SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Spatial Distribution of Star Formation and its Dependence on Mass, Structure and Environment

Ashley Spindler, David Wake, Francesco Belfiore +9

We study the spatially resolved star formation of 1494 galaxies in the SDSSIV-MaNGA Survey. SFRs are calculated using a two-step process, using in star forming regions and $D…

SDSS IV MaNGA - sSFR profiles and the slow quenching of discs in green valley galaxies

Francesco Belfiore, Roberto Maiolino, Kevin Bundy +11

We study radial profiles in H equivalent width and specific star formation rate (sSFR) derived from spatially-resolved SDSS-IV MaNGA spectroscopy to gain insight on the physical…

Probing the kinematic morphology-density relation of early-type galaxies with MaNGA

J. E. Greene, A. Leauthaud, E. Emsellem +17

The "kinematic" morphology-density relation for early-type galaxies posits that those galaxies with low angular momentum are preferentially found in the highest-density regions of…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Uncovering the Angular Momentum Content of Central and Satellite Early-type Galaxies

Jenny E. Greene, Alexie Leauthaud, Eric Emsellem +18

We study 379 central and 159 satellite early-type galaxies with two-dimensional kinematics from the integral-field survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) to determine how th…

The SDSS-IV MaNGA Sample: Design, Optimization, and Usage Considerations

David A. Wake, Kevin Bundy, Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic +15

We describe the sample design for the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey and present the final properties of the main samples along with important considerations for using these samples for scie…

Near-infrared spectroscopy of 5 ultra-massive galaxies at 1.7 < z < 2.7

Erin Kado-Fong, Danilo Marchesini, Z. Cemile Marsan +13

We present the results of a pilot near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic campaign of five very massive galaxies () in the range of …
