Bar-driven secular evolution largely complete in a disk galaxy 7.6 billion years ago
Takafumi Tsukui, Zeyu Gao, Emily Wisnioski +4
Disk galaxies like the Milky Way are thought to evolve through internal dynamical processes: the stellar disk forms a bar, the bar drives gas inflow that builds a nuclear stellar d…
MSA-3D: Rotation Curves and Dark Matter Fractions at z~0.5-1.7 with JWST/NIRSpec
Juan M. Espejo Salcedo, Danail Obreschkow, Karl Glazebrook +17
We present rotation curves and inner mass distributions for 30 star-forming galaxies at , observed with JWST/NIRSpec as part of the MSA-3D Cycle 1 survey. Combining spat…
MSA-3D: Connecting the Chemical and Kinematic Structures of Galaxies at
Mengting Ju, Xin Wang, Tucker Jones +12
We investigate the connection between ionized gas kinematics and gas-phase metallicity gradients in 21 star-forming galaxies at from the MSA-3D survey, using spatia…
Revealing the nature of the starburst galaxies in the overdensity HATLAS J0849
Melanie Kaasinen, Francesca Rizzo, Francesco Valentino +4
Today's most massive ellipticals are proposed to originate from starbursting galaxies in overdensities. To discern what triggers these starbursts, and their desce…
Through Thick and Thin: The Cosmic Evolution of Disk Scale Height
Si-Yue Yu, Luis C. Ho, Takafumi Tsukui +16
To investigate the formation and evolution of vertical structures in disk galaxies, we measure global scale heights, averaging thin and thick components whe…
