A Theoretical Three-dimensional Diagram to Separate Star Formation, Active Galactic Nuclei, and Shocks in Galaxies

The excitation sources in galaxies are frequently mixed owing to active galactic nucleus (AGN) and stellar feedback, including star formation, AGN, and shock excitation. Disentangling the star formation, AGN, and shocks in galaxy integral field unit (IFU) spectra at optical wavelengths is crucial to...
