Supplementary Data

The tables and utility are constructed by Chown et al. (2020). For any questions regarding these tables, please contact Ryan Chown (chownrj@mcmaster.ca) . A markdown version [README.md] can be saved.

Descriptions

Column descriptions for machine-readable version of Table 6 and the global properties listed in Table 2.

table_global.csv: Global properties of the galaxies in our sample. See Table 2 in the paper for references and descriptions.

Column nameDescription
galname Galaxy name
log_sigma_fuv log(FUV surface density)
log_sigma_nuv log(NUV surface density)
log_sigma_w4 log(WISE W4 surface density)
log_sigma_mstar log(stellar mass surface density)
a_v $A_V$ extinction derived from the Balmer decrement
ba $b/a$
bt Bulge-to-total ratio
metallicity Gas phase metallicity
n Sersic index
ur u-r colour
log_v_disp_bulge Bulge velocity dispersion
log_cosi log(cos inclination)
log_sigma_tir log(total infrared surface density)
log_sigma_sfr log(SFR surface density)
area_kpc2 Optical surface area in kpc^2 (2 * pi * r_e^2). The "sigma" quantities above were divided by this number. To get total log(stellar mass) for example, add log10(area_kpc2) to log_sigma_mstar. The effective radius r_e (half-light i-band radius) was taken from CALIFA photometry done by Gilhuly & Courteau (2018) .
nx Number of pixels in the x-direction (see extract_cutout.py as an example of how nx, ny should be used)
ny Number of pixels in the y-direction
leda_ra RA J2000 from LEDA (deg)
leda_dec Dec J2000 from LEDA (deg)
xc x-coordinate (0-indexed) of center of field (leda_ra, leda_dec)
yc y-coordinate (0-indexed) of center of field (leda_ra, leda_dec)

table_resolved.csv: Quantities derived from spatially-resolved optical IFU and molecular gas maps. Each row corresponds to one pixel. See extract_cutout.py for examples of how to turn quantities in this table into 2-dimensional images for each galaxy. See Table 6 in the paper.
