Abstract (short summary)
The MaNGA Firefly Value-Added-Catalogue (VAC) provides measurements of spatially resolved stellar population properties in MaNGA galaxies. It is built upon and complements the MaNGA data analysis pipeline (DAP; Westfall et al. 2019) and employs the full spectral fitting code Firefly to derive parameters such as stellar ages, metallicities, masses, star formation histories and dust attenuation. In addition to Voronoi-binned measurements, it also provides global properties, such as central values and radial gradients. Here, we present an update on the MaNGA Firefly VAC that now doubled in sample size as compared to the version published in SDSS DR15 and comprises the complete final MaNGA sample (10,010 galaxies). One of the major new additions is the choice to select the results from fits that used either the MILES (Maraston & Strömbäck 2011) or the novel MaStar (Maraston et al. 2020) stellar population models, the later of which allow to constrain the fit over the whole MaNGA wavelength range.
