- Description:
- We present the clustering of Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe 2 (DEEP2) galaxies at 0.7<z<1.4 around quasars identified using both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and DEEP2 surveys. We measure the two-point cross-correlation of a sample of 36 optically selected, spectroscopically identified quasars from the SDSS and 16 more found in the DEEP2 survey with the full DEEP2 galaxy sample over scales 0.1h^-1^MPc<r_p_<10h^-1^Mpc.

- Description:
- Using spectroscopic data from the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe Groth Strip Survey (DGSS), we analyze the gas-phase oxygen abundances in the warm ionized medium for 64 emission-line field galaxies in the redshift range 0.26<z<0.82. These galaxies comprise a small subset selected from among 693 objects in the DGSS. They are chosen for chemical analysis by virtue of having the strongest emission lines. Oxygen abundances relative to hydrogen are in the range 8.4<12+log(O/H)<9.0 with typical internal plus systematic measurement uncertainties of 0.17dex. The 64 DGSS galaxies collectively exhibit an increase in metallicity with B-band luminosity, i.e., an L-Z relation like that seen among local galaxies. Using the DGSS sample and local galaxy samples for comparison, we searched for a "second parameter" that might explain some of the dispersion seen in the L-Z relation. Parameters such as galaxy color, emission-line equivalent width, and effective radius were explored but found to be uncorrelated with residuals from the mean L-Z relation.

- Description:
- We present a candidate sample of luminous bulges (including ellipticals) found within the Groth Strip Survey (GSS), with spectroscopic redshifts of 0.73<z<1.04 from the Keck Telescope. This work is distinguished by its use of two-dimensional two-component decomposition photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images to separate the bulge from any disk before applying the sample selection and to measure disk-free colors. We define a statistically complete sample of 86 bulges with r^1/4^ profiles and luminosities brighter than I_AB_=24. Although larger samples of distant early-type galaxies exist, this is the largest and most homogeneous sample of bulges at z~1 with spectroscopy. A brighter subset of 52 objects with added structural constraints defines our "quality sample" that is used to explore bulge luminosities and colors.

- Description:
- We present the luminosity function and color-redshift relation of a magnitude-limited sample of 145 mostly red field E/S0 galaxies at z<~1 from the DEEP Groth Strip Survey (GSS). Using nearby galaxy images as a training set, we develop a quantitative method to classify E/S0 galaxies based on smoothness, symmetry, and bulge-to-total light ratio. Using this method, we identify 145 E/S0's at 16.5<I<22 within the GSS, for which 44 spectroscopic redshifts (z_spec_) are available. Most of the galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts (86%) form a "red envelope" in the redshift-color diagram, consistent with predictions of spectral synthesis models in which the dominant stellar population is formed at redshifts z>~1.5.

- Description:
- New wideband continuum observations in the 1-2GHz band of the GOODS-N field using NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) are presented. The best image with an effective frequency of 1525MHz reaches an rms noise in the field center of 2.2{mu}Jy, with 1.6" resolution. A catalog of 795 sources is presented covering a radius of 9 arcminutes centered near the nominal center for the GOODS-N field, very near the nominal VLA pointing center for the observations. Optical/NIR identifications and redshift estimates both from ground-based and HST observations are discussed. Using these optical/NIR data, it is most likely that fewer than 2% of the sources without confusion problems do not have a correct identification. A large subset of the detected sources have radio sizes >1". It is shown that the radio orientations for such sources correlate well with the HST source orientations, especially for z<1. This suggests that a least a large subset of the 10kpc-scale disks of luminous infrared/ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRG/ULIRG) have strong star formation, not just in the nucleus. For the half of the objects with z>1, the sample must be some mixture of very high star formation rates, typically 300M_{sun}_/yr, assuming pure star formation, and an active galactic nucleus (AGN) or a mixed AGN/star formation population.

- Description:
- We assemble and observe a sample of poor galaxy systems that is suitable for testing N-body simulations of hierarchical clustering and other dynamical halo models. We (1) determine the parameters of the density profile {Rho}(r) and the velocity dispersion profile {sigma}_p_(R), (2) separate emission-line galaxies from absorption-line galaxies, examining the model parameters, {beta}, and as a function of spectroscopic type, and (3) for the best-behaved subsample, constrain the velocity anisotropy parameter, {beta}, which determines the shapes of the galaxy orbits. Our sample consists of 20 systems, 12 of which have extended X-ray emission in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. We measure the 877 optical spectra of galaxies brighter than m_R_~15.4 within 1.5h^-1^Mpc of the system centers (we take H_0_=100h*km/s/Mpc). Thus, we sample the system membership to a radius typically three times larger than other recent optical group surveys. The average system population is 30 galaxies, and the average line-of-sight velocity dispersion is ~300km/s. The Navarro, Frenk, & White universal profile and the Hernquist model both provide good descriptions of the spatial data. In most cases an isothermal sphere is ruled out. Systems with declining {sigma}_p_(R) are well-matched by theoretical profiles in which the star-forming galaxies have predominantly radial orbits ({beta}>0); many of these galaxies are probably falling in for the first time. There is significant evidence for spatial segregation of the spectroscopic classes regardless of {sigma}_p_(R).

