Local tadpole galaxies: dynamics and metallicity
J. Sanchez Almeida, C. Munoz-Tunon, D. M. Elmegreen +2
Tadpole galaxies, with a bright peripheral clump on a faint tail, are morphological types unusual in the nearby universe but very common early on. Low mass local tadpoles were iden…
SHARDS: an optical spectro-photometric survey of distant galaxies
Pablo G. Perez-Gonzalez, Antonio Cava, Guillermo Barro +26
(Abridged) We present the Survey for High-z Absorption Red and Dead Sources (SHARDS), an ESO/GTC Large Program carried out with GTC/OSIRIS. SHARDS is an ultra-deep optical spectro-…
Local Tadpole Galaxies
Debra Meloy Elmegreen, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Jorge Sanchez Almeida +3
Tadpole galaxies have a giant star-forming region at the end of an elongated intensity distribution. Here we use SDSS data to determine the ages, masses, and surface densities of t…
Relationship between Hubble type and spectroscopic class in local galaxies
J. Sanchez Almeida, J. A. L. Aguerri, C. Munoz-Tunon +1
We compare the Hubble type and the spectroscopic class of the galaxies with spectra in SDSS/DR7. As it is long known, elliptical galaxies tend to be red whereas spiral galaxies ten…
Ionization Conditions in the Central Giant HII Region of NGC 5253
A. Monreal-Ibero, J. M. Vílchez, J. Walsh +1
We are carrying out a detailed 2D spectroscopic study of the central 210 pc X 130 pc of the blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy NGC5253. This contribution presents the ionization condi…
On the Heating Efficiency Derived from Observations of Young Super Star Clusters in M82
Sergiy Silich, Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Ana Torres Campos +2
Here we discuss the mechanical feedback that massive stellar clusters provide to the interstellar medium of their host galaxy. We apply an analytic theory developed in a previous s…
