SDSS-IV MaNGA: drivers of stellar metallicity in nearby galaxies

Justus Neumann, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +12

The distribution of stellar metallicities within and across galaxies is an excellent relic of the chemical evolution across cosmic time. We present a detailed analysis of spatially…

The weak imprint of environment on the stellar populations of galaxies

James Trussler, Roberto Maiolino, Claudia Maraston +4

We investigate the environmental dependence of the stellar populations of galaxies in SDSS DR7. Echoing earlier works, we find that satellites are both more metal-rich (<0.1 dex) a…

The Data Analysis Pipeline for the SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey: Overview

Kyle B. Westfall, Michele Cappellari, Matthew A. Bershady +28

Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) is acquiring integral-field spectroscopy for the largest sample of galaxies to date. By 2020, the MaNGA Survey --- one o…

Both starvation and outflows drive galaxy quenching

James Trussler, Roberto Maiolino, Claudia Maraston +4

Star-forming galaxies can in principle be transformed into passive systems by a multitude of processes that quench star formation, such as the halting of gas accretion (starvation)…

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: Modelling the metallicity gradients of gas and stars - radially dependent metal outflow vs IMF

Jianhui Lian, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +7

In our previous work, we found that only two scenarios are capable of reproducing the observed integrated mass-metallicity relations for the gas and stellar components of local sta…
