The VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA): Survey Design, Data Processing, and Spectral Analysis Methods

Guillermo A. Blanc, Tim Weinzirl, Mimi Song +14

We present the survey design, data reduction, and spectral fitting pipeline for the VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA). VENGA is an integral field spectroscopic survey,…

Submillimeter Follow-up of WISE-Selected Hyperluminous Galaxies

Jingwen Wu, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jack Sayers +20

We have used the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) to follow-up a sample of WISE-selected, hyperluminous galaxies, so called W1W2-dropout galaxies. This is a rare (~ 1000 all…

The VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA): Survey Design and First Results

Guillermo A. Blanc, Karl Gebhardt, Amanda Heiderman +14

VENGA is a large-scale extragalactic IFU survey, which maps the bulges, bars and large parts of the outer disks of 32 nearby normal spiral galaxies. The targets are chosen to span…

The Spatially Resolved Star Formation Law from Integral Field Spectroscopy: VIRUS-P Observations of NGC 5194

Guillermo A. Blanc, Amanda Heiderman, Karl Gebhardt +2

We investigate the relation between the star formation rate surface density (Sigma_SFR) and the mass surface density of gas (Sigma_gas) in NGC 5194. VIRUS-P integral field spectros…
