Stellar population properties of individual massive early-type galaxies at 1.4 < z < 2

I. Lonoce, C. Maraston, D. Thomas +4

We analyse publicly available, individual spectra of four, massive () early-type galaxies with redshifts in the range 1.4 < z < 2 to determine their stellar con…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Environmental dependence of the Mgb/<Fe>-sigma_* relation for nearby galaxies

Zheng Zheng, Cheng Li, Shude Mao +13

We use a sample of ~3000 galaxies from the MaNGA MPL-7 internal data release to study the alpha abundance distribution within low-redshift galaxies. We use the Lick index ratio Mgb…

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…

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…

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…

Firefly (Fitting IteRativEly For Likelihood analYsis): a full spectral fitting code

David M. Wilkinson, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Goddard +2

We present a new spectral fitting code, Firefly, for deriving the stellar population properties of stellar systems. Firefly is a chi-squared minimisation fitting code that fits com…
