Why does the Milky Way have a bar?
Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Matthias Steinmetz +3
There is no doubt that the Milky Way is a barred galaxy; however, factors that establish its prominent morphology remain largely elusive and poorly comprehended. In this work, we a…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Trends in [α/Fe] as a Function of Morphology and Environment
Peter J. Watson, Roger L. Davies, Sarah Brough +16
We present a new set of index-based measurements of [/Fe] for a sample of 2093 galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey. Following earlier work, we fit a global relation between [/…
The stellar orbit distribution in present-day galaxies inferred from the CALIFA survey
Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Remco van den Bosch +16
Galaxy formation entails the hierarchical assembly of mass, along with the condensation of baryons and the ensuing, self-regulating star formation. The stars form a collisionless s…
Physical properties of galaxies: toward a consistent comparison between hydrodynamical simulations and SDSS
Giovanni Guidi, Cecilia Scannapieco, C. Jakob Walcher +1
We study the effects of applying observational techniques to derive the properties of simulated galaxies, with the aim of making an unbiased comparison between observations and sim…

R. García-Benito, S. Zibetti, S. F. Sánchez +68
This paper describes the Second Public Data Release (DR2) of the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey. The data for 200 objects are made public, including the 100…
4MOST - 4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Eric Depagne, the 4MOST consortium
4MOST (4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is a spectroscopic facility that will be installed on ESO's VISTA around 2020. The science rationale of this facility are to be foun…
