CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey : I. Survey presentation
- S. Sánchez, R. Kennicutt, B. Ziegler
- Physics
- 3 November 2011
The final product of galaxy evolution through cosmic time is the population of galaxies in the local universe. These galaxies are also those that can be studied in most detail, thus providing a…
Large scale structure of the ionized gas in the magellanic clouds
- R. Kennicutt, F. Bresolin, D. Bomans, G. Bothun, I. Thompson

- 1 February 1995
Mass-metallicity relation explored with CALIFA I. Is there a dependence on the star-formation rate?
- S. Sánchez, F. Rosales-Ortega, the Califa collaboration
- Physics
- 8 April 2013
We studied the global and local ℳ-Z relation based on the first data available from the CALIFA survey (150 galaxies). This survey provides integral field spectroscopy of the complete optical extent…
Magnetic fields in Local Group dwarf irregulars
- K. Chyży, M. Weżgowiec, R. Beck, D. Bomans
- Physics
- 24 January 2011
Aims. We wish to clarify whether strong magnetic fields can be effectively generated in typically low-mass dwarf galaxies and to assess the role of dwarf galaxies in the magnetization of the…
GaBoDS: The Garching-Bonn Deep Survey; IV. Methods for the Image reduction of multi-chip Cameras
- T. Erben, M. Schirmer, J. Miralles
- Computer Science
- 9 January 2005
A thorough description of the algorithms used and a careful evaluation of the accuracies reached is given on the removal of the instrumental signature, the astrometric alignment, photometric calibration and the characterisation of final co-added mosaics.
LUMINOUS AND VARIABLE STARS IN M31 AND M33. II. LUMINOUS BLUE VARIABLES, CANDIDATE LBVs, Fe ii EMISSION LINE STARS, AND OTHER SUPERGIANTS
- R. Humphreys, K. Weis, K. Davidson, D. Bomans, B. Burggraf
- Physics
- 2 July 2014
An increasing number of non-terminal eruptions are being found in the numerous surveys for optical transients. Very little is known about these giant eruptions, their progenitors and their…
EXPANSION OF THE SUPERNOVA REMNANT RCW 103
A new CCD image of the supernova remnant RCW 103 was taken in 1995 to compare with a photographic plate taken in 1970. We calculated the proper-motion expansion of the outer edge and several…
Star formation in the local Universe from the CALIFA sample. I. Calibrating the SFR using integral field spectroscopy data
- C. Catal'an-Torrecilla, A. Paz, the Califa collaboration
- Physics
- 14 July 2015
Context. 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 requires…
Imprints of galaxy evolution on H II regions - Memory of the past uncovered by the CALIFA survey
- S. Sánchez, E. Pérez, the Califa collaboration
- Physics
- 29 September 2014
Context. H II regions in galaxies are the sites of star formation, so they are special places for understanding the build-up of stellar mass in the universe. The line ratios of this ionized gas are…
The large-scale environment of low surface brightness galaxies
- S. Rosenbaum, E. Krusch, D. Bomans, R. Dettmar
- Physics
- 27 August 2009
Context. The exact formation scenarios and evolutionary processes that led to the existence of the class of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBs) have not yet been understood completely. There is…
