China-Chile Proposal
China-Chile Joint Research Fund 2016
Project presentation
- Title: :Star Formation History of Galaxies in Different Environments from MaNGA Spectra
- Abstract (<1000 words):
In the present–day galaxy population, it is well known that there is a strong relation between the properties of galaxies and their stellar masses and environments (Peng et al., 2010, 2012). However, the relative importance of secular evolution (nature) over nurture is not yet clear. Separating the effects of interaction–driven evolution in the observed galaxy properties is not trivial.
