Abstract:
This paper describes the third public data release (DR3) of the Calar
Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey. Science-grade quality
data for 667 galaxies are made public, including the 200 galaxies of
the second public data release (DR2). Data were obtained with the
integral-field spectrograph PMAS/PPak mounted on the 3.5m telescope at
the Calar Alto Observatory. Three different spectral setups are
available: i) a low-resolution V500 setup covering the wavelength
range 3745-7500Å (4240-7140Å unvignetted) with a spectral
resolution of 6.0Å (FWHM) for 646 galaxies, ii) a medium-resolution
V1200 setup covering the wavelength range 3650-4840Å (3650-4620Å
unvignetted) with a spectral resolution of 2.3Å (FWHM) for 484
galaxies, and iii) the combination of the cubes from both setups
(called COMBO) with a spectral resolution of 6.0Å and a wavelength
range between 3700-7500Å (3700-7140Å unvignetted) for 446
galaxies. The Main Sample, selected and observed according to the
CALIFA survey strategy covers a redshift range between 0.005 and 0.03,
spans the color-magnitude diagram and probes a wide range of stellar
masses, ionization conditions, and morphological types. The Extension
Sample covers several types of galaxies that are rare in the overall
galaxy population and are therefore not numerous or absent in the
CALIFA Main Sample. All the cubes in the data release were processed
using the latest pipeline, which includes improved versions of the
calibration frames and an even further improved image reconstruction
quality. In total, the third data release contains 1576 datacubes,
including ∼1.5 million independent spectra.
Description:
There are two fundamentally different samples of galaxies in the
CALIFA DR3: (1) Galaxies that were targeted because they were part of
the CALIFA mother sample that is fully described and characterized in
Walcher et al. (2014A&A...569A...1W 2014A&A...569A...1W). This sample is called the CALIFA
Main Sample. (2) The CALIFA Extension Sample, which is a heterogeneous
set of galaxies observed for various reasons as part of different
ancillary science projects within the CALIFA collaboration. The DR3
release is the combination of the Main Sample and the Extension
Sample.
