WINGS star formation histories

The catalog gives the star formation history of WINGS galaxies, i.e. their metallicity (as the best fit metallicity obtained by running our code with 4 different values of global metallocity), the dust extinction (both total and from the youngest component), the star formation rate in four macro bins of age (i.e. 0-2e7; 2e7-6e8; 6e8-5.6e9; 5.6e9-17.8e9), three values of stellar mass (i.e. the mass of stars turned into stars globally, the mass in living stars + remnants and the mass in shining stars) both within the fiber and total.

The total mass has been extrapolated from the data by rescaling the V flux to the one that we have from the photometry, i.e. assuming no color gradient from the aperture to the toal photometry. A color correction term has been then calculated using the color at 5 kpc and the calibration by Bell & deJong and is given as weel in the catalog. Finally we list the luminosity weighted age and the mass weighted age of our galaxies.
