Spatially-resolved analysis of neutral winds, stars and ionized gas kinematics with MEGARA/GTC: new insights on the nearby galaxy UGC 10205

C. Catalán-Torrecilla, Á. Castillo-Morales, A. Gil de Paz +15

We present a comprehensive analysis of the multi-phase structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) and the stellar kinematics in the edge-on nearby galaxy UGC 10205 using integral f…

Star formation in the local Universe from the CALIFA sample. II. Activation and quenching mechanisms in bulges, bars, and disks

C. Catalán-Torrecilla, A. Gil de Paz, A. Castillo-Morales +22

We estimate the current extinction-corrected H star formation rate (SFR) of the different morphological components that shape galaxies (bulges, bars, and disks). We use a multi-…

Arm and interarm abundance gradients in CALIFA spiral galaxies

L. Sánchez-Menguiano, S. F. Sánchez, I. Pérez +23

Spiral arms are the most singular features in disc galaxies. These structures can exhibit different patterns, namely grand design and flocculent arms, with easily distinguishable c…

Observational hints for radial migration in disc galaxies from CALIFA

T. Ruiz-Lara, I. Pérez, E. Florido +22

Context: According to numerical simulations, stars are not always kept at their birth galactocentric distances but migrate. The importance of this radial migration in shaping galac…

Aperture effects on the oxygen abundance determinations from CALIFA data

J. Iglesias-Páramo, J. M. Vílchez, F. F. Rosales-Ortega +23

This paper aims at providing aperture corrections for emission lines in a sample of spiral galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey (CALIFA) database. In part…

Spectroscopic aperture biases in inside-out evolving early-type galaxies from CALIFA

J. M. Gomes, P. Papaderos, J. M. Vílchez +21

Integral field spectroscopy studies based on CALIFA data have recently revealed the presence of ongoing low-level star formation (SF) in the periphery of ~10% of local early-type g…

Spiral-like star-forming patterns in CALIFA early-type galaxies

J. M. Gomes, P. Papaderos, J. M. Vílchez +21

Based on a combined analysis of SDSS imaging and CALIFA integral field spectroscopy data, we report on the detection of faint (24 < μ mag/arcsec < 26) star-forming spiral-a…

Outer-disk reddening and gas-phase metallicities: The CALIFA connection

R. A. Marino, A. Gil de Paz, S. F. Sánchez +27

We study, for the first time in a statistically significant and well-defined sample, the relation between the outer-disk ionized-gas metallicity gradients and the presence of break…

Towards a new classification of galaxies: principal component analysis of CALIFA circular velocity curves

Veselina Kalinova, Dario Colombo, Erik Rosolowsky +16

We present a galaxy classification system for 238 (E1-Sdm) CALIFA (Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area) galaxies based on the shapes and amplitudes of their circular velocity cur…

Star Formation in the Local Universe from the CALIFA sample. I. Calibrating the SFR using IFS data

C. Catalán-Torrecilla, A. Gil de Paz, A. Castillo-Morales +24

The Star Formation Rate (SFR) is one of the main parameters used to analyze the evolution of galaxies through time. The need for recovering the light reprocessed by dust commonly r…

Aperture corrections for disk galaxy properties derived from the CALIFA survey. Balmer emission lines in spiral galaxies

J. Iglesias-Páramo, J. M. Vílchez, L. Galbany +37

This work investigates the effect of the aperture size on derived galaxy properties for which we have spatially-resolved optical spectra. We focus on some indicators of star format…
