Radar-Chart Analysis of Star-Formation Quenching Stages Across Circular Velocity Curve Classes in Nearby CALIFA Galaxies
Abstract
We analyze the circular velocity curves of 215 non-active galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field spectroscopy Area survey. Using radar-chart analysis, we compare two classification schemes: the circular velocity curve classification and the quenching classification. We find a systematic progression from slow-rising to flat, round-peaked, and sharp-peaked curves that mirrors the transition from star-forming to fully retired systems. Star-forming galaxies are mainly slow-rising and flat, whereas fully retired galaxies are predominantly round-peaked and sharp-peaked, with intermediate stages showing a gradual shift. Overall, advanced quenching stages are associated with more centrally peaked curves and higher outer velocities (i.e., velocities along the flat part of the curve), indicating increasingly concentrated central mass distributions and more massive disks of the galaxies.
