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 name | Description |
---|---|
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.
