A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day: [Ce/Mg] Is Not a Universal Chemical Clock

Liam O. Dubay, Jennifer A. Johnson, James W. Johnson +14

The ratio of -process to -element enrichment () has been proposed as a ``chemical clock,'' or a means to estimate stellar ages. However, the age-- relation vari…

SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): Helix Nebula public data, Data Analysis Pipeline data products

S. F. Sánchez, J. E. Méndez-Delgado, A. Mejía-Narváez +21

We present a spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) using data from the SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM), by applying the recently developed LVM D…

The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V

Andrés Almeida, Scott F. Anderson, Maria Argudo-Fernández +151

The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific progr…

The miniJPAS survey: a preview of the Universe in 56 colours

S. Bonoli, A. Marín-Franch, J. Varela +166

The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) will soon start to scan thousands of square degrees of the northern extragalactic sky with a unique…

SDSS IV MaNGA: Characterizing Non-Axisymmetric Motions in Galaxy Velocity Fields Using the Radon Transform

David V. Stark, Kevin A. Bundy, Kyle Westfall +12

We show how the Radon transform (defined as a series of line integrals through an image at different orientations and offsets from the origin) can be used as a simple, non-parametr…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Global stellar population and gradients for about 2000 early-type and spiral galaxies on the mass-size plane

Hongyu Li, Shude Mao, Michele Cappellari +12

We perform full spectrum fitting stellar population analysis and Jeans Anisotropic modelling (JAM) of the stellar kinematics for about 2000 early-type galaxies (ETGs) and spiral ga…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: variation of the stellar initial mass function in spiral and early-type galaxies

Hongyu Li, Junqiang Ge, Shude Mao +10

We perform Jeans anisotropic modeling (JAM) on elliptical and spiral galaxies from the MaNGA DR13 sample. By comparing the stellar mass-to-light ratios estimated from stellar popul…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Impact of Diffuse Ionized Gas on Emission-line Ratios, Interpretation of Diagnostic Diagrams, and Gas Metallicity Measurements

Kai Zhang, Renbin Yan, Kevin Bundy +24

Diffuse Ionized Gas (DIG) is prevalent in star-forming galaxies. Using a sample of 365 nearly face-on star-forming galaxies observed by MaNGA, we demonstrate how DIG in star-formin…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: environmental dependence of stellar age and metallicity gradients in nearby galaxies

Zheng Zheng, Huiyuan Wang, Junqiang Ge +20

We present a study on the stellar age and metallicity distributions for 1105 galaxies using the STARLIGHT software on MaNGA integral field spectra. We derive age and metallicity gr…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Bulge-Disc Decomposition of IFU Datacubes (BUDDI)

Evelyn J. Johnston, Boris Haeussler, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca +12

With the availability of large integral-field unit (IFU) spectral surveys of nearby galaxies, there is now the potential to extract spectral information from across the bulges and…

The growth of the central region by acquisition of counter-rotating gas in star-forming galaxies

Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi, Christy A. Tremonti +29

Galaxies grow through both internal and external processes. In about 10% of nearby red galaxies with little star formation, gas and stars are counter-rotating, demonstrating the im…

Do galaxy global relationships emerge from local ones? The SDSS IV MaNGA surface mass density-metallicity relation

Jorge K. Barrera-Ballesteros, Timothy M. Heckman, Guangtun B. Zhu +12

We present the stellar surface mass density {\it vs.} gas metallicity () relation for more than 500,000 spatially-resolved star-forming resolution elements (spaxels) from a…
