Two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of CALIFA galaxies

J. Mendez-Abreu, T. Ruiz-Lara, L. Sanchez-Menguiano +20

We present a two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of 404 galaxies from the CALIFA Data Release 3. They represent all possible galaxies with no clear signs of i…

Stellar kinematics across the Hubble sequence in the CALIFA survey: General properties and aperture corrections

J. Falcón-Barroso, M. Lyubenova, G. van de Ven +32

We present the stellar kinematic maps of a large sample of galaxies from the integral-field spectroscopic survey CALIFA. The sample comprises 300 galaxies displaying a wide range o…

The dependence of oxygen and nitrogen abundances on stellar mass from the CALIFA survey

E. Pérez-Montero, R. García-Benito, J. M. Vílchez +20

We analysed the optical spectra of HII regions extracted from a sample of 350 galaxies of the CALIFA survey. We calculated total O/H abundances and, for the first time, N/O ratios…

Oxygen abundance maps of CALIFA galaxies

I. A. Zinchenko, L. S. Pilyugin, E. K. Grebel +2

We construct maps of the oxygen abundance distribution across the disks of 88 galaxies using CALIFA data release 2 (DR2) spectra. The position of the center of a galaxy (coordinate…

IMF shape constraints from stellar populations and dynamics from CALIFA

M. Lyubenova, I. Martín-Navarro, G. van de Ven +22

In this letter we describe how we use stellar dynamics information to constrain the shape of the stellar IMF in a sample of 27 early-type galaxies from the CALIFA survey. We obtain…

Photoionization models of the CALIFA HII regions. I. Hybrid models

C. Morisset, G. Delgado-Inglada, S. F. Sánchez +7

Photoionization models of HII regions require as input a description of the ionizing SED and of the gas distribution, in terms of ionization parameter U and chemical abundances (e.…

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…

Nearby supernova host galaxies from the CALIFA Survey: II. SN environmental metallicity

L. Galbany, V. Stanishev, A. M. Mourão +16

The metallicity of a supernova (SN) progenitor, together with its mass, is one of the main parameters that rules their outcome. We present a metallicity study of 115 nearby SN host…

Star formation along the Hubble sequence: Radial structure of the star formation of CALIFA galaxies

R. M. González Delgado, R. Cid Fernandes, E. Pérez +21

The aim of this paper is to characterize the radial structure of the star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies in the nearby Universe as represented by the CALIFA survey. The sample un…

Spatially-Resolved Star Formation Main Sequence of Galaxies in the CALIFA Survey

M. Cano-Díaz, S. F. Sánchez, S. Zibetti +17

The "main sequence of galaxies" defined in terms of the total star formation rate vs. the total stellar mass is a well-studied tight relation that has been observ…

Shape of the oxygen abundance profiles in CALIFA face-on spiral galaxies

L. Sánchez-Menguiano, S. F. Sánchez, I. Pérez +25

We measured the gas abundance profiles in a sample of 122 face-on spiral galaxies observed by the CALIFA survey and included all spaxels whose line emission was consistent with sta…
