No direct coupling between bending of galaxy disc stellar age and light profiles

T. Ruiz-Lara, I. Pérez, E. Florido +19

We study the stellar properties of 44 face-on spiral galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey via full spectrum fitting techniques. We compare the age profile…

Outer-disk reddening and gas-phase metallicities: The CALIFA connection

R. A. Marino, A. Gil de Paz, S. F. Sánchez +27

We study, for the first time in a statistically significant and well-defined sample, the relation between the outer-disk ionized-gas metallicity gradients and the presence of break…

Star Formation in the Local Universe from the CALIFA sample. I. Calibrating the SFR using IFS data

C. Catalán-Torrecilla, A. Gil de Paz, A. Castillo-Morales +24

The Star Formation Rate (SFR) is one of the main parameters used to analyze the evolution of galaxies through time. The need for recovering the light reprocessed by dust commonly r…

The CALIFA survey across the Hubble sequence: Spatially resolved stellar population properties in galaxies

R. M. González Delgado, R. García-Benito, E. Pérez +32

This paper characterizes the radial structure of stellar population properties of galaxies in the nearby universe, based on 300 galaxies from the CALIFA survey. The sample covers a…

Tracing kinematic (mis)alignments in CALIFA merging galaxies: Stellar and ionized gas kinematic orientations at every merger stage

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, B. García-Lorenzo, J. Falcón-Barroso +27

We present spatially resolved stellar and/or ionized gas kinematic properties for a sample of 103 interacting galaxies, tracing all merger stages: close companions, pairs with morp…

The incidence of bar-like kinematic flows in CALIFA galaxies

L. Holmes, K. Spekkens, S. F. Sánchez +8

We carry out a direct search for bar-like non-circular flows in intermediate-inclination, gas-rich disk galaxies with a range of morphological types and photometric bar classificat…

IMF - metallicity: a tight local relation revealed by the CALIFA survey

Ignacio Martín-Navarro, Alexandre Vazdekis, Francesco La Barbera +13

Variations in the stellar initial mass function (IMF) have been invoked to explain the spectroscopic and dynamical properties of early-type galaxies. However, no observations have…

Central star formation and metallicity in CALIFA interacting galaxies

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, S. F. Sánchez, B. García-Lorenzo +15

We use optical integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) data from 103 nearby galaxies at different stages of the merging event, from close pairs to merger remnants provided by the CALIFA…

Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies: I. Fast bars across the Hubble sequence

J. A. L. Aguerri, J. Méndez-Abreu, J. Falcón-Barroso +25

The bar pattern speed () is defined as the rotational frequency of the bar, and it determines the bar dynamics. Several methods have been proposed for measuring $Ω_{\rm…
