SDSS-IV MaNGA: The link between bars and the early cessation of star formation in spiral galaxies
Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +9
Bars are common in low-redshift disk galaxies, and hence quantifying their influence on their host is of importance to the field of galaxy evolution. We determine the stellar popul…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Excavating the fossil record of stellar populations in spiral galaxies
Thomas Peterken, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +5
We perform a "fossil record" analysis for ~800 low-redshift spiral galaxies, using STARLIGHT applied to integral field spectroscopic observations from the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey to o…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: spatially resolved dust attenuation in spiral galaxies
Michael J. Greener, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Michael R. Merrifield +9
Dust attenuation in star-forming spiral galaxies affects stars and gas in different ways due to local variations in dust geometry. We present spatially resolved measurements of dus…
Time-slicing spiral galaxies with SDSS-IV MaNGA
Thomas Peterken, Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +6
Spectra of galaxies contain a wealth of information about the stellar populations from which they are made. With integral-field unit (IFU) surveys, such data can be used to map out…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Stellar Population Gradients Within Barred Galaxies
Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +11
Bars in galaxies are thought to stimulate both inflow of material and radial mixing along them. Observational evidence for this mixing has been inconclusive so far however, limitin…
SDSS IV MaNGA: Full spectroscopic bulge-disc decomposition of MaNGA early-type galaxies
Martha Tabor, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca +5
By applying spectroscopic decomposition methods to a sample of MaNGA early-type galaxies, we separate out spatially and kinematically distinct stellar populations, allowing us to e…
