The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Towards a unified dynamical scaling relation for galaxies of all types
L. Cortese, L. M. R. Fogarty, I. -T. Ho +27
We take advantage of the first data from the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field (SAMI) Galaxy Survey to investigate the relation between the kinematics of gas and stars, and st…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): The unimodal nature of the dwarf galaxy population
Smriti Mahajan, Michael J. Drinkwater, S. Driver +9
In this paper we aim to (i) test the number of statistically distinct classes required to classify the local galaxy population, and, (ii) identify the differences in the physical a…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Galaxy close-pairs, mergers, and the future fate of stellar mass
A. S. G. Robotham, S. P. Driver, L. J. M. Davies +28
We use a highly complete subset of the GAMA-II redshift sample to fully describe the stellar mass dependence of close-pairs and mergers between 10^8 Msun and 10^12 Msun. Using the…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: instrument specification and target selection
J. J. Bryant, M. S. Owers, A. S. G. Robotham +54
The SAMI Galaxy Survey will observe 3400 galaxies with the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) in a 3-year survey whi…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Cubism and covariance, putting round pegs into square holes
R. Sharp, J. T. Allen, L. M. R. Fogarty +46
We present a methodology for the regularisation and combination of sparse sampled and irregularly gridded observations from fibre-optic multi-object integral-field spectroscopy. Th…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Testing galaxy formation models through the most massive galaxies in the Universe
P. Oliva-Altamirano, S. Brough, C. Lidman +26
We have analysed the growth of Brightest Group Galaxies and Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BGGs/BCGs) over the last 3 billion years using a large sample of 883 galaxies from the Galax…
Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Fine filaments of galaxies detected within voids
Mehmet Alpaslan, Aaron S. G. Robotham, Danail Obreschkow +15
Based on data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, we report on the discovery of structures that we refer to as `tendrils' of galaxies: coherent, thin chains of galaxie…
