This paper describes the Second Public Data Release (DR2) of the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey. The data for 200 objects are made public, including the 100 galaxies of the First Public Data Release (DR1). Data were obtained with the integral-field spectrograph PMAS/PPak mounted on the 3.5 m telescope at the Calar Alto observatory. Two different spectral setups are available for each galaxy, (i) a low-resolution V500 setup covering the wavelength range 3745-7500 \AA\ with a spectral resolution of 6.0 \AA\ (FWHM), and (ii) a medium-resolution V1200 setup covering the wavelength range 3650-4840 \AA\ with a spectral resolution of 2.3 \AA\ (FWHM). The sample covers a redshift range between 0.005 and 0.03, with a wide range of properties in the Color-Magnitude diagram, stellar mass, ionization conditions, and morphological types. All released cubes were reduced with the latest pipeline, including improved spectrophotometric calibration, spatial registration and spatial resolution. The spectrophotometric calibration is better than 6% and the median spatial resolution is 2.5". Altogether the second data release contains over 1.5 million spectra. It is available at http://califa.caha.es/DR2.

  1. Hector Galaxy Survey: Linking the low- and high-mass ends of the initial mass function in star-forming galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Simultaneous measurement of low- and high-mass IMF slopes in 214 star-forming galaxies reveals diversity, weak correlation between ends, and links to stellar mass, star formation rate, and metallicity.

  2. Beyond the Fundamental Metallicity Relation: galaxy sizes encode the link between inflow and metallicity

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Galaxy size at fixed stellar mass encodes the link between long-term gas inflow histories, current inner gas reservoirs, and metallicity via differences in assembly timing.
