Searching for Light in the Darkness: Bounds on ALP Dark Matter with the optical MUSE-Faint survey
Marco Regis, Marco Taoso, Daniel Vaz +4
We use MUSE spectroscopic observations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo T between 470 and 935 nm to search for radiative decays of axion like particles (ALPs). Under the assumpti…
Stacking the Cosmic Web in Fluorescent Lyman alpha Emission with MUSE
Sofia G. Gallego, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Simon Lilly +12
Cosmological simulations suggest that most of the matter in the Universe is distributed along filaments connecting galaxies. Illuminated by the cosmic UV background (UVB), these st…
A SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy Survey for Galaxy Counterparts to Damped Lyman-alpha Systems - IV. Masses and Gas Flows
Celine Peroux, Nicolas Bouche, Varsha P. Kulkarni +1
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of typical galaxies is crucial to our understanding of the cycling of gas into, through and out of galaxies. One way to probe the CGM is to study ga…
Signatures of Cool Gas Fueling a Star-Forming Galaxy at Redshift 2.3
N. Bouché, M. T. Murphy, G. G. Kacprzak +4
Galaxies are thought to be fed by the continuous accretion of intergalactic gas, but direct observational evidence has been elusive. The accreted gas is expected to orbit about the…
The SINS/zC-SINF Survey of z~2 Galaxy Kinematics: The Nature of Dispersion Dominated Galaxies
Sarah F. Newman, Reinhard Genzel, Natascha M. Forster Schreiber +22
We analyze the spectra, spatial distributions and kinematics of Ha, [NII] and [SII] emission in a sample of 42, z~2.2 UV/optically selected star forming galaxies (SFGs) from the SI…
The SINS/zC-SINF survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: Outflow properties
Sarah F. Newman, Reinhard Genzel, Natascha Forster-Schreiber +22
Based on SINFONI Ha, [NII] and [SII] AO data of 30 z \sim 2 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the SINS and zcSINF surveys, we find a strong correlation of the Ha broad flux fractio…
Shocked Superwinds from the z~2 Clumpy Star-forming Galaxy, ZC406690
Sarah F. Newman, Kristen Shapiro Griffin, Reinhard Genzel +20
We have obtained high-resolution data of the z 2 ring-like, clumpy star-forming galaxy (SFG) ZC406690 using the VLT/SINFONI with AO (in K-band) and in seeing-limited mode (in H- an…
A SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy Survey for Galaxy Counterparts to Damped Lyman-alpha Systems - III. Three Additional Detections
Celine Peroux, Nicolas Bouche, Varsha P. Kulkarni +2
We report three additional SINFONI detections of H-alpha emission line from quasar absorbers, two of which are new identifications. These were targeted among a sample of systems wi…
The zCOSMOS-SINFONI Project I: Sample Selection and Natural-Seeing Observations
Chiara Mancini, Natascha Foerster Schreiber, Alvio Renzini +21
The zCOSMOS SINFONI project is aimed at studying the physical and kinematical properties of a sample of massive z~1.4-2.5 star-forming galaxies, through SINFONI near-IR integral fi…
Enriched haloes at redshift with no star-formation: Implications for accretion and wind scenarios
N. Bouche, M. T. Murphy, C. Peroux +9
[Abridged] In order to understand which process (e.g. galactic winds, cold accretion) is responsible for the cool (T~10^4 K) halo gas around galaxies, we embarked on a program to s…
How well can we Measure the Intrinsic Velocity Dispersion of Distant Disk Galaxies?
R. Davies, N. M. Forster Schreiber, G. Cresci +13
The kinematics of distant galaxies, from z=0.1 to z>2, play a key role in our understanding of galaxy evolution from early times to the present. One of the important parameters is…
An X-ray Selected Galaxy Cluster in the Lockman Hole at Redshift 1.753
J. Patrick Henry, Mara Salvato, Alexis Finoguenov +12
We have discovered an X-ray selected galaxy cluster with a spectroscopic redshift of 1.753. The redshift is of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), which is coincident with the peak…
A SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy Survey for Galaxy Counterparts to Damped Lyman-alpha Systems - II. Dynamical Properties of the Galaxies towards Q0302-223 and Q1009-0026
Celine Peroux, Nicolas Bouche, Varsha P. Kulkarni +2
Details of processes through which galaxies convert their gas into stars need to be studied in order to obtain a complete picture of galaxy formation. One way to tackle these pheno…
A SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy Survey for Galaxy Counterparts to Damped Lyman-alpha Systems - I. New Detections and Limits for Intervening and Associated Absorbers
Celine Peroux, Nicolas Bouche, Varsha P. Kulkarni +2
Detailed studies of Damped and sub-Damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLA), the galaxies probed by the absorption they produce in the spectra of background quasars, rely on identifying th…
The Impact of cold gas accretion above a mass floor on galaxy scaling relations
N. Bouche, A. Dekel, R. Genzel +6
Using the cosmological baryonic accretion rate and normal star formation efficiencies, we present a very simple model for star-forming galaxies (SFGs) that accounts for the mass an…
Physical Conditions in the Low-Ionization Component of Starburst Outflows: The Shape of Near-Ultraviolet and Optical Absorption-Line Troughs in Keck Spectra of ULIRGs
Crystal L. Martin, Nicolas Bouche
We analyze the physical conditions in the low-ionization component of starburst outflows (in contrast to the high-ionization wind fluid observed in X-rays), based on new Keck/LRIS…
