The star formation-AGN connection from the CALIFA survey perspective
Abstract
It is widely suspected the bulk of star formation precedes the top AGN phase. However, evidence has also been found of star formation triggered by AGN feedback. Host properties and environmental conditions may guide us to start unveiling such a connection. We then study environmentally-induced galaxies using CALIFA data. We start by determining nuclear activity and current SFR to compare them with those of non-interacting, star-forming galaxies (CALIFA data too). We want to firstly corroborate that it is really the intensity of the star-forming bursts what produces the chemical differences of galaxies. It then follows to estimate the intensity of the central and/or circumnuclear burst(s) and to determine whether or not it is affected by perturbers.
