The rapid formation a large rotating disk galaxy three billion years after the Big Bang
R. Genzel, L. Tacconi, F. Eisenhauer +16
[Abridged] Over the past two decades observations and theoretical simulations have established a global frame-work of galaxy formation and evolution in the young Universe. Galaxies…
Galaxy morphology and evolution from SWAN Adaptive Optics imaging
G. Cresci, R. I. Davies, A. J. Baker +4
We present the results from adaptive optics (AO) assisted imaging in the Ks band of an area of 15 arcmin^2 for SWAN (Survey of a Wide Area with NACO). We derive the high resolution…
Dynamical properties of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. II. Traces of dynamical evolution and end products of local ultraluminous mergers
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +8
We present results from our Very Large Telescope large program to study the dynamical evolution of local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) and QSOs. This paper is the second…
Lyman Break Galaxies Under a Microscope: The Small Scale Dynamics and Mass of an Arc in the Cluster 1E0657-56
N. P. H. Nesvadba, M. D. Lehnert, F. Eisenhauer +8
Using the near-infrared integral-field spectrograph SPIFFI on the VLT, we have studied the spatially-resolved dynamics in the z=3.2 strongly lensed galaxy 1E0657-56 ``arc+core''. T…
The Star-Forming Torus and Stellar Dynamical Black Hole Mass in the Seyfert 1 Nucleus of NGC3227
R. Davies, J. Thomas, R. Genzel +7
We report R~4300 VLT SINFONI adaptive optics integral field K-band spectroscopy of the nucleus of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC3227 at a spatial resolution of 0.085" (7pc). We present t…
SINFONI's take on Star Formation, Molecular Gas, and Black Hole Masses in AGN
R. Davies, R. Genzel, L. Tacconi +3
We present some preliminary (half-way) results on our adaptive optics spectroscopic survey of AGN at spatial scales down to 0.085arcsec. Most of the data were obtained with SINFONI…
