Modeling the Star Forming Universe at Z=2: Impact of Cold Accretion Flows
We present results of a semi-analytic model (SAM) that includes cold accretion and a porosity-based prescription for star formation. We can recover the puzzling observational results of low V/σ seen in various massive disk or disk-like galaxies, if we allow 18 % of the accretion energy from cold flows to drive turbulence in gaseous disks at z = 2. The increase of gas mass through cold flows is ...
متن کاملThe Kennicutt-Schmidt Star Formation Relation at z~2
Recent observations of excited CO emission lines from z ∼ 2 disc galaxies have shed light on the SFR ∝ ρN relation at high z via observed SFR– COJ=2−1 and SFR– COJ=3−2 relations. Here, we describe a novel methodology for utilizing these observations of high-excitation CO to derive the underlying Schmidt (SFR∝ ρN) relationship. To do this requires an understanding of the potential effects of dif...
متن کاملThe Projective Fundamental Group of a Z 2 -shift Projective Fundamental Group of a Z 2 -shift)
We deene a new invariant for symbolic Z 2-actions, the projective fundamental group. This invariant is the limit of an inverse system of groups, each of which is the fundamental group of a space associated with the Z 2-action. The limit group measures a kind of long-distance order that is manifested along loops in the plane, and roughly speaking bears the same relation to the mixing properties ...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Plane of Cluster Ellipticals at Z = 1.25
Using deep HST ACS imaging and VLT FORS2 spectra, we determined the velocity dispersions, effective radii and surface brightnesses for four early-type galaxies in the z = 1.237 cluster RDCS 1252.9-2927. All four galaxies are massive, > 10 11 M ⊙. These four galaxies, combined with three from RDCS 0848+4453 at z = 1.276, establish the Fundamental Plane of massive early-type cluster galaxies at ¯...
متن کاملThe insignificance of major mergers in driving star formation at z≃2
We study the significance of major-merger-driven star formation in the early Universe, by quantifying the contribution of this process to the total star formation budget in 80 massive (M∗ > 10 10 M⊙) galaxies at z ≃ 2. Employing visually-classified morphologies from rest-frame V -band HST imaging, we find that 55% of the star formation budget is hosted by non-interacting late-types, with 27% in...
