A characteristic oxygen abundance gradient in galaxy disks unveiled with CALIFA

S. F. Sanchez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, J. Iglesias-Paramo +35

We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of HII regions and associations compiled so far. The catalog comprises more than 7000 ionized regions, extracted from 306 galaxi…

The star formation history of CALIFA galaxies: Radial structures

R. M. González Delgado, E. Pérez, R. Cid Fernandes +24

We study the radial structure of the stellar mass surface density () and stellar population age as a function of the total stellar mass and morphology for a sample of 107 galaxi…

The O3N2 and N2 abundance indicators revisited: improved calibrations based on CALIFA and Te-based literature data

R. A. Marino, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, S. F. Sánchez +31

The use of IFS is since recently allowing to measure the emission line fluxes of an increasingly large number of star-forming galaxies both locally and at high redshift. The main g…

Resolving galaxies in time and space: II: Uncertainties in the spectral synthesis of datacubes

R. Cid Fernandes, R. M. Gonzalez Delgado, R. Garcia Benito +11

In a companion paper we have presented many products derived from the application of the spectral synthesis code STARLIGHT to datacubes from the CALIFA survey, including 2D maps of…

Resolving galaxies in time and space: I: Applying STARLIGHT to CALIFA data cubes

R. Cid Fernandes, E. Perez, R. Garcia Benito +8

Fossil record methods based on spectral synthesis techniques have matured over the past decade, and their application to integrated galaxy spectra fostered substantial advances on…

The Mass-Metallicity relation explored with CALIFA: I. Is there a dependence on the star formation rate?

S. F. Sanchez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, B. Jungwiert +40

We present the results on the study of the global and local M-Z relation based on the first data available from the CALIFA survey (150 galaxies). This survey provides integral fiel…

Aperture corrections for disk galaxy properties derived from the CALIFA survey. Balmer emission lines in spiral galaxies

J. Iglesias-Páramo, J. M. Vílchez, L. Galbany +37

This work investigates the effect of the aperture size on derived galaxy properties for which we have spatially-resolved optical spectra. We focus on some indicators of star format…

An updated MILES stellar library and stellar population models

J. Falcón-Barroso, P. Sánchez-Blázquez, A. Vazdekis +5

(Aims) We present a number of improvements to the MILES library and stellar population models. We correct some small errors in the radial velocities of the stars, measure the spect…

Evolutionary Stellar Population Synthesis with MILES. Part I: The Base Models and a New Line Index System

A. Vazdekis, P. Sánchez-Blázquez, J. Falcón-Barroso +5

[Abridged]. We present SEDs for single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations (SSPs) covering the optical range at resolution 2.3A (FWHM). These SEDs constitute our base model…
