SDSS-IV MaNGA: how do star-formation histories affect gas-phase abundances?

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Vivienne Wild, Kate Rowlands +2

Gas-phase abundances in galaxies are the products of those galaxies' evolutionary histories. The star-formation history (SFH) of a region might therefore be expected to influence t…

Chemical evolution of local post-starburst galaxies: Implications for the mass-metallicity relation

Ho-Hin Leung, Vivienne Wild, Michail Papathomas +5

We use the stellar fossil record to constrain the stellar metallicity evolution and star-formation histories of the post-starburst (PSB) regions within 45 local post-starburst gala…

Bayesian bulge-disc decomposition of galaxy images

J. J. Argyle, J. Méndez-Abreu, V. Wild +1

We introduce PHI, a fully Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithm designed for the structural decomposition of galaxy images. PHI uses a triple layer approach to effectively an…

Morpho-kinematic properties of field S0 bulges in the CALIFA survey

J. Mendez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, J. Falcon-Barroso +22

We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) survey CALIFA. We combine an accurate two-dimensional (2D) multi-component photometric dec…

Two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of CALIFA galaxies

J. Mendez-Abreu, T. Ruiz-Lara, L. Sanchez-Menguiano +20

We present a two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of 404 galaxies from the CALIFA Data Release 3. They represent all possible galaxies with no clear signs of i…

Stellar kinematics across the Hubble sequence in the CALIFA survey: General properties and aperture corrections

J. Falcón-Barroso, M. Lyubenova, G. van de Ven +32

We present the stellar kinematic maps of a large sample of galaxies from the integral-field spectroscopic survey CALIFA. The sample comprises 300 galaxies displaying a wide range o…

The VLT LEGA-C Spectroscopic Survey: The Physics of Galaxies at a Lookback Time of 7 Gyr

A. van der Wel, K. Noeske, R. Bezanson +17

The Large Early Galaxy Census (LEGA-C) is a Public Spectroscopic Survey of -band selected galaxies at redshifts with stellar masses M_star > 1e10M_sun, co…

Shape asymmetry: a morphological indicator for automatic detection of galaxies in the post-coalescence merger stages

M. M. Pawlik, V. Wild, C. J. Walcher +5

We present a new morphological indicator designed for automated recognition of galaxies with faint asymmetric tidal features suggestive of an ongoing or past merger. We use this ne…

Tracing kinematic (mis)alignments in CALIFA merging galaxies: Stellar and ionized gas kinematic orientations at every merger stage

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, B. García-Lorenzo, J. Falcón-Barroso +27

We present spatially resolved stellar and/or ionized gas kinematic properties for a sample of 103 interacting galaxies, tracing all merger stages: close companions, pairs with morp…

The evolution of the cold interstellar medium in galaxies following a starburst

K. Rowlands, V. Wild, N. Nesvadba +4

We present the evolution of dust and molecular gas properties in a sample of 11 starburst to post-starburst (PSB) galaxies selected to span an age sequence from ongoing…

The effects of spatial resolution on Integral Field Spectrograph surveys at different redshifts. The CALIFA perspective

D. Mast, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, S. F. Sanchez +27

Over the past decade, 3D optical spectroscopy has become the preferred tool for understanding the properties of galaxies and is now increasingly used to carry out galaxy surveys. L…

The nature of LINER galaxies: Ubiquitous hot old stars and rare accreting black holes

R. Singh, G. van de Ven, K. Jahnke +19

Galaxies, which often contain ionised gas, sometimes also exhibit a so-called low-ionisation nuclear emission line region (LINER). For 30 years this was attributed to a central mas…
