SDSS-IV MaNGA: 3D spin alignment of spiral and S0 galaxies

Katarina Kraljic, Christopher Duckworth, Rita Tojeiro +5

We investigate the 3D spin alignment of galaxies with respect to the large-scale filaments using the MaNGA survey. The cosmic web is reconstructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey…

Galaxy sizes and the galaxy-halo connection -- I: the remarkable tightness of the size distributions

Lorenzo Zanisi, Francesco Shankar, Andrea Lapi +6

The mass and structural assembly of galaxies is a matter of intense debate. Current theoretical models predict the existence of a linear relationship between galaxy size () an…

The Impact of Merging on The Origin of Kinematically Misaligned and Counter-rotating Galaxies in MaNGA

Song-lin Li, Yong Shi, Dmitry Bizyaev +7

Galaxy mergers and interactions are expected to play a significant role leading to offsets between gas and stellar motions in galaxies. Herein we crossmatch galaxies in MaNGA MPL-8…

Decoupling the rotation of stars and gas -- II: the link between black hole activity and MaNGA kinematics in TNG

Christopher Duckworth, Tjitske K. Starkenburg, Shy Genel +4

We study the relationship between supermassive black hole (BH) feedback, BH luminosity and the kinematics of stars and gas for galaxies in IllustrisTNG. We use a sample of galaxies…

Decoupling the rotation of stars and gas -- I: the relationship with morphology and halo spin

Christopher Duckworth, Rita Tojeiro, Katarina Kraljic

We use a combination of data from the MaNGA survey and MaNGA-like observations in IllustrisTNG100 to determine the prevalence of misalignment between the rotational axes of stars a…

The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Signatures of halo assembly in kinematically misaligned galaxies

Christopher Duckworth, Rita Tojeiro, Katarina Kraljic +5

We investigate the relationship of kinematically misaligned galaxies with their large-scale environment, in the context of halo assembly bias. According to numerical simulations, h…

The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
