J-PAS: The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey

N. Benitez, R. Dupke, M. Moles +149

The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is a narrow band, very wide field Cosmological Survey to be carried out from the Javalambre Observat…

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…

Recovering physical properties from narrow-band photometry

William Schoenell, Roberto Cid Fernandes, Narciso Benítez +1

Our aim in this work is to answer, using simulated narrow-band photometry data, the following general question: What can we learn about galaxies from these new generation cosmologi…

Constraining jet production scenarios by studies of Narrow-Line-Radio-Galaxies

Marek Sikora, Grażyna Stasińska, Dorota Kozieł-Wierzbowska +2

We study a large sample of narrow-line radio galaxies (NLRGs) with extended radio structures. Using 1.4 GHz radio luminosities, , narrow optical emission line luminosities…

A comprehensive classification of galaxies in the SDSS: How to tell true from fake AGN?

R. Cid Fernandes, G. Stasinska, A. Mateus +1

We use the W_Ha versus [NII]/Ha (WHAN) diagram to provide a comprehensive emission-line classification of SDSS galaxies. This classification is able to cope with the large populati…

Beware of fake AGNs

G. Stasinska, N. Vale Asari, R. Cid Fernandes

In the BPT diagram, the distribution of the emission-line galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) evokes the wings of a seagull. Traditionally, galaxies in the right wing…

Alternative diagnostic diagrams and the "forgotten" population of weak line galaxies in the SDSS

R. Cid Fernandes, G. Stasinska, M. S. Schlickmann +5

A numerous population of weak line galaxies (WLGs) is often left out of statistical studies on emission line galaxies (ELGs) due to the absence of an adequate classification scheme…

Emission line taxonomy and the nature of AGN-looking galaxies in the SDSS

Roberto Cid Fernandes, Grazyna Stasinska, Natalia Vale Asari +3

Massive spectroscopic surveys like the SDSS have revolutionized the way we study AGN and their relations to the galaxies they live in. A first step in any such study is to define s…

What stellar populations can tell us about the evolution of the mass-metallicity relation in SDSS galaxies

N. Vale Asari, G. Stasinska, R. Cid Fernandes +4

During the last three decades, many papers have reported the existence of a luminosity-metallicity or mass-metallicity (M-Z) relation for all kinds of galaxies: The more massive ga…
