Stellar population parameters correlate with a range of galaxy properties, but it is unclear which relations are causal and which are the result of another underlying trend. In this series, we quantitatively compare trends between stellar population properties and galaxy structural parameters in order to determine which relations are intrinsically tighter, and are therefore more likely to reflect a causal relation. Specifically, we focus on the galaxy structural parameters of mass $M$, gravitational potential $Phisim M/R_e$, and surface mass density $Sigmasim M/R_e^2$. In Barone et al. (2018) we found that for early-type galaxies the age-$Sigma$ and [Z/H]-$Phi$ relations show the least intrinsic scatter as well as the least residual trend with galaxy size. In this work we study the ages and metallicities measured from full spectral fitting of 2085 star-forming galaxies from the SDSS Legacy Survey, selected so all galaxies in the sample are probed to one effective radius. As with the trends found in early-type galaxies, we find that in star-forming galaxies age correlates best with stellar surface mass density, and [Z/H] correlates best with gravitational potential. We discuss multiple mechanisms that could lead to these scaling relations. For the [Z/H]--$Phi$ relation we conclude that gravitational potential is the primary regulator of metallicity, via its relation to the gas escape velocity. The age--$Sigma$ relation is consistent with compact galaxies forming earlier, as higher gas fractions in the early universe cause old galaxies to form more compactly during their in-situ formation phase, and may be reinforced by compactness-related quenching mechanisms.
The well-established correlations between the mass of a galaxy and the properties of its stars are considered evidence for mass driving the evolution of the stellar population. However, for early-type galaxies (ETGs), we find that $g-i$ color and ste
We present the integrated properties of the stellar populations in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid Survey galaxies. Applying the techniques described in the first paper of this series, we derive ages, burst masses and metallicities of the newly
The main goal of this thesis work is studying the main properties of the stellar populations embedded in a statistically complete sample of local active star-forming galaxies: the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey of emission-line galaxi
We study the relations between gas-phase metallicity ($Z$), local stellar mass surface density ($Sigma_*$), and the local star formation surface density ($Sigma_{rm SFR}$) in a sample of 1120 star-forming galaxies from the MaNGA survey. At fixed $Sig
Two competing models, gravitational instability-driven transport and stellar feedback, have been proposed to interpret the high velocity dispersions observed in high-redshift galaxies. We study the major mechanisms to drive the turbulence in star-for
