Training the Next Generation of Astronomers
Peter K. G. Williams, Eric Huff, Holly Maness +28
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a…
Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2: An Emerging Picture of Galaxy Dynamics and Assembly
Kristen L. Shapiro, Reinhard Genzel, Nicolas Bouché +9
In these proceedings, we summarize recent results from our "SINS" VLT/SINFONI integral-field survey, focusing on the 52 detected UV/optically-selected star-forming galaxies at z~2.…
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…
From rings to bulges: evidence for rapid secular galaxy evolution at z~2 from integral field spectroscopy in the SINS survey
R. Genzel, A. Burkert, N. Bouche +22
We present Ha integral field spectroscopy of well resolved, UV/optically selected z~2 star-forming galaxies as part of the SINS survey with SINFONI on the ESO VLT. Our laser guide…
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…
Dynamical Properties of z~2 Star Forming Galaxies and a Universal Star Formation Relation
N. Bouche, G. Cresci, R. Davies +17
We present the first comparison of the dynamical properties of different samples of z~1.4-3.4 star forming galaxies from spatially resolved imaging spectroscopy from SINFONI/VLT in…
