Piecing together the puzzle of NGC 5253: abundances, kinematics and WR stars

M. S. Westmoquette, B. James, A. Monreal-Ibero +1

We present Gemini-S/GMOS-IFU optical spectroscopy of four regions near the centre of the nearby (3.8 Mpc) dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 5253. This galaxy is famous for hosting a radio…

CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey. II. First public data release

CALIFA collaboration, B. Husemann, K. Jahnke +74

We present the first public data release of the CALIFA survey. It consists of science-grade optical datacubes for the first 100 of eventually 600 nearby (0.005<z<0.03) galaxies, ob…

Integral field spectroscopy of a sample of nearby galaxies: II. Properties of the H ii regions

S. F. Sanchez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, R. A. Marino +17

In this work we analyze the spectroscopic properties of a large number of H ii regions, \sim2600, located in 38 galaxies. The sample of galaxies has been assembled from the face-on…

The ionized gas in the central region of NGC 5253: 2D mapping of the physical and chemical properties

Ana Monreal-Ibero, Jeremy R. Walsh, Jose M. Vilchez

ABRIDGED: NGC5253 was previously studied by our group with the aim to elucidate in detail the starburst interaction processes. Some open issues regarding the 2D structure of the ma…

Integral Field Spectroscopy based Hα sizes of local Luminous and Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. A Direct Comparison with high-z Massive Star Forming Galaxies

S. Arribas, L. Colina, A. Alonso-Herrero +5

Aims. We study the analogy between local U/LIRGs and high-z massive SFGs by comparing basic Hα structural characteristics, such as size, and luminosity (and SFR) surface density, i…

The ionized gas in the CALIFA early-type galaxies I. Mapping two representative cases: NGC 6762 and NGC 5966

C. Kehrig, A. Monreal-Ibero, P. Papaderos +18

As part of the CALIFA survey, we conducted a thorough 2D analysis of the ionized gas in two E/S0 galaxies, NGC6762 and NGC5966, aiming to shed light on the nature of their warm ion…
