WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a 2-degree field-of-view prime-focus corrector system, nearly 1000-multiplex fibre positioner, 20 individually deployable 'mini' integral field units (IFUs), and single large IFU. These systems feed dual-beam spectrograph covering wavelength range 366$-$959\,nm at $R\sim5000$, or two shorter ranges $R\sim20\,000$. After summarising...
We use spatially resolved spectroscopy from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey to study nature of line emitting gas in galaxies different Hubble types, focusing on separation star-forming (SF) regions those better characterized as diffuse ionized (DIG). The diagnosis is carried out terms equivalent width H α (WH α). Three nebular regimes are identified. Regions where WH < 3 Å define what we call hDIG, component DIG photoionization dominated by hot, low-mass, evolved...

We investigate the impact of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) on abundance determinations in star-forming (SF) galaxies. The DIG is characterised using H$\alpha$ equivalent width ($W_{\text{H}\alpha}$). From a set 1,409 SF galaxies from Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey, we calculate fractional contribution to several emission lines high-$S/N$ data spaxels (instead noisy emission-lines DIG-dominated spaxels). Our method applicable spectra with observed $W_{\text{H}\alpha} \gtrsim 10$...

ABSTRACT The effect of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) feedback on the host galaxy, and its role in quenching or enhancing star formation, is still uncertain due to fact that usual formation rate (SFR) indicators – emission-line luminosities based assumption photoionization by young stars cannot be used for galaxies as ionizing source AGN. We thus investigate use SFR derived from stellar population relation with gas a sample 170 AGN hosts matched control 291 galaxies. compare values densities...

Radio activity in AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) produce feedback on the host galaxy via impact of relativistic jets circumnuclear gas. Although radio can reach up to several times optical radius galaxy, this review we focus observation deposited locally central region galaxies, form outflows due jet-gas interaction. We begin by discussing how mergers and interactions are most favored scenario for triggering after gas accretion nuclear supermassive black hole star formation enhancement region,...
