SDSS-IV MaNGA: Properties of galaxies with kinematically decoupled stellar and gaseous components

Yifei Jin, Yanmei Chen, Yong Shi +30

We study the properties of 66 galaxies with kinematically misaligned gas and stars from MaNGA survey. The fraction of kinematically misaligned galaxies varies with galaxy physical…

The growth of the central region by acquisition of counter-rotating gas in star-forming galaxies

Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi, Christy A. Tremonti +29

Galaxies grow through both internal and external processes. In about 10% of nearby red galaxies with little star formation, gas and stars are counter-rotating, demonstrating the im…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: A serendipitous observation of a potential gas accretion event

Edmond Cheung, David V. Stark, Song Huang +24

The nature of warm, ionized gas outside of galaxies may illuminate several key galaxy evolutionary processes. A serendipitous observation by the MaNGA survey has revealed a large,…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Faint quenched galaxies I- Sample selection and evidence for environmental quenching

Samantha J. Penny, Karen L. Masters, Anne-Marie Weijmans +21

Using kinematic maps from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we reveal that the majority of low-mass quenched g…

SDSS IV MaNGA - The spatially resolved transition from star formation to quiescence

Francesco Belfiore, Roberto Maiolino, Claudia Maraston +19

Using spatially resolved spectroscopy from SDSS-IV MaNGA we have demonstrated that low ionisation emission line regions (LIERs) in local galaxies result from photoionisation by hot…
