SUMMARY:Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey
DESCRIPTION:Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey\nDr. Sebastian F. 
 Sánchez Sánchez\n\nCALIFA is the largest IFS survey ever performed up to
  date. Recently started, it will observe ~600 galaxies in the Local Univer
 se with PPAK at the 3.5m of the Calar Alto Observatory, sampling most of t
 he size of these galaxies and covering the optical wavelength range betwee
 n 3700-7100 Å, using to spectroscopic setups. The main goal of this 
 survey is to characterize the spatially resolved spectroscopic properties 
 (both the stellar and ionized gas components) of all the population of gal
 axies at the current cosmological time, in order to understand in detail t
 he how is the final product of the evolution of galaxies. To do so, the sa
 mple will cover all the possible galaxies within the color-magnitude diagr
 am, down to MB ~ -18 mag, from big dry early-types to active fainter late-
 type galaxies. The main science drivers of the survey is to understand how
  galaxies evolve within the CM-diagram, understanding the details the proc
 ess of star formation, metal enrichment, migrations and morphological evol
 ution of galaxies.
