Abstract:
We analysed the stellar population properties of a well-defined sample
of 552 galaxies at redshift 0.6<z<0.77 drawn from the LEGA-C
spectroscopic survey. This paper is the first of a series, and it is
aimed at i) presenting the catalogue of revised absorption indices for
LEGA-C DR3 and of the inferred physical parameter estimates while
describing their systematic uncertainties and at ii) deriving
benchmark scaling relations for the general massive galaxy population
at intermediate redshift. We estimated light-weighted mean ages and
stellar metallicities through careful analysis of key absorption
features in the stellar continuum spectra of the galaxies coupled with
photometry. The observables were interpreted in a Bayesian framework
with a comprehensive library of model spectra based on stochastic star
formation histories, chemical enrichment histories, and dust
attenuations. We discuss various sources of systematic uncertainties
within our method as well as systematic differences with results from
other spectral fitting approaches. We derived volume-weighted scaling
relations connecting light-weighted mean ages and stellar
metallicities with galaxy stellar mass for the general galaxy
population at =0.7 and masses >1010M☉. We find the
downsizing trends observed in the local Universe to be already in
place 6Gyr ago. We also observe a bimodal distribution of
light-weighted ages as a function of mass, transitioning around
1011M☉. Such a bimodality is not observed in the stellar
metallicity-mass relation, which changes from a steep to a flat regime
across Mstar∼1010.8M☉. Similar trends in age and metallicity
also emerge as a function of velocity dispersion, but with a sharper
transition from young to old around log(sigmastar)=2.3. Differences
with respect to the trends as a function of stellar mass suggest that
age is primarily dependent on velocity dispersion below and above the
transition regime, while both the stellar mass and the depth of the
total gravitational potential well (as traced by the velocity
dispersion) contribute to stellar metallicity. We release the
catalogues of revised absorption index measurements for LEGA-C DR3
used in this work and of the inferred stellar population physical
parameters to public repositories.
Description:
We provide three catalogs matched to the LEGA-C DR3 general catalog,
containing measurements of the absorption indices on the emission-line
subtracted LEGA-C spectra and estimates of stellar population physical
parameters. For the absorption indices we provide two catalogs: one
that contains index measurements performed on the individual
emission-line subtracted spectra; one that contains index measurements
obtained by combining duplicate observations when available. A
separate catalog provides estimates of stellar population physical
parameters as derived with BaStA using duplicate-combined index
measurements (this paper), with Prospector (Nersesian et al.,
2025A&A...695A..86N 2025A&A...695A..86N) and Bagpipes (Kaushal et al., 2024ApJ...961..118K 2024ApJ...961..118K)
both using the original individual spectra, combined with photometric
information. Physical parameters include stellar mass, light- and
mass-weighted ages, light- and mass-weighted stellar metallicities,
dust attenuation. Additionally, we provide flags for sample selections
and completeness weights as in Gallazzi et al. (Paper I and
II, 2026A&A...708A.290G 2026A&A...708A.290G) and SFR estimates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): Comb_dupl=1 if the index measurements are the error-weighted mean of
duplicate observations for the same galaxy. The reported index measurements
for all duplicate observations of the same galaxy are the same. Comb_dupl=0
if no duplicate observations have been combined and the index measurement
comes directly from the spectrum.
Note (2): This flag is meaningful only when comb_dupl=1. In this case
use_dupl=1 means the spectrum is the one to be selected among the
available duplicates of a given galaxy; use_dupl=0 if there are no usable
duplicates or if there is already another entry selected for the same
galaxy.
Note (3): This quantity is equal to SNRF4000 (the S/N at the rest-frame
4000Å of the individual spectrum as in DR3) if there are no usable
duplicate observations. Otherwise, and in combination with use_dupl=1,
it is the squared sum of the SNRF4000 of the individual duplicate
observations.
Note (4): Set to --- if there is no duplicate observation.

