Implications of a time-varying Galactic potential for determinations of the dynamical surface density
Tim Haines, Elena D'Onghia, Benoit Famaey +2
Recent studies have shown that the passage of a massive satellite through the disk of a spiral galaxy can induce vertical wobbles in the disk and produce features such as in-plane…
Resolved star formation and molecular gas properties of green valley galaxies: a first look with ALMA and MaNGA
Lihwai Lin, Francesco Belfiore, Hsi-An Pan +21
We study the role of cold gas in quenching star formation in the green valley by analysing ALMA CO (1-0) observations of three galaxies with resolved optical spectroscopy fr…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
Testing the Modern Merger Hypothesis via the Assembly of Massive Blue Elliptical Galaxies in the Local Universe
Tim Haines, D. H. McIntosh, S. F. Sánchez +2
The modern merger hypothesis offers a method of forming a new elliptical galaxy through merging two equal-mass, gas-rich disk galaxies fuelling a nuclear starburst followed by effi…
CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey. III. Second public data release
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…
A new population of recently quenched elliptical galaxies in the SDSS
Daniel H. McIntosh, Cory Wagner, Andrew Cooper +8
We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to investigate the properties of massive elliptical galaxies in the local Universe (z\leq0.08) that have unusually blue optical colors. Through…
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…
CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey. II. First public data release
CALIFA collaboration, B. Husemann, K. Jahnke +74
We present the first public data release of the CALIFA survey. It consists of science-grade optical datacubes for the first 100 of eventually 600 nearby (0.005<z<0.03) galaxies, ob…
CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey: I. Survey presentation
S. F. Sanchez, R. C. Kennicutt, A. Gil de Paz +69
We present here the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey, which has been designed to provide a first step in this direction.We summarize the survey goals and desig…
