We derive rotation curves, surface brightness profiles, and oxygen abundance distributions for 147 late-type galaxies using the publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. Changes of the central oxygen abundance (O/H)_0, the abundance at the optical radius (O/H)_R25, and the abundance gradient with rotation velocity V_rot are examined for galaxies with rotation velocities from 90 km/s to 350 km/s. We found that each relation shows a break at V_rot^* ~200 km/s. The central (O/H)_0 abundance increases with rising V_rot and the slope of the (O/H)_0 - V_rot relation is steeper for galaxies with V_rot < V_rot^*. The mean scatter of the central abundances around this relation is 0.053 dex. The relation between the abundance at the optical radius of a galaxy and its rotation velocity is similar; the mean scatter in abundances around this relation is 0.081 dex. The radial abundance gradient expressed in dex/kpc flattens with the increase of the rotation velocity. The slope of the relation is very low for galaxies with V_rot > V_rot^*. The abundance gradient expressed in dex/R25 is rougly constant for galaxies with V_rot < V_rot^*, flattens towards V_rot^*, and then again is roughly constant for galaxies with V_rot > V_rot^*. The change of the gradient expressed in terms of dex/h_d (where h_d is the disc scale length) with rotation velocity is similar to that for gradient in dex/R25. The relations between abundance characteristics and other basic parameters (stellar mass, luminosity, and radius) are also considered.

We investigate radiation hardness within a representative sample of 67 nearby (0.02 $lesssim $z$ lesssim$0.06) star-forming (SF) galaxies using the integral field spectroscopic data from the MaNGA survey. The softness parameter $eta$ = $frac{O^{+}/O^ {2+}}{S^{+}/S^{2+}}$ is sensitive to the spectral energy distribution of the ionizing radiation. We study $eta$ via the observable quantity $etaprime$ (=$frac{[OII]/[OIII]}{[SII][SIII]}$) We analyse the relation between radiation hardness (traced by $eta$ and $etaprime$) and diagnostics sensitive to gas-phase metallicity, electron temperature, density, ionization parameter, effective temperature and age of ionizing populations. It is evident that low metallicity is accompanied by low log $etaprime$, i.e. hard radiation field. No direct relation is found between radiation hardness and other nebular parameters though such relations can not be ruled out. We provide empirical relations between log $rmeta$ and strong emission line ratios N$_2$, O$_3$N$_2$ and Ar$_3$O$_3$ which will allow future studies of radiation hardness in SF galaxies where weak auroral lines are undetected. We compare the variation of [O III]/[O II] and [S III]/[S II] for MaNGA data with SF galaxies and H II regions within spiral galaxies from literature, and find that the similarity and differences between different data set is mainly due to the metallicity. We find that predictions from photoionizaion models considering young and evolved stellar populations as ionizing sources in good agreement with the MaNGA data. This comparison also suggests that hard radiation fields from hot and old low-mass stars within or around SF regions might significantly contribute to the observed $eta$ values.
We present Keck/OSIRIS adaptive optics observations with 150-400 pc spatial sampling of 7 turbulent, clumpy disc galaxies from the DYNAMO sample ($0.07<z<0.2$). DYNAMO galaxies have previously been shown to be well matched in properties to main seque nce galaxies at $zsim1.5$. Integral field spectroscopy observations using adaptive optics are subject to a number of systematics including a variable PSF and spatial sampling, which we account for in our analysis. We present gas velocity dispersion maps corrected for these effects, and confirm that DYNAMO galaxies do have high gas velocity dispersion ($sigma=40-80$kms), even at high spatial sampling. We find statistically significant structure in 6 out of 7 galaxies. The most common distance between the peaks in velocity dispersion and emission line peaks is $sim0.5$~kpc, we note this is very similar to the average size of a clump measured with HST H$alpha$ maps. This could suggest that the peaks in velocity dispersion in clumpy galaxies likely arise due to some interaction between the clump and the surrounding ISM of the galaxy, though our observations cannot distinguish between outflows, inflows or velocity shear. Observations covering a wider area of the galaxies will be needed to confirm this result.

We present a study of the kinematics of the extraplanar ionized gas around several dozen galaxies observed by the Mapping of Nearby Galaxies at the Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey. We considered a sample of 67 edge-on galaxies out of more tha n 1400 extragalactic targets observed by MaNGA, in which we found 25 galaxies (or 37%) with regular lagging of the rotation curve at large distances from the galactic midplane. We model the observed $Halpha$ emission velocity fields in the galaxies, taking projection effects and a simple model for the dust extinction into the account. We show that the vertical lag of the rotation curve is necessary in the modeling, and estimate the lag amplitude in the galaxies. We find no correlation between the lag and the star formation rate in the galaxies. At the same time, we report a correlation between the lag and the galactic stellar mass, central stellar velocity dispersion, and axial ratio of the light distribution. These correlations suggest a possible higher ratio of infalling-to-local gas in early-type disk galaxies or a connection between lags and the possible presence of hot gaseous halos, which may be more prevalent in more massive galaxies. These results again demonstrate that observations of extraplanar gas can serve as a potential probe for accretion of gas.
We use data from 1222 late-type star-forming galaxies in the SDSS IV MaNGA survey to identify regions in which the gas-phase metallicity is anomalously-low compared to expectations from the tight empirical relation between metallicity and stellar sur face mass-density at a given stellar mass. We find anomalously low metallicity (ALM) gas in 10% of the star-forming spaxels, and in 25% of the galaxies in the sample. The incidence rate of ALM gas increases strongly with both global and local measures of the specific star-formation rate, and is higher in lower mass galaxies and in the outer regions of galaxies. The incidence rate is also significantly higher in morphologically disturbed galaxies. We estimate that the lifetimes of the ALM regions are a few hundred Myr. We argue that the ALM gas has been delivered to its present location by a combination of interactions, mergers, and accretion from the halo, and that this infusion of gas stimulates star-formation. Given the estimated lifetime and duty cycle of such events, we estimate that the time-averaged accretion rate of ALM gas is similar to the star-formation rate in late type galaxies over the mass-range M$_* sim10^9$ to 10$^{10}$ M$_{odot}$.
We consider the circumnuclear regions of MaNGA galaxies. The spectra are classified as AGN-like, HII-region-like (or SF-like), and intermediate (INT) spectra according to their positions on the BPT diagram. There are the following four configurations of the radiation distributions in the circumnuclear regions: 1) AGN+INT, the innermost region of the AGN-like radiation is surrounded by a ring of radiation of the intermediate type; 2) INT, the central area of radiation of the intermediate type; 3) SF+INT, the inner region of the HII-region-like radiation is surrounded by a ring of radiation of the intermediate type; and 4) SF, the HII-region-like radiation only. The LINERS of configurations 1 and 2 are examined. The spaxel spectra of the LINERs form a sequences on the BPT diagram. The line ratios change smoothly with radius, from AGN-like at the center to HII-region-like at larger distances. This is in agreement with the paradigm that the LINERs are excited by AGN activity. The AGN and INT radiation in the circumnuclear region is accompanied by an enhanced gas velocity dispersion, s_g. The radius of the area of the AGN and INT radiation is similar to the radius of the area with enhanced s_g, and the central s_g,c correlates with the luminosity of the AGN+INT area. We assume that the gas velocity dispersion can serve as an indicator of the AGN activity. The values of s_g,c for the SF-type centers partly overlap with those of the AGN-type centers. We find that there is a demarcation line between the positions of the AGN-type and SF-type objects on the s_g,c - central Halpha surface brightness diagram.
