Evidence for Mature Bulges and an Inside-out Quenching Phase 3 Billion Years After the Big Bang
S. Tacchella, C. M. Carollo, A. Renzini +14
Most present-day galaxies with stellar masses solar masses show no ongoing star formation and are dense spheroids. Ten billion years ago, similarly massive galaxies w…
The SINS/zC-SINF Survey of z~2 Galaxy Kinematics: Rest-frame Morphology, Structure, and Colors from Near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope Imaging
S. Tacchella, P. Lang, C. M. Carollo +14
We present the analysis of HST - and -band imaging for 29 galaxies on the star-forming main sequence at , which have Adaptive Optics VLT SINFONI integral field spectr…
The SINS/zC-SINF survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: Evidence for powerful AGN-driven nuclear outflows in massive star-forming galaxies
N. M. Förster Schreiber, R. Genzel, S. F. Newman +29
We report the detection of ubiquitous powerful nuclear outflows in massive (> 10^11 Msun) z~2 star-forming galaxies (SFGs), which are plausibly driven by an Active Galactic Nucleus…
The SINS/zC-SINF survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: evidence for gravitational quenching
R. Genzel, N. M. Förster Schreiber, P. Lang +25
As part of the SINS/zC-SINF surveys of high-z galaxy kinematics, we derive the radial distributions of H-alpha surface brightness, stellar mass surface density, and dynamical mass…
Nebular Excitation in z~2 Star-forming Galaxies from the SINS and LUCI Surveys: The Influence of Shocks and AGN
S. F. Newman, P. Buschkamp, R. Genzel +24
Based on high-resolution, spatially resolved data of 10 z~2 star-forming galaxies from the SINS/zC-SINF survey and LUCI data for 12 additional galaxies, we probe the excitation pro…
PHIBSS: molecular gas, extinction, star formation and kinematics in the z=1.5 star forming galaxy EGS13011166
R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, J. Kurk +23
We report matched resolution, imaging spectroscopy of the CO J=3-2 line (with the IRAM Plateau de Bure millimeter interferometer) and of the H-alpha line (with LUCI at the Large Bi…
Towards a resolved Kennicutt-Schmidt law at high redshift
J. Freundlich, F. Combes, L. J. Tacconi +16
Massive galaxies in the distant Universe form stars at much higher rates than today. Although direct resolution of the star forming regions of these galaxies is still a challenge,…
PHIBSS: molecular gas content and scaling relations in z~1-3 normal star forming galaxies
L. J. Tacconi, R. Neri, R. Genzel +21
We present PHIBSS, the IRAM Plateau de Bure high-z blue sequence CO 3-2 survey of the molecular gas properties in normal star forming galaxies (SFGs) near the cosmic star formation…
The SINS/zC-SINF Survey of z~2 Galaxy Kinematics: The Nature of Dispersion Dominated Galaxies
Sarah F. Newman, Reinhard Genzel, Natascha M. Forster Schreiber +22
We analyze the spectra, spatial distributions and kinematics of Ha, [NII] and [SII] emission in a sample of 42, z~2.2 UV/optically selected star forming galaxies (SFGs) from the SI…
The SINS/zC-SINF survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: Outflow properties
Sarah F. Newman, Reinhard Genzel, Natascha Forster-Schreiber +22
Based on SINFONI Ha, [NII] and [SII] AO data of 30 z \sim 2 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the SINS and zcSINF surveys, we find a strong correlation of the Ha broad flux fractio…
Shocked Superwinds from the z~2 Clumpy Star-forming Galaxy, ZC406690
Sarah F. Newman, Kristen Shapiro Griffin, Reinhard Genzel +20
We have obtained high-resolution data of the z 2 ring-like, clumpy star-forming galaxy (SFG) ZC406690 using the VLT/SINFONI with AO (in K-band) and in seeing-limited mode (in H- an…
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 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,…
