The CALIFA survey: Status Report

S. F. Sánchez, J. M. Vílchez, C. J. Walcher +5

We present here a brief summary of the status of the on-going CALIFA survey with an em- phasis on the results that have been recently published. In particular, we make a summary of…

Census of HII regions in NGC 6754 derived with MUSE: Constraints on the metal mixing scale

S. F. Sánchez, L. Galbany, E. Pérez +11

We present a study of the HII regions in the galaxy NGC 6754 from a two pointing mosaic comprising 197,637 individual spectra, using Integral Field Spectrocopy (IFS) recently acqui…

Imprints of galaxy evolution on H ii regions Memory of the past uncovered by the CALIFA survey

S. F. Sanchez, E. Perez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega +27

H ii regions in galaxies are the sites of star formation and thus particular places to understand the build-up of stellar mass in the universe. The line ratios of this ionized gas…

Nearby supernova host galaxies from the CALIFA Survey: I. Sample, data analysis, and correlation to star-forming regions

L. Galbany, V. Stanishev, A. M. Mourão +25

[Abridged] We use optical IFS of nearby SN host galaxies provided by the CALIFA Survey with the goal of finding correlations in the environmental parameters at the location of diff…

Ionized gas kinematics of galaxies in the CALIFA survey I: Velocity fields, kinematic parameters of the dominant component, and presence of kinematically distinct gaseous systems

B. Garcia-Lorenzo, I. Marquez, J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros +29

This work provides an overall characterization of the kinematic behavior of the ionized gas of the galaxies included in the Calar Alto Legacy Integral field Area (CALIFA), offering…

CALIFA: a diameter-selected sample for an integral field spectroscopy galaxy survey

C. J. Walcher, L. Wisotzki, S. Bekeraité +48

We describe and discuss the selection procedure and statistical properties of the galaxy sample used by the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey (CALIFA), a public legacy s…

Insights on the stellar mass-metallicity relation from the CALIFA survey

R. M. González Delgado, R. Cid Fernandes, R. García-Benito +27

We use spatially and temporally resolved maps of stellar population properties of 300 galaxies from the CALIFA integral field survey to investigate how the stellar metallicity (Z*)…

Stellar Population gradients in galaxy discs from the CALIFA survey

P. Sanchez-Blazquez, F. Rosales-Ortega, J. Mendez-Abreu +27

While studies of gas-phase metallicity gradients in disc galaxies are common, very little has been done in the acquisition of stellar abundance gradients in the same regions. We pr…

The Mice at play in the CALIFA survey: A case study of a gas-rich major merger between first passage and coalescence

Vivienne Wild, Fabian Rosales-Ortega, Jesus Falcon-Barroso +43

We present optical integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations of the Mice, a major merger between two massive (>10^11Msol) gas-rich spirals NGC4676A and B, observed between fir…

Kinematic alignment of non-interacting CALIFA galaxies: Quantifying the impact of bars on stellar and ionised gas velocity field orientations

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, J. Falcón-Barroso, B. García-Lorenzo +20

We present 80 stellar and ionised gas velocity maps from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey in order to characterize the kinematic orientation of non-interac…
