First survey of Wolf-Rayet star populations over the full extension of nearby galaxies observed with CALIFA
D. Miralles-Caballero, A. I. Díaz, Á. R. López-Sánchez +19
The search of extragalactic regions with conspicuous presence of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars outside the Local Group is challenging task due to the difficulties in detecting their faint…
Star-formation histories of local luminous infrared galaxies
Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Luis Colina +7
We present the analysis of the integrated spectral energy distribution (SED) from the ultraviolet (UV) to the far-infrared and H of a sample of 29 local systems and individual g…
Imprints of galaxy evolution on H ii regions Memory of the past uncovered by the CALIFA survey
S. F. Sanchez, E. Perez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega +27
H ii regions in galaxies are the sites of star formation and thus particular places to understand the build-up of stellar mass in the universe. The line ratios of this ionized gas…
Ionizing stellar population in the disc of NGC 3310 - II. The Wolf-Rayet population
D. Miralles-Caballero, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, A. I. Díaz +3
We use integral field spectroscopy to study in detail the Wolf-Rayet (WR) population in NGC 3310, spatially resolving 18 star-forming knots with typical sizes of 200-300 pc in the…
Ionizing stellar population in the disk of NGC 3310 I. The impact of a minor merger on galaxy evolution
D. Miralles-Caballero, A. I. Díaz, F. F. Rosales-Ortega +2
Numerical simulations of minor mergers predict little enhancement in the global star formation activity. However, it is still unclear the impact they have on the chemical state of…
A multi-wavelength view of the central kiloparsec region in the Luminous Infrared Galaxy NGC1614
Rubén Herrero-Illana, Miguel Á. Pérez-Torres, Almudena Alonso-Herrero +9
The Luminous Infrared Galaxy NGC1614 hosts a prominent circumnuclear ring of star formation. However, the nature of the dominant emitting mechanism in its central ~100 pc is still…
A characteristic oxygen abundance gradient in galaxy disks unveiled with CALIFA
S. F. Sanchez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, J. Iglesias-Paramo +35
We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of HII regions and associations compiled so far. The catalog comprises more than 7000 ionized regions, extracted from 306 galaxi…
The O3N2 and N2 abundance indicators revisited: improved calibrations based on CALIFA and Te-based literature data
R. A. Marino, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, S. F. Sánchez +31
The use of IFS is since recently allowing to measure the emission line fluxes of an increasingly large number of star-forming galaxies both locally and at high redshift. The main g…
VLT/VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies: 2D kinematic properties
Enrica Bellocchi, Santiago Arribas, Luis Colina +1
We present and discuss the 2D kinematic properties of the ionized gas (Halpha) in a sample of 38 local (ultra) luminous infrared galaxies [(U)LIRGs] (31 LIRGs and 7 ULIRGs) observe…
The Mass-Metallicity relation explored with CALIFA: I. Is there a dependence on the star formation rate?
S. F. Sanchez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, B. Jungwiert +40
We present the results on the study of the global and local M-Z relation based on the first data available from the CALIFA survey (150 galaxies). This survey provides integral fiel…
Optically Selected Compact Stellar Regions and Tidal Dwarf Galaxies in (Ultra)-Luminous Infrared Galaxies
Daniel Miralles-Caballero
This thesis work is devoted to the analysis of compact star forming regions (knots) in a representative sample of 32 (U)LIRGs. The project is based mainly on optical high angular r…
Extranuclear Halpha-emitting complexes in low-z (U)LIRGs: Precursors of tidal dwarf galaxies?
D. Miralles-Caballero, L. Colina, S. Arribas
(Abridged)This paper characterizes the physical and kinematic properties of external massive star-forming regions in a sample of (U)LIRGs. We use high angular resolution ACS images…
Characterization of optically-selected star forming knots in (U)LIRGs
Daniel Miralles-Caballero, Luis Colina, Santiago Arribas +1
(abridged)We present a comprehensive characterization of the general properties (luminosity functions, mass, size, ages, etc) of optically selected compact stellar objects (knots)…
Photometric and Kinematic Characterization of Tidal Dwarf Galaxy candidates
D. Miralles-Caballero, L. Colina, S. Arribas
Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDG), or self-graviting objects created from the tidal forces in interacting galaxies, have been found in several merging systems. This work will focus on ide…
