“…Henry & Howard 1994), in particular at O/H abundances above solar, but the ranking of abundances appears fairly secure. There are several reasons to suspect that recent galactic evolution might aect G: (1) G's are aected by dynamical phenomena such as bars (Pagel et al 1979;ZKH;Martin & Roy 1994;Friedli, Benz, & Kennicutt 1994), (2) oxygen traces recent star formation because it is produced by T ype II SNe, and (3) infalling gas is likely to have a l o w er metallicity than disk gas.…”

I discuss observations of magnitude residuals from the B-band Tully-Fisher relationship, B V color, chemical abundance gradients, and asymmetries in the H I and stellar disks of nearby spiral galaxies within the context of a model in which small satellites or H I clouds are accreted onto the outer disks of spiral galaxies. Correlations between the various observables support the hypothesis that accretion dilutes the gas phase abundances in the outer disk, steepens the abundance gradient across the disk, increases the star formation rate, and creates asymmetries in the outer disk. By estimating the duration of steep abundance gradients, elevated rates of star formation, or outer disk asymmetries, constraints can be placed on the rate of accretion events. The data suggest that accretion events at the current time are common.

We present a new approach based on Supervised Machine Learning (SML) algorithms to infer key physical properties of galaxies (density, metallicity, column density and ionization parameter) from their emission line spectra. We introduce a numerical code (called game, GAlaxy Machine learning for Emission lines) implementing this method and test it extensively. game delivers excellent predictive performances, especially for estimates of metallicity and column densities. We compare game with the most widely used diagnostics (e.g. R 23 , [NII]λ6584 / Hα indicators) showing that it provides much better accuracy and wider applicability range. game is particularly suitable for use in combination with Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopy, both for restframe optical/UV nebular lines and far-infrared/sub-mm lines arising from PhotoDissociation Regions. Finally, game can also be applied to the analysis of synthetic galaxy maps built from numerical simulations.
