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…
What do we learn from IRAC observations of galaxies at 2 < z < 3.5?
Stijn Wuyts, Ivo Labbe, Marijn Franx +9
We analyze very deep HST, VLT and Spitzer photometry of galaxies at 2<z<3.5 in the Hubble Deep Field South. The sample is selected from the deepest public K-band imaging currently…
Measuring the Average Evolution of Luminous Galaxies at z<3: The Rest-frame Optical Luminosity Density, Spectral Energy Distribution, and Stellar Mass Density
Gregory Rudnick, Ivo Labbe, Natascha M. Foerster Schreiber +11
(Abridged) We present the evolution of the volume averaged properties of the rest-frame optically luminous galaxy population to z~3, determined from four disjoint deep fields with…