- Description:
- We present new measures of the evolving scaling relations between stellar mass, luminosity and rotational velocity for a morphologically inclusive sample of 129 disk-like galaxies with z_AB_<22.5 in the redshift range 0.2<z<1.3, based on spectra from DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph on the Keck II telescope, multi-color Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys photometry, and ground-based Ks-band imaging. A unique feature of our survey is the extended spectroscopic integration times, leading to significant improvements in determining characteristic rotational velocities for each galaxy. Rotation curves are reliably traced to the radius where they begin to flatten for ~90% of our sample, and we model the HST-resolved bulge and disk components in order to accurately de-project our measured velocities, accounting for seeing and dispersion. We demonstrate the merit of these advances by recovering an intrinsic scatter on the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation a factor of two to three less than in previous studies at intermediate redshift and comparable to that of locally determined relations. With our increased precision, we find that the relation is well established by <z>~1, with no significant evolution to <z>~0.3, {Delta}M_*_~0.04+/-0.07dex. A clearer trend of evolution is seen in the B-band Tully-Fisher relation corresponding to a decline in luminosity of {Delta}M_B_~0.85+/-0.28 magnitudes at fixed velocity over the same redshift range, reflecting the changes in star formation over this period. As an illustration of the opportunities possible when gas masses are available for a sample such as ours, we show how our dynamical and stellar mass data can be used to evaluate the likely contributions of baryons and dark matter to the assembly history of spiral galaxies.

- Description:
- Scaling relations between galaxy structures and dynamics have been studied extensively for early- and late-type galaxies, both in the local universe and at high redshifts. The abundant differences between the properties of disky and elliptical, or star-forming and quiescent, galaxies seem to be characteristic of the local universe; such clear distinctions begin to disintegrate as observations of massive galaxies probe higher redshifts. In this paper we investigate the existence of the mass fundamental plane of all massive galaxies ({sigma}>~100km/s). This work includes local galaxies (0.05<z<0.07) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, in addition to 31 star-forming and 72 quiescent massive galaxies at intermediate redshift (z~0.7) with absorption-line kinematics from deep Keck-DEIMOS spectra and structural parameters from Hubble Space Telescope imaging. In two-parameter scaling relations, star-forming and quiescent galaxies differ structurally and dynamically. However, we show that massive star-forming and quiescent galaxies lie on nearly the same mass fundamental plane, or the relationship between stellar mass surface density, stellar velocity dispersion, and effective radius. The scatter in this relation (measured about log{sigma}) is low: 0.072dex (0.055dex intrinsic) at z~0 and 0.10dex (0.08dex intrinsic) at z~0.7. This 3D surface is not unique: virial relations, with or without a dependence on luminosity profile shapes, can connect galaxy structures and stellar dynamics with similar scatter. This result builds on the recent finding that mass fundamental plane has been stable for early-type galaxies since z~2. As we now find that this also holds for star-forming galaxies to z~0.7, this implies that these scaling relations of galaxies will be minimally susceptible to progenitor biases owing to the evolving stellar populations, structures, and dynamics of galaxies through cosmic time.

- DEIMOS 10K spectroscopic survey in COSMOS field
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/858/77
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 10718 objects in the COSMOS field, observed through multi-slit spectroscopy with the Deep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph (DEIMOS) on the Keck II telescope in the wavelength range ~5500-9800{AA}. The catalog contains 6617 objects with high-quality spectra (two or more spectral features), and 1798 objects with a single spectroscopic feature confirmed by the photometric redshift. For 2024 typically faint objects, we could not obtain reliable redshifts. The objects have been selected from a variety of input catalogs based on multi-wavelength observations in the field, and thus have a diverse selection function, which enables the study of the diversity in the galaxy population. The magnitude distribution of our objects is peaked at I_AB_~23 and K_AB_~21, with a secondary peak at K_AB_~24. We sample a broad redshift distribution in the range 0<z<6, with one peak at z~1, and another one around z~4. We have identified 13 redshift spikes at z>0.65 with chance probabilities <4x10^-4^, some of which are clearly related to protocluster structures of sizes >10Mpc. An object-to-object comparison with a multitude of other spectroscopic samples in the same field shows that our DEIMOS sample is among the best in terms of fraction of spectroscopic failures and relative redshift accuracy. We have determined the fraction of spectroscopic blends to about 0.8% in our sample. This is likely a lower limit and at any rate well below the most pessimistic expectations. Interestingly, we find evidence for strong lensing of Ly{alpha} background emitters within the slits of 12 of our target galaxies, increasing their apparent density by about a factor of 4.

- Description:
- We compile 1113 redshifts (648 new measurements, 465 from the literature) for Zwicky catalog galaxies (Cat. <VII/4>) in the region (-3.5{deg}<={delta}<=8.5{deg}, 11.5h<={alpha}<=13.5h). We include redshifts for 114 component objects in 78 Zwicky catalog multiplets. The redshift survey in this region is 99.5% complete to the Zwicky catalog limit, m_Zw_=15.7. It is 99.9% complete to m_Zw_=15.5, the CfA Redshift Survey (CfA2) magnitude limit. The survey region is adjacent to the northern portion of CfA2, overlaps the northernmost slice of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (Cat. <VII/203>), includes the southern extent of the Virgo Cluster, and is roughly centered on the QSO 3C 273. As in other portions of the Zwicky catalog, bright and faint galaxies trace the same large-scale structure.
