cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiescatalogsmetallicitygalaxy-kinematicsWe have assembled a catalogue of relative ages, metallicities and abundance ratios for about 150 local galaxies in field, group and cluster environments. The galaxies span morphological types from cD and ellipticals, to late-type spirals. Ages and metallicities were estimated from high-quality published spectral line indices using Worthey & Ottaviani (1997, Cat. <J/ApJS/111/377>) single stellar population evolutionary models. The identification of galaxy age as a fourth parameter in the fundamental plane (Forbes, Ponman & Brown, 1998ApJ...508L..43F) is confirmed by our larger sample of ages. We investigate trends between age and metallicity, and with other physical parameters of the galaxies, such as ellipticity, luminosity and kinematic anisotropy. We demonstrate the existence of a galaxy age-metallicity relation similar to that seen for local galactic disc stars, whereby young galaxies have high metallicity, while old galaxies span a large range in metallicities. We also investigate the influence of environment and morphology on the galaxy age and metallicity, especially the predictions made by semi-analytic hierarchical clustering models (HCM). We confirm that non-cluster ellipticals are indeed younger on average than cluster ellipticals as predicted by the HCM models. However we also find a trend for the more luminous galaxies to have a higher [Mg/Fe] ratio than the lower luminosity galaxies, which is opposite to the expectation from HCM models.2002MNRAS.330..547Thttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/330/547CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJS/111/377 : H{gamma} + H{delta} absorption features (Worthey+ 1997)J/A+A/309/749 : Fundamental plane of early type galaxies (Prugniel+ 1996)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/330/547https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/330/547http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/330/547https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/330/547https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/330/547http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/330/547GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/330/547/galaxy (Galaxy age, metallicity, abundances and properties)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/330/547/galaxy?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/330/547/galaxy?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/330/547/galaxy?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true10.674583340.86583330.0055555555555555566/697 953 2214 2251 2409 2622 2709 4038 4990 5075 6951 8173 8193 8195-8196 8646 10377-10379 10382 10400-10401 10404 10551 11246 11457 11525 12472 13128 13336 13543 15056 15887 16543 16578 16633 16816 17472 17605 17612 17662 17761 17777 18269 18327 18428 18864 18931 18935 19506 19697 20034 20101 20282 21037 21039 22746 22826 23088 24681 24848 24920 25100 25533 26065 26125 26542 26803 27515 27518 27604 27652 27713-27714 27719 27730 27743 27765 27773 27907-27908 27914 27936 27938 27944 28037-28038 28040 28045 28221 28491 28495 28653 31340 33355 33954 34384 34493 34510-34511 34520-34521 34533-34535 34538-34542 34552 34554 35252 35911 36050 36295 36431 36632 38682 38842 40197 40250 40321 41998 42635 44995 45311 45421 45726 45770 46363 46389 46769 47077 47494 47517 47571 47574 48160https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/330/547?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/MNRAS/330/547/table1Galaxies excluded from the cataloguerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
