Physical Properties of Galaxies from z=2-4

Alice E. Shapley

The epoch of galaxy assembly from 2<=z<=4 marks a critical stage during the evolution of today's galaxy population. During this period the star-formation activity in the Universe w…

The Kinematics of Multiple-Peaked Ly-alpha Emission in Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2-3

Kristin R. Kulas, Alice E. Shapley, Juna A. Kollmeier +3

We present new results on the Ly-alpha emission-line kinematics of 18 z~2-3 star-forming galaxies with multiple-peaked Ly-alpha profiles. With our large spectroscopic database of U…

An HST/WFC3-IR Morphological Survey of Galaxies at z = 1.5-3.6: I. Survey Description and Morphological Properties of Star Forming Galaxies

David R. Law, Charles C. Steidel, Alice E. Shapley +3

We present the results of a 42-orbit HST/WFC3 survey of the rest-frame optical morphologies of star forming galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the range z=1.5-3.6. The survey…

The metallicity dependence of the CO {\rightarrow} H_2 conversion factor in z>1 star forming galaxies

R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, F. Combes +20

We use the first systematic samples of CO millimeter emission in z>1 'main-sequence' star forming galaxies (SFGs) to study the metallicity dependence of the conversion factor αCO,…

The Mass-Radius Relation for Star-Forming Galaxies at z ~ 1.5-3.0

Sarah R. Nagy, David R. Law, Alice E. Shapley +1

We present early results from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3/IR imaging survey of star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 1.5 < z < 3.0. When complete, this survey will co…

Constraints on the assembly and dynamics of galaxies. II. Properties of kiloparsec-scale clumps in rest-frame optical emission of z ~ 2 star-forming galaxies

N. M. Förster Schreiber, A. E. Shapley, R. Genzel +11

We study the properties of luminous stellar clumps identified in deep, high resolution HST/NIC2 F160W imaging at 1.6um of six z~2 star-forming galaxies with existing near-IR integr…
