The LBT Y p Project. II. MODS Spectra, Physical Conditions, and Oxygen Abundances in Local Metal-poor Nebulae

Noah S. J. Rogers, Evan D. Skillman, Richard W. Pogge, Erik Aver et al.

Short summary

New deep spectroscopy of 62 low-metallicity galaxies (≲20% solar O/H) using LBT MODS enables precise measurement of He/H and O/H abundances, crucial for empirically determining the primordial Helium mass fraction (Yp).
