The zCOSMOS-SINFONI Project I: Sample Selection and Natural-Seeing Observations

Chiara Mancini, Natascha Foerster Schreiber, Alvio Renzini +21

The zCOSMOS SINFONI project is aimed at studying the physical and kinematical properties of a sample of massive z~1.4-2.5 star-forming galaxies, through SINFONI near-IR integral fi…

The SAURON Project - XX. The Spitzer [3.6] - [4.5] colour in early-type galaxies: colours, colour gradients and inverted scaling relations

Reynier F. Peletier, Elif Kutdemir, Guido van der Wolk +15

We investigate the [3.6] - [4.5] Spitzer-IRAC colour behaviour of the early-type galaxies of the SAURON survey, a representative sample of 48 nearby ellipticals and lenticulars. We…

A dynamical mass estimator for high z galaxies based on spectroastrometry

A. Gnerucci, A. Marconi, G. Cresci +6

Galaxy dynamical masses are important physical quantities to constrain galaxy evolutionary models, especially at high redshifts. However, at z~2 the limited signal to noise ratio a…

How well can we Measure the Intrinsic Velocity Dispersion of Distant Disk Galaxies?

R. Davies, N. M. Forster Schreiber, G. Cresci +13

The kinematics of distant galaxies, from z=0.1 to z>2, play a key role in our understanding of galaxy evolution from early times to the present. One of the important parameters is…

The SAURON Project - XIX. Optical and near-infrared scaling relations of nearby elliptical, lenticular and Sa galaxies

J. Falcón-Barroso, G. van de Ven, R. F. Peletier +16

[Abridged] We present ground-based MDM V-band and Spitzer/IRAC 3.6um-band photometric observations of the 72 representative galaxies of the SAURON Survey. In combination with the S…

The metallicity dependence of the CO {\rightarrow} H_2 conversion factor in z>1 star forming galaxies

R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, F. Combes +20

We use the first systematic samples of CO millimeter emission in z>1 'main-sequence' star forming galaxies (SFGs) to study the metallicity dependence of the conversion factor αCO,…
