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, it has also been found evidence of star formation triggered by AGN feedback. Host properties and environmental conditions might then lead us to understand a connection between both phenomena. We then study environmentally-induced galaxies using CALIFA data. We start by determining their nuclear activity and current SFR to compare both with those of non-interacting, star-forming galaxies. We firstly want to corroborate that it is really the intensity of the star-forming bursts what produces the chemical differences of galaxies. Then it follows to estimate the intensity of the central and/or circumnuclear bursts and to determine whether or not it is affected by disturbers.
