Asymmetric drift in MaNGA: Mass and radially-dependent stratification rates in galaxy disks

Matthew A. Bershady, Kyle B. Westfall, Shravan Shetty +5

We measure the age-velocity relationship from the lag between ionized gas and stellar tangential speeds in ~500 nearby disk galaxies from MaNGA in SDSS-IV. Selected galaxies are ki…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Calibration of astrophysical line-widths in the Hα region using HexPak observations

Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay, Matthew A. Bershady, David R. Law +7

We have re-observed 40 low-inclination, star-forming galaxies from the MaNGA survey ($\upsigma\sim65$~\kms) at 6.5 times higher spectral resolution ($\upsigma\sim10$

Stellar Population Synthesis with Distinct Kinematics: Multi-Age Asymmetric Drift in SDSS-IV MaNGA Galaxies

Shravan Shetty, Matthew A. Bershady, Kyle B. Westfall +5

We present the first asymmetric drift (AD) measurements for unresolved stellar populations of different characteristic ages above and below 1.5 Gyr. These measurements sample the a…

A Precise Benchmark for Cluster Scaling Relations: Fundamental Plane, Mass Plane and IMF in the Coma Cluster from Dynamical Models

Shravan Shetty, Michele Cappellari, Richard M. McDermid +4

We study a sample of 148 early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster using SDSS photometry and spectra, and calibrate our results using detailed dynamical models for a subset of these…

The Data Analysis Pipeline for the SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey: Emission-Line Modeling

Francesco Belfiore, Kyle B. Westfall, Adam Schaefer +12

SDSS-IV MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is the largest integral-field spectroscopy survey to date, aiming to observe a statistically representative samp…

The Data Analysis Pipeline for the SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey: Overview

Kyle B. Westfall, Michele Cappellari, Matthew A. Bershady +28

Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) is acquiring integral-field spectroscopy for the largest sample of galaxies to date. By 2020, the MaNGA Survey --- one o…
