Integral Field Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Star Forming Galaxies with Laser Guided Adaptive Optics: Evidence for Dispersion-Dominated Kinematics
David R. Law, Charles C. Steidel, Dawn K. Erb +4
We present early results from an ongoing study of the kinematic structure of star-forming galaxies at redshift z ~ 2 - 3 using integral-field spectroscopy of rest-frame optical neb…
Morphologies of Galaxies in and around a Protocluster at z=2.300
Annika H. G. Peter, Alice E. Shapley, David R. Law +4
We present results from the first robust investigation of galaxy morphology as a function of environment at z>1.5. Our study is motivated by the fact that star-forming galaxies con…
The Physical Nature of Rest-UV Galaxy Morphology During the Peak Epoch of Galaxy Formation
David R. Law, Charles C. Steidel, Dawn K. Erb +5
Motivated by the irregular and little-understood morphologies of z ~ 2 - 3 galaxies, we use non-parametric coefficents to quantify the morphologies of 216 galaxies which have been…
A Deep Proper-Motion Survey in Kapteyn Selected Areas: I. Survey Description and First Results for Stars in the Tidal Tail of Sagittarius and in the Monoceros Ring
Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Steven R. Majewski, Terrence M. Girard +4
We describe a high-precision, deep (to V ~ 19-21) absolute proper-motion survey that samples ~50 lines of sight in the Kapteyn Selected Areas along declination zones -15, 0 and 15…
A 2MASS All-Sky View of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy: Variation of the Metallicity Distribution Function Along the Sagittarius Stream
Mei-Yin Chou, Steven R. Majewski, Katia Cunha +9
We present reliable measurements of the metallicity distribution function (MDF) at different points along the tidal stream of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy,…
Predictions and Strategies for Integral-Field Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Galaxies
David R. Law, Charles C. Steidel, Dawn K. Erb
We investigate the ability of infrared integral-field spectrographs to map the velocity fields of high redshift galaxies, presenting a formalism which may be applied to any telesco…