Note (1): Bit-map storing the information about which absorption indices have
been used in the BaStA fit. The correspondence between indices and bit is
the following: bit 0= Hbeta; 1= D4000n; 2= MgFe_prime, 3= Mg2Fe, 4= HdHg,
5= Hdelta_A, 6= Hgamma_A, 7= MgFe50_PRIME, 8= MgFe52_PRIME. For example,
to check whether MgFe_prime was used in the fit, the following condition
must be satisfied:
(BASTAIDXUSEMAP and uint(2.^2)) eq uint(2.^2)
Note (2): Stellar metallicities from BaStA (this paper) are in log and in
units of Zsun=0.0154
Note (3): Ages are given in units of log(yr)
Note (4): Statistical weights to correct for incompleteness associated to the
selection of the silver/golden sample. These weights are defined in the
plane of U-V color and absolute g-band luminosity, as described in
the paper. These weights are applicable only to galaxies belonging to
the silver/golden sample, as defined in the flagsilver/flaggolden entries.
For a full volume- and completeness weighing, these weights should be
multiplied by TCOR provided in the general LEGA-C DR3 catalog.
Note (5): Flag to select galaxies belonging to the silver/golden sample.
Meaning: 1= in silver/golden sample; 0= not in silver/golden sample. These
flags already account for the general parent sample selection: PRIMARY=1,
FLAG_SPEC=0, SIGMASTARSPRIME>0 (where primary, flag_spec and
sigmastarsprime come from the LEGA-C DR3 catalog). Silver galaxies are
galaxies in the parent sample that satisfy the requirements on availability
of absorption features measurement as described in Gallazzi+2026a; golden
galaxies are those additionally satisfying the S/N requirement SNRF4000>20
(or SNR_DUPL>20 for duplicate-combined measurements). Moreover, these flags
already account for duplicate observations (see Note 7). Therefore by using
flag_silver or flag_golden one selects unique galaxies belonging to the
silver or golden sample.
Note (6): Flag for quiescent/star-forming galaxies based on a cut in specific
SFR, where SFR comes from UV+24um calibration (see Note 9). Value is 1 if
quiescent/star-forming. To select e.g. golden quiescent galaxies one should
require flag_golden eq 1 AND flag_quiescent eq 1.
Note (7): When NDUPL is larger than 1 it means that there are duplicate
observations for that galaxy. The flag USE_DUPL (in absidx_d.dat) informs
whether the corresponding spectroscopic entry is the one to be used in case
of duplicate observations (USE_DUPL=1). To select unique galaxies, one
should require:
NDUPL eq 1 or (NDUPL gt 1 and USE_DUPL eq 1). These requirements are
already accounted for if one uses the flag_silver or flag_golden flags.
Note (8): (Log of) star formation rate derived from UV and 24um luminosities as
described in Gallazzi+2026b.
Note (9): The (log) specific star formation rate is obtained by dividing the SFR
from UV+24um by the stellar mass estimated with BaStA
(SFR_UVIR - BASTALOGMP50)
Note (10): Flag to select galaxies into quiescent/star-forming based on the UVJ
plane (see van der Wel et al., 2016ApJS..223...29V 2016ApJS..223...29V, Gallazzi et al.,
Paper II, 2026A&A...708A.290G 2026A&A...708A.290G, Cat. J/A+A/708/A290).
1: quiescent; 0: star-forming.
Note (11): Stellar population parameters as derived with Prospector fitting the
LEGA-C spectra plus photometry as described in Nersesian et al.,
2025A&A...695A..86N 2025A&A...695A..86N. Stellar metallicity is given in units of Zsun=0.02
(note that the normalization is different from the one used in the BaStA
estimates). Dust attenuation is provided in the V-band (note that dust
attenuation from BaStA is provided in the g-band). PROSP_SFR refers to the
instantaneous star formation rate, while PROSP_SFR100MYR is the star
formation rate averaged over the past 100 Myr.
