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,…

Constraints on the assembly and dynamics of galaxies. II. Properties of kiloparsec-scale clumps in rest-frame optical emission of z ~ 2 star-forming galaxies

N. M. Förster Schreiber, A. E. Shapley, R. Genzel +11

We study the properties of luminous stellar clumps identified in deep, high resolution HST/NIC2 F160W imaging at 1.6um of six z~2 star-forming galaxies with existing near-IR integr…

The SINS survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: properties of the giant star forming clumps

R. Genzel, S. Newman, T. Jones +24

We have studied the properties of giant star forming clumps in five z~2 star-forming disks with deep SINFONI AO spectroscopy at the ESO VLT. The clumps reside in disk regions where…
