The ages and metallicities of galaxies in the local universe

Summary

This page contains a link to the tables referenced in "The ages and metallicities of galaxies in the local universe" by Gallazzi et al (2005). The table contain the full set of objects, 261054, and is matched to the star formation and gas-phase metallcity tables provided on this site. Please see the paper for details about the determination of these quantities and any caveats that should be kept in mind when using these data.

Stellar metallicities

This table contains the estimates of stellar metallicities with the columns having the following meaning:

Fortran format: format(1x,i5,1x,i8,1x,i5,6(1x,f10.4))

 column 1: plate ID
 column 2: MJD
 column 3: fiber ID
 column 4: 2.5 percentile of likelihood distribution of
           stellar metallicity
 column 5: 16 percentile
 column 6: median of likelihood distribution of 
           stellar metallicity (log Z)
 column 7: 84 percentile
 column 8: 97.5 percentile
 column 9: mode of the distribution

r-band weighted ages

This table contains the estimates of r-band weighted ages with the same format and the same meaning of the columns as for the stellar metallicity catalogue. The units are log yr.

Stellar mass estimates

This table contains the estimates of the stellar mass in units of log solar mass from the model fits. The columns have the same meaning as for the stellar metallicity catalogue.
