The Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution (EDGE)

EDGE-CALIFA Collaboration

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The EDGE-CALIFA collaboration has obtained resolved IFU and CO spectroscopy for 126 nearby galaxies, selected from the CALIFA main sample. We have assembled the spatially resolved products of the survey into Astropy-compatible pixel tables that reduce the oversampling in the original FITS images and facilitate comparison of pixels across different images. By joining these pixel tables to lower dimensional tables that provide profiles, integrated spectra, or global properties, it is possible to investigate the dependence of star formation rate on both local and global conditions. In this short video talk I provide an overview of EDGE, with examples of the use of the database to conduct analysis and generate plots.
