Anomalously low metallicity regions in MaNGA star-forming galaxies: Accretion Caught in Action?

Hsiang-Chih Hwang, Jorge K. Barrera-Ballesteros, Timothy M. Heckman +14

We use data from 1222 late-type star-forming galaxies in the SDSS IV MaNGA survey to identify regions in which the gas-phase metallicity is anomalously-low compared to expectations…

The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…

Marvin: A Toolkit for Streamlined Access and Visualization of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Data Set

Brian Cherinka, Brett H. Andrews, José Sánchez-Gallego +11

The Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, one of three core programs of the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV), is producing a massi…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: local and global chemical abundance patterns in early-type galaxies

Taniya Parikh, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +6

Chemical enrichment signatures strongly constrain galaxy formation and evolution, and a detailed understanding of abundance patterns provides clues regarding the nucleosynthetic pr…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Spatially resolved star-formation histories and the connection to galaxy physical properties

K. Rowlands, T. Heckman, V. Wild +11

A key task of observational extragalactic astronomy is to determine where -- within galaxies of diverse masses and morphologies -- stellar mass growth occurs, how it depends on gal…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Spatially Resolved Stellar Initial Mass Function in 400 Early-Type Galaxies

Taniya Parikh, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +20

MaNGA provides the opportunity to make precise spatially resolved measurements of the IMF slope in galaxies owing to its unique combination of spatial resolution, wavelength covera…
