present results from two projects. The first involves fitting panchromatic SEDs of resolved stars in two nearby galaxies that have archival observations from HST and JWST, which combine to create the highest resolution broad wavelength coverage possible. This provides an incredible opportunity to study dusty star forming galaxies in high resolution, unveiling why these galaxies are so UV bright for their dust content, and how they form stars despite their low molecular gas mass. The second project involves full-spectrum-fitting of Local Group star clusters from the APOGEE survey. From these high-resolution, integrated-light spectra we can measure the clusters' kinematics, metallicities, and α abundances, which trace the chemical enrichment and assembly history of the galaxy. These two approaches can constrain the assembly and chemical enrichment history of nearby galaxies while providing insight into the fundamental physics governing galaxy evolution in the nearby universe.
