Color Distributions, Number and Mass Densities of Massive Galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3: Comparing Observations with Merger Simulations
Stijn Wuyts, Marijn Franx, Thomas J. Cox +9
We present a comparison between the observed color distribution, number and mass density of massive galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3 and a model by Hopkins et al. that relates the quasar an…
The SINS Survey: Broad Emission Lines in High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies
Kristen L. Shapiro, Reinhard Genzel, Eliot Quataert +19
High signal-to-noise, representative spectra of star-forming galaxies at z~2, obtained via stacking, reveal a high-velocity component underneath the narrow H-alpha and [NII] emissi…
Kinemetry of SINS High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies: Distinguishing Rotating Disks from Major Mergers
K. L. Shapiro, R. Genzel, N. M. Forster Schreiber +23
We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our criteria a…
A Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Survey of K-selected Galaxies at z~2.3: Redshifts and Implications for Broadband Photometric Studies
Mariska Kriek, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Marijn Franx +10
Using the Gemini Near-InfraRed Spectrograph (GNIRS), we have completed a near-infrared spectroscopic survey for K-bright galaxies at z~2.3, selected from the MUSYC survey. We deriv…
Spatially Resolved Spitzer-IRS Spectroscopy of the Central Region of M82
P. Beirão, B. R. Brandl, P. N. Appleton +6
We present high spatial resolution (~ 35 parsec) 5-38 um spectra of the central region of M82, taken with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. From these spectra we determined the fl…
The SINFONI MgII Program for Line Emitters (SIMPLE): Discovering starbursts near QSO sight-lines
Nicolas Bouche, Michael T. Murphy, Celine Peroux +4
Low-ionization transitions such as the MgII 2796/2803 doublet trace cold gas in the vicinity of galaxies. It is not clear whether this gas is part of the interstellar medium of lar…
