TL;DR
This paper provides a comprehensive photometric catalog of CALIFA galaxies, deriving structural properties using SDSS images and comparing 1D and 2D modeling techniques to enhance galaxy characterization.
Contribution
It introduces a detailed photometric dataset for CALIFA galaxies, employing both 1D and 2D modeling approaches and assessing their relative performance.
Findings
Good agreement with previous studies in photometry.
Identification of significant differences in some measurements.
Structural metrics show tight correlation with circular velocity.
Abstract
We present an extensive compendium of photometrically-determined structural properties for all CALIFA galaxies in the Third Data Release (DR3). We exploit Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images in order to extract one-dimensional (1D) surface brightness profiles for all CALIFA DR3 galaxies. We also derive a variety of non-parametric quantities and parametric models fitted to 1D i-band profiles. The galaxy images are decomposed using the 2D bulge-disc decomposition programs IMFIT and GALFIT. The relative performance and merit of our 1D and 2D modelling approaches are assessed. Where possible, we compare and augment our photometry with existing measurements from the literature. Close agreement is generally found with the studies of Walcher et al. (2014) and M\'endez-Abreu et al. (2017), though some significant differences exist. Various structural metrics are also highlighted on…
