Abstract The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in 2014 July. It pursues three core programs: Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2), Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), and Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic (eBOSS). As well as its program, eBOSS contains two major subprograms: Time Domain (TDSS) SPectroscopic IDentification ERosita Sources (SPIDERS). This paper describes first data release from SDSS-IV,...
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its three operation (July 2014-July 2017). This is third SDSS-IV, and fifteenth from (Data Release Fifteen; DR15).

Abstract The Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, one of three core programs the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV), is producing a massive, high-dimensional integral field spectroscopic data set. However, leveraging MaNGA set to address key questions about galaxy formation presents serious data-related challenges due combination its spatially interconnected measurements and sheer volume. For each galaxy, pipelines produce relatively large...
The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is first one for SDSS-V, fifth generation survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific programs, or "Mappers": Milky Way Mapper (MWM), Black Hole (BHM), and Local Volume (LVM). This contains extensive targeting information two multi-object spectroscopy programs (MWM BHM), including input catalogs selection functions their numerous objectives. We describe production databases calibration- scientifically-focused...
Context. TW Hya is a classical T Tauri star that shows significant radial-velocity variations in the optical regime. These have been attributed to 10 planet orbiting at 0.04 AU.
We study the internal gradients of stellar population properties within 1.5 Re for a representative sample 721 galaxies, with masses ranging between 109 M⊙ and 1011.5 from SDSS-IV MaNGA Integral-Field-Unit survey.

In analysis, find age tend to be...

We study the properties of 66 galaxies with kinematically misaligned gas and stars from MaNGA survey. The fraction varies galaxy physical parameters, i.e. M*, SFR sSFR. According to their sSFR, we further classify these into three categories, 10 star-forming, 26 "Green Valley" 30 quiescent ones. different types are in that star-forming ones have positive gradient D4000 higher gas-phase metallicity, while green valley/quiescent negative gradients lower metallicity on average. There is...

The aim of this work is to study the effects environment on growth in size galaxies. We examine stellar mass-size relation for a sample isolated galaxies interpreted as systems where evolution has been mainly governed by internal processes.

Isolated comparison were...
Abstract The large Integral Field Spectroscopy surveys have allowed the classification of ionizing sources emission lines on sub-kiloparsec scales. In this work, we define two non-parametric parameters, quiescence ( F q ) and its concentration C ), to quantify strength spatial distribution quenched areas, respectively, traced by LI(N)ER regions with low EW(H α ). With these measurements, classify MaNGA galaxies into inside-out outside-in quenching types according their locations versus plane...
Abstract Galaxy interaction is considered a key driver of galaxy evolution and star formation (SF) history.

For each pairs, stage identified according to its morphological signatures: incoming phase, at first...
Context. The construction of catalogues galaxies and the a posteriori study galaxy properties in relation to their environment have been hampered by scarce redshift information. new 3-dimensional (3D) surveys permit small, faint, physically bound satellites be distinguished from background-projected population, giving more comprehensive 3D picture surroundings.
We report, for the first time, detection of a sample quenched and isolated dwarf galaxies (with 8.9 $<$ log(M$_{\rm \star}$/M$_{\rm \odot}$) 9.5) in least dense regions cosmic web, including voids, filaments, walls. These dwarfs have no neighbouring galaxy within 1.0~Mpc projected distance. Based on full spectral fitting their central spectra using Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, these are gas-deprived, exhibit stellar mass assembly very similar to clusters, experienced significant star...
