The SAMI Galaxy Survey: the link between [α/Fe] and kinematic morphology

We explore a sample of 1492 galaxies with measurements of the mean stellar population properties and the spin parameter proxy, λRe⁠, drawn from the SAMI Galaxy Survey. We fit a global [α/Fe]–σ relation, finding that [α/Fe]=(0.395±0.010)log10(σ)−(0.627±0.002)⁠. We observe an anti-correlation between...
