ABSTRACT We derive ages, metallicities, and individual element abundances of early- and late-type galaxies (ETGs and LTGs) out to 1.5 Re. We study a large sample of 1900 galaxies spanning 8.6–11.3 log M/M⊙ in stellar mass, through key absorption features in stacked spectra from the SDSS-IV/MaNGA survey. We use mock galaxy spectra with extended star formation histories to validate our method for LTGs and use corrections to convert the derived ages into luminosity- and mass-weighted quantities. We find flat age and negative metallicity gradients for ETGs and negative age and negative metallicity gradients for LTGs. Age gradients in LTGs steepen with increasing galaxy mass, from −0.05 ± 0.11 log Gyr/Re for the lowest mass galaxies to −0.82 ± 0.08 log Gyr/Re for the highest mass ones. This strong gradient–mass relation has a slope of −0.70 ± 0.18. Comparing local age and metallicity gradients with the velocity dispersion σ within galaxies against the global relation with σ shows that internal processes regulate metallicity in ETGs but not age, and vice versa for LTGs. We further find that metallicity gradients with respect to local σ show a much stronger dependence on galaxy mass than radial metallicity gradients. Both galaxy types display flat [C/Fe] and [Mg/Fe], and negative [Na/Fe] gradients, whereas only LTGs display gradients in [Ca/Fe] and [Ti/Fe]. ETGs have increasingly steep [Na/Fe] gradients with local σ reaching 6.50 ± 0.78 dex/log km s−1 for the highest masses. [Na/Fe] ratios are correlated with metallicity for both galaxy types across the entire mass range in our sample, providing support for metallicity-dependent supernova yields.

Hr Diagram

The Hipparcos catalogue provides an accurate and extensive sampling of the solar neighbourhood HR diagram. The morphology of this diagram depends on selection criteria of the catalogue such as the limiting magnitude, angular separation and on the characteristics of the stellar populations near the sun (space density, metallicity, star formation rate, etc). Since the Hipparcos data are so accurate, one needs to model precisely the different selection bias and, at the same time, parametrize models of the galactic stellar populations with sufficient flexibility that as much information as possible can be grasped from the catalogue. Comparisons between our model and the Hipparcos catalogue will be presented elsewhere. Since the quantity of information contained in the Hipparcoscatalogue is so important, models ought to be complex, and external contraints, obtained prior to any general comparison with the model, are welcome. A major factor that influences the distribution of the stars in the HR diagram is the metallicity. For the late type stars, the metallicity distribution can be best studied by re-analysing a volume-limited sample of stars from the catalogue.

M Dwarfs

In a recent survey for faint red stars from a digital stack of Schmidt plates a number of candidate objects were identified. Parallax’s for three of these objects have been reported showing them to have luminosities which interpreted within the available evolutionary models indicate them to be good brown dwarf candidates. Here we examine spectra of these objects and others from the plate stack. Using standard spectral indices we find that for a given spectral type their spectra are more consistent with the Pleiades brown dwarfs (PPL 15, Teide 1 and Calar 3) than with standard late-type M dwarfs. Our interpretation is that this is due to their selection by RF IN colours which at values > 3 preferentially selects objects with relatively low gravities. For late-type M dwarfs and brown dwarfs low gravities are expected to be a reliable indication of youth. We also notice that the stack objects generally have strong FeH absorption for their spectral type. Current model atmospheres suggest that FeH strongly increases in strength toward lower metallicities and lower temperatures. We believe that this is not consistent with the available observational evidence from late-type M dwarfs. It is possible that solid Fe is forming inthe low temperature atmospheres relatively depleting FeH strengths toward lower temperatures. We find some evidence that for dwarfs at low temperatures dust formation is less prevalent in lower gravity objects suggesting that dwarfs at low temperatures stronger FeH may be an indication of youth. In addition to the spectral evidence the three stack objects whose parallax’s have been measured show small tangential velocities which is a further indication of youth.
