Full description
The SAMI instrument and Galaxy Survey is described in detail in Croom+ (2012MNRAS.421..872C) and Bryant+ (2015MNRAS.447.2857B). SAMI is a multi-object integral field spectrograph on the 3.9m Anglo Australian Telescope (AAT). For the SAMI Galaxy Survey, the 580V grating is used in the blue arm of the spectrograph, which results in a resolution of R~1700 with wavelength coverage of 3700-5700{AA}. In the red arm, the higher resolution grating 1000R is used, which gives an R~4500 over the range 6300-7400{AA}. We use 24 unsaturated, unblended CuAr arc lines in the blue arm, and 12 lines in the red arm, from 16 frames between 2013 March 05 and 2015 August 17, for all 819 fibers. The survey has four volume-limited galaxy samples derived from cuts in stellar mass in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) G09, G12, and G15 regions (Driver+ 2011, J/MNRAS/413/971). Subjects
