The Dawes Review 1: Kinematic studies of star-forming galaxies across cosmic time

摘要: The last seven years have seen an explosion in the number of Integral Field galaxy surveys, obtaining resolved 2D spectroscopy, especially at high-redshift. These taken advantage mature capabilities 8-10 m class telescopes and development associated technology such as AO. Surveys leveraged both high spectroscopic resolution enabling internal velocity measurements spatial from AO techniques sites with excellent natural seeing. For first time, we been able to glimpse kinematic state matter young, assembling star-forming galaxies learn detailed astrophysical information about physical processes compare their scaling relations those local Universe. Observers measured disc rotation, merger signatures, turbulence-enhanced dispersions gas-rich discs. Theorists interpreted signatures a variety ways (rotation, merging, outflows, feedback) attempted discuss evolution vs. theoretical models relate it morphology. A key point that has emerged this activity is substantial fractions high-redshift regular morphologies despite irregular photometric likely due presence large highly There not yet review burgeoning topic. In Dawes review, I will extensive surveys done arisen for young