Note (12): Stellar population parameters as derived with Bagpipes fitting the
LEGA-C spectra plus photometry as described in Kaushal et al.,
2024ApJ...961..118K 2024ApJ...961..118K. Stellar metallicity is given in units of Zsun=0.02
(note that the normalization is different from the one used in the BaStA
estimates). Dust attenuation is provided in the V-band (note that dust
attenuation from BaStA is provided in the g-band).

Global Notes:
Note (G1): Absorption indices are measured on the emission-line subtracted
spectra, at the actual spectral resolution (instrumental and velocity
dispersion)
Note (G2): Observational errors on absorption indices already include a
multiplicative factor coming from comparison of duplicate observations (see
van der Wel et al., 2021ApJS..256...44V 2021ApJS..256...44V)
Note (G3): Byte flag to check quality of index measurement. With the following
meaning:
bit 0: low frac of good pixels in central band (does not apply to D4000)
bit 1: low frac of good pixels in blue band
bit 2: extrapolated blue band
bit 3: low frac of good pixels in red band
bit 4: extrapolated red band
For composite indices the warning flag combines the respective flags for
individual indices. The index measurement is considered reliable if bit 0,
1, 3 are zero (bit 1 and 3 for D4000 or D4000n). For example for Hbeta,
in IDL, one should require:
LICKHBFLAG.bitget([0]) eq 0 AND
LICKHBFLAG.bitget([1]) eq 0 AND LICKHBFLAG.bitget([3]) eq 0.
An additional check on the index error is advisable, such that e.g.:
LICKHBERR gt 0 (errors are set to -99 when the measurement failed).
Note (G4): The index resolving power is defined as the ratio between the 5-95
percentile range of the index value and the index error, as in the paper.
Note (G5): Stellar population parameters as derived with BaStA, fitting selected
absorption indices plus photometry as described in the paper. The
median of the PDF is taken as the fiducial value, while the 16-84 (2.5-97.5)
percentiles give the 1-sigma (2-sigma) uncertainty. The parameter value of
the bestfit model is provided for checks but not used in the analysis.
Estimates of stellar population parameters are provided for the whole LEGA-C
DR3 sample, but note that especially for stellar metallicity the estimates
are meaningful only for galaxies in the silver or golden sample, i.e.
galaxies with spectral coverage that allows coverage of at least one of the
metal-sensitive composite indices (MgFe_PRIME, Mg2Fe, MgFe50_PRIME,
MgFe52_PRIME) which means roughly up to z=0.77.
Note (G6): **Sample selection** - The general parent sample is selected to
satisfy the conditions: PRIMARY=1, FLAG_SPEC=0, SIGMASTARSPRIME>0 (where
primary, flag_spec and sigmastarsprime come from the LEGA-C DR3 catalog).
To select unique galaxies, one should further select:
NDUPL eq 1 or (NDUPL gt 1 and USE_DUPL eq 1).
In the paper and Paper II (Gallazzi et al., 2026A&A...708A.290G 2026A&A...708A.290G,
we restricted the stellar population analysis to galaxies having at least
one of the age-sensitive indices and at least one of the metal-sensitive
indices. This defines the silver sample: silver galaxies are galaxies in
the parent sample that satisfy the requirements on availability of
absorption features measurement as described in Gallazzi+2026a.
Golden galaxies are those additionally satisfying the S/N requirement
SNRF4000>20 (or SNR_DUPL>20 for duplicate-combined measurements).
Galaxies are then classified into Quiescent or Star-Forming
based on a mass-dependent cut in specific SFR (SSFR_UVIR) as defined in
Gallazzi et al., Paper II (2026A&A...708A.290G 2026A&A...708A.290G).
Flag_Q and Flag_SF can be used to identify quiescent and star-forming
galaxies respectively, to be used in addition to flagsilver/flaggolden
if needed. To select quiescent/star-forming galaxies
based on the UVJ plane instead, use the UVJ_SFQ flag.
