Probing the evolution of galaxies since z ~ 1 with the Tully-Fisher relation by Tiley, A

“…First, we use samples of galaxies spatially resolved in Hα emission with integral field unit observations from the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS) at <em>z</em> ≈ 1 and the Sydney-Australian-Astronomical-Observatory Multi- object Integral-Field Spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey at <em>z</em> ≈ 0. …”

Stellar populations in the SAMI Galaxy Survey by Watson, PJ

“…<p>We present a set of line index-based measurements of the relative α-element abundance, [α/Fe], for up to 2097 galaxies in the Sydney-Australian-Astronomical-Observatory Multi-object Integral-field Spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey using aperture spectra normalised to the effective radius R_e. …”
