Star formation quenching stages of active and non-active galaxies

چکیده

The mechanisms that bring galaxies to strongly reduce their star formation activity (star-formation quenching) is still poorly understood. To better study galaxy evolution, we propose a classification based on the maps of ionised hydrogen distribution, traced by kpc-resolved, equivalent width H$\alpha$ maps, and nuclear using information from BPT diagnostic diagrams. Using these tools, group sample 238 CALIFA survey in six quenching stages (QS): objects dominated recent formation; systems present quiescent-nuclear-ring structure centre; are centrally-quiescent; with no clear pattern ionisation gas distribution - mixed; posses only few star-forming regions nearly-retired, or completely quiescent fully-retired. Regarding activity, further divide into two groups active host weak strong AGN centre, non-active objects. Galaxies grouped stage classes occupy specific locations star-formation-rate versus stellar mass diagram. "Blue cloud" populated galaxies, "Green valley" centrally-quiescent mixed systems, "Red sequence" nearly- fully-retired Generally, show properties, comparable counterparts at same stages, except for AGN-hosting systems. degree star-formation increases along emission-line sequence proposed reinforce "inside-out" scenario, which foresees suppression begins central galaxies.

AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies

We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...

Star Formation Quenching in Quasar Host Galaxies

Galaxy evolution is likely to be shaped by negative feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN). In the whole range of redshifts and luminosities studied so far, galaxies hosting an AGN frequently show fast and extended outflows consisting in both ionized and molecular gas. Such outflows could potentially quench the start formation within the host galaxy, but a clear evidence of negative feedbac...

Constraints on the Star Formation Rate in Active Galaxies

The [O II] λ3727 emission line is often used as an indicator of star formation rate in extragalactic surveys, and it can be an equally effective tracer of star formation in systems containing luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In order to investigate the ongoing star formation rate of the host galaxies of AGNs, we measured the strength of [O II] and other optical emission lines from a larg...

Star Formation in Active Galaxies: A Spectroscopic Perspective

I review the relationship between star formation and black hole building, based on spectroscopic observations of the stellar population in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and their host galaxies. My emphasis is on large, well-defined local samples of AGNs, whose optical continua are dominated by starlight. I summarize the spectroscopic tools used to characterize their stellar content. Surveys of ...

Quenching of Star Formation

In the last decade we have seen an enormous increase in the size and quality of spectroscopic galaxy surveys, both at low and high redshift. New statistical techniques to analyse large portions of galaxy spectra are now finding favour over traditional index based methods. Here we will review a new robust and iterative Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm, which solves several common iss...
