Abstract:We present a detailed study of emission-line systems in the GAMA G23 region, making use of WISE photometry that includes carefully measured resolved sources. After applying several cuts to the initial catalogue of ∼41,000 galaxies, we extract a sample of 9,809 galaxies. We then compare the spectral diagnostic (BPT) classification of 1154 emission-line galaxies (38% resolved in W1) to their location in the WISE colour-colour diagram, leading to the creation of a new zone for mid-infrared "warm" galaxies located… Show more
