TL;DR: The Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey as discussed by the authors was designed to provide a first step in this direction by obtaining spatially resolved spectroscopic information of a diameter selected sample of similar to 600 galaxies in the Local Universe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the largest and most homogeneous catalog of H ii regions and associations compiled so far, consisting of more than 7000 ionized regions, extracted from 306 galaxies observed by the CALIFA survey.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the fossil record method based on spectral synthesis techniques to recover the following physical properties for each spatial resolution element in the target galaxies: the stellar mass surface density (μ_*), stellar extinction (A_V), lightweighted and mass-weighted ages (L, M), and mass weighted metallicity (M).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the fossil record method of stellar population spectral synthesis to recover the spatially and time resolved star formation history of each galaxy, and showed that the signal of downsizing is spatially preserved with both inner and outer regions growing faster for more massive galaxies.
