Alternative diagnostic diagrams and the 'forgotten' population of weak line galaxies in the SDSS

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use the BPT diagram for galaxy classification and showed that the W Hα versus [N II]/Hα diagram can be applied to the largest sample of galaxies without loss of discriminating power between Seyferts and LINERs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative diagnostic diagrams and the "forgotten" population of weak line galaxies in the SDSS

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to use the SDSS DR7 data set for the classification of weak line galaxies (WLGs) by transposing the usual divisory lines between Star Forming (SF) and AGN hosts, and between Seyferts and LINERs to diagrams that are more economical in terms of line quality requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI

The history of star-forming galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the evolution of 82 302 star-forming galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and derived Star Formation Histories (SFHs) from detailed spectral fits obtained with the publicly available spectral synthesis code STARLIGHT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semi-empirical analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxies – II. The bimodality of the galaxy population revisited

TL;DR: In this paper, the bimodal distribution of the galaxy population commonly seen in the local universe was revisited in terms of spectral synthesis products, such as mean stellar ages and stellar masses.
