The intriguing life of star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 1 < z < 2 using MASSIV
P. Amram, C. Lopez-Sanjuan, B. Epinat +13
MASSIV (Massiv Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS) is an ESO large program which consists of 84 star-forming galaxies, spanning in a wide range of stellar masses, observed with t…
Mass Assembly of High-z Galaxies with MASSIV
V. Perret, B. Epinat, P. Amram +13
MASSIV (Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS) is a sample of 84 distant star-forming galaxies observed with the SINFONI Integral Field Unit (IFU) on the VLT. These galaxies ar…
MASSIV: Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS. V. The major merger rate of star-forming galaxies at 0.9 < z < 1.8 from IFS-based close pairs
C. López-Sanjuan, O. Le Fèvre, L. A. M. Tasca +12
We aim to measure the major merger rate of star-forming galaxies at 0.9 < z <1.8, using close pairs identified from integral field spectroscopy (IFS). We use the velocity field map…
MASSIV: Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS. IV. Fundamental relations of star-forming galaxies at 1<z< 1.6
D. Vergani, B. Epinat, T. Contini +10
How mass assembly occurs in galaxies and which process(es) contribute to this activity are among the most highly debated questions in galaxy formation theories. This has motivated…
MASSIV: Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS - II. Kinematics and close environment classification
B. Epinat, L. Tasca, P. Amram +12
(Abridged) Processes driving mass assembly are expected to evolve on different timescales along cosmic time. A transition might happen around z ~ 1 as the cosmic star formation rat…
MASSIV: Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS. III. Evidence for positive metallicity gradients in z~1.2 star-forming galaxies
J. Queyrel, T. Contini, M. Kissler-Patig +11
A key open issue for galaxy evolution and formation models is the understanding of the different mechanisms of galaxy assembly at various cosmic epochs. The aim of this study is to…
