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…
Detecting Radio-AGN signatures in Red geysers
Namrata Roy, Kevin Bundy, Edmond Cheung +19
A new class of quiescent galaxies harboring possible AGN-driven winds has been discovered using spatially resolved optical spectroscopy from the ongoing SDSS-IV MaNGA survey. These…
A direct test of density wave theory in a grand-design spiral galaxy
Thomas Peterken, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca +5
The exact nature of the arms of spiral galaxies is still an open question. It has been widely assumed that spiral arms in galaxies with two distinct symmetrical arms are the produc…
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: 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…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Spectroscopic Discovery of Strongly Lensed Galaxies
Michael S. Talbot, Joel R. Brownstein, Adam S. Bolton +11
We present a catalogue of 38 spectroscopically detected strong galaxy-galaxy gravitational lens candidates identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV). We were able to…
