The New Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) Value-added Catalog
We present the the new Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) catalog (SwiM_v4.1). SwiM_v4.1 is designed to study star-formation and dust attenuation within nearby galaxies given the unique overlap of Swift/UVOT near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging and MaNGA integral field optical spectroscopy.

Zusammenfassung: | We present the the new Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) catalog (SwiM_v4.1). SwiM_v4.1
is designed to study star-formation and dust attenuation within nearby galaxies
given the unique overlap of Swift/UVOT near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging and MaNGA
integral field optical spectroscopy. SwiM_v4.1 comprises 559 objects, ~4 times
more than the original SwiM catalog (SwiM_v3.1), spans a redshift range
z~0.0002-0.1482, and provides a more diverse and rich sample. Approximately 5%
of the final MaNGA sample is included in SwiM_v4.1, and 42% of the SwiM_v4.1
galaxies are cross-listed with other well-known catalogs. We present the same
data as SwiM_v3.1, including UVOT images, SDSS images and MaNGA emission-line
and spectral index maps with the same pixel size and angular resolution for
each galaxy, and a file containing galaxy and observational properties. We
designed SwiM_v4.1 to be unbiased, which resulted in some objects having low
signal-to-noise ratios in their MaNGA or Swift data. We addressed this by
providing a new file containing the fraction of science-ready pixels in each
MaNGA emission-line map, and the integrated flux and inverse variance for all
three NUV filters. The uniform angular resolution and sampling in SwiM_v4.1
will help answer a number of scientific questions, including constraining
quenching and attenuation in the local Universe and studying the effects of
black hole feedback. The galaxy maps, catalog files, and their associated data
models are publicly released on the SDSS website:
