We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with
a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measuring …

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 …

We present intermediate-resolution optical spectrophotometry of 65 galaxies obtained in
support of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). For each galaxy we obtain …

I review the spatially resolved spectroscopic properties of low-redshift star-forming galaxies
(and their retired counterparts) using results from the most recent optical integral field …

Context. Over the past decade, 3D optical spectroscopy has become the preferred tool for
understanding the properties of galaxies and is now increasingly used to carry out galaxy …

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 …

ABSTRACT We use the Mitchell Spectrograph (formerly VIRUS-P) to observe 12 nearby disk
galaxies. We successfully measure ages in the outer disk in six systems. In three cases …

We present a stellar population analysis of the nearby, face-on, SA (s) c galaxy, NGC 628,
which is part of the PPAK Integral Field Spectroscopy Nearby Galaxies Survey. The data …

We measure the radial profile of the 12 CO (1–0) to H 2 conversion factor (X CO) in NGC
628. The Hα emission from the VENGA integral field spectroscopy is used to map the star …

Aims. Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) is a powerful approach to studying nearby galaxies
since it enables a detailed analysis of their resolved physical properties. Here we present …
