Passive spiral galaxy cand. multi-phot.
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We have identified a population of passive spiral galaxies from photometry and integral field spectroscopy.
Description
We selected z<0.035 spiral galaxies that have WISE colours consistent with little mid-infrared emission from warm dust. Matched aperture photometry of 51 spiral galaxies in ultraviolet, optical and mid-infrared show these galaxies have colours consistent with passive galaxies.
Six galaxies form a spectroscopic pilot study and were observed using the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) to check for signs of nebular emission from star formation. We see no evidence of substantial nebular emission found in previous red spiral samples. These six galaxies possess absorption line spectra with 4000{AA} breaks consistent with an average luminosity-weighted age of 2.3Gyr.

Our photometric and IFU spectroscopic observations confirm the existence of a population of local passive spiral galaxies, implying that transformation into early-type morphologies is not required for the quenching of star formation.
