CALIFA SFRs. II. Bulges, bars & disks

The presence of type 2 AGNs plays a role at damping the sSFR in bulges and less efficiently in disks. Also, the decrease in the sSFR of the disk component becomes more noticeable for stellar masses around 10^10.5^M_{sun}_; for bulges, it is already present at ~10^9.5^M_{sun}_. The analysis of the line- of-sight stellar velocity dispersions ({sigma}) for the bulge component and of the corresponding Faber-Jackson relation shows that AGNs tend to have slightly higher {sigma} values than star-forming galaxies for the same mass.

Finally, the impact of environment is evaluated by means of the projected galaxy density, {Sigma}5. We find that the SFR of both bulges and disks decreases in intermediate- to high-density environments. This work reflects the potential of combining IFS data with 2D multicomponent decompositions to shed light on the processes that regulate the SFR.
