Star Formation Rates, Metallicities, and Stellar Masses on Kiloparsec Scales in TNG50

Integral field units have extended our knowledge of galactic properties to kiloparsec (or, sometimes, even smaller) patches of galaxies. These scales are where the physics driving galaxy evolution (feedback, chemical enrichment, etc.) take place. Quantifying the spatially resolved properties of gala...
