This table contains measurements of the fluxes, velocity and velocity dispersion measured using a single Gaussian fit to the strong ionised-gas optical emission lines in a series of standard, fixed apertures. It includes all galaxies in the Data Release 2 sample. The measurements are performed on the v0.10.1 SAMI DR2 aperture spectra. The standard apertures are:

• 1.4_ARCSECOND - a 1.4 arc second circular aperture centred on the centre of the cube
• 2_ARCSECOND - as above, but 2 arc seconds
• 3_ARCSECOND - as above, but 3 arc seconds
• 4_ARCSECOND - as above, but 4 arc seconds
• 3_KPC_ROUND - a circular aperture with a physical radius of 3kpc
• RE - an elliptical aperture with semi-major axis of radius Re

The table includes emission line fluxes for [OII]3727, Hβ, [OIII]5007, Hα, [NII]6583, and the [SII]6716,6731 doublet determined using a 1-component Gaussian fit, as well as the determined velocity and velocity dispersion and associated 1-sigma uncertainties. Further value-added products included are the Balmer-line derived extinction correction and the star formation rate (if the spectra is star formation dominated). The measurements are determined from fits to the observed aperture spectra using the LZIFU fitting code (Ho et al. 2016), and fully described in Scott et al., 2017, MNRAS, 472, 2833 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017MNRAS.472.2833S). Note, however, that the apertures are different from the measurements in that paper, so although the technique is identical, the values for a given galaxy may not be.

Where the no lines exist or if a fit does not satisfying our quality criteria, a value of NaN is recorded (see Scott et al. (2018) for details).

This table contains measurements of Lick absorption line strength indices in a series of standard, fixed apertures. It includes all galaxies in the Data Release 2 sample. The measurements are performed on the v0.10.1 SAMI DR2 aperture spectra. The standard apertures are:

• 1.4_ARCSECOND - a 1.4 arc second circular aperture centred on the centre of the cube
• 2_ARCSECOND - as above, but 2 arc seconds
• 3_ARCSECOND - as above, but 3 arc seconds
• 4_ARCSECOND - as above, but 4 arc seconds
• 3_KPC_ROUND - a circular aperture with a physical radius of 3kpc
• RE - an elliptical aperture with semi-major axis of radius Re

The table includes Lick index measurements and 1-sigma uncertainties for all apertures. The measurements are fully described in Scott et al., 2017, MNRAS, 472, 2833 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017MNRAS.472.2833S). Note, however, that the apertures are different from the measurements in that paper, so although the technique is identical, the values for a given galaxy may not be.

Bad or missing values are indicated by a value of -99.0. Apertures where the measured values for the entire aperture may be unreliable are indicated with a value of 1 in the flag against the corresponding aperture.

This table contains measurements of Single Stellar Population (SSP) equivalent age (Age), metallicity ([Z/H]), and alpha abundance ([alpha/Fe]) in a series of standard, fixed apertures. It includes all galaxies in the Data Release 2 sample. The measurements are performed on the v0.10.1 SAMI DR2 aperture spectra. The standard apertures are:

• 1.4_ARCSECOND - a 1.4 arc second circular aperture centred on the centre of the cube
• 2_ARCSECOND - as above, but 2 arc seconds
• 3_ARCSECOND - as above, but 3 arc seconds
• 4_ARCSECOND - as above, but 4 arc seconds
• 3_KPC_ROUND - a circular aperture with a physical radius of 3kpc
• RE - an elliptical aperture with semi-major axis of radius Re

The table includes SSP-equivalent values and 1-sigma uncertainties for all apertures. The SSP measurements are derived from the Lick index measurements in the table LickIndicesv01.fits. The measurements are fully described in Scott et al., 2017, MNRAS, 472, 2833 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017MNRAS.472.2833S). Note, however, that the apertures are different from the measurements in that paper, so although the technique is identical, the values for a given galaxy may not be.

Where there is insufficient signal-to-noise in a given aperture to make a reliable measurement (S/N < 10 for age and [Z/H], and S/N < 20 for [alpha/Fe]), a dummy value of -99.0 is recorded.

This table contains stellar kinematic measurements derived from the two-dimensional maps and from a series of standard, fixed apertures. It includes all galaxies in the Data Release 2 sample. The measurements are performed on the v0.10.1 SAMI DR2 stellar kinematic maps and aperture spectra. The standard apertures are:

• 1.4_ARCSECOND - a 1.4 arc second circular aperture centred on the centre of the cube
• 2_ARCSECOND - as above, but 2 arc seconds
• 3_ARCSECOND - as above, but 3 arc seconds
• 4_ARCSECOND - as above, but 4 arc seconds
• 3_KPC_ROUND - a circular aperture with a physical radius of 3kpc
• RE - an elliptical aperture with semi-major axis of radius Re

The table includes stellar kinematic measurements including 1-sigma uncertainties. The measurements are fully described in van de Sande et al. 2017, ApJ, 835, 104 and van de Sande et al. 2017, MNRAS, 472, 1272.

Where there is insufficient aperture coverage, insufficient signal-to-noise, or the measurement does not pass the stellar kinematic quality criteria (see DR2 paper, Scott et al. MNRAS, submitted), a NaN value is recorded.
