The Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey: spatial resolved properties

Abstract

We present the analysis performed using the pyPipe3D pipeline for the 895 galaxies that comprises the eCALIFA data release Sanchez et al. submitted, data with a significantly improved spatial resolution (1.0-1.5"/FWHM). We include a description of (i) the analysis performed by the pipeline, (ii) the adopted datamodel for the derived spatially resolved properties and (iii) the catalog of integrated, characteristics and slope of the radial gradients for a set of observational and physical parameters derived for each galaxy. We illustrate the results of the analysis (i) using the NGC\,2906 as an archetypal galaxy, showing the spatial distribution of the different derived parameters and exploring in detail the properties of the ionized gas, and (ii) showing distribution of the spatial resolved ionized gas across the classical [OIII]/H$\beta$ vs. [NII]/H$\alpha$ for the whole galaxy sample. In general our results agree with previous published ones, however, tracing radial patterns and segregating individual ionized structures is improved when using the current dataset. All the individual galaxy dataproducts and the catalog discussed along this article are distributed as part of the eCALIFA data release http://ifs.astroscu.unam.mx/CALIFA_WEB/public_html/Comment: 47 pages, 8 tables, 9 figures, submitted the 12th of April 2023 to RMxA
