Fast rotating and low-turbulence discs at <i>z</i> ? 4.5: Dynamical evidence of their evolution into local early-type galaxies

چکیده
Massive starburst galaxies in the early Universe are estimated to have depletion times of $\sim 100$ Myr and thus be able convert their gas very quickly into stars, possibly leading a rapid quenching star formation. For these reasons, they considered progenitors massive early-type (ETGs). In this paper, we study two high-$z$ starbursts, AzTEC/C159 ($z\simeq 4.57$) J1000+0234 4.54$), observed with ALMA [CII] 158-$\mu$m emission line. These observations reveal regularly rotating gaseous discs. A 3D modelling discs returns rotation velocities about $500$ km/s velocity dispersions as low $\approx 20$ km/s, high ratios between regular random motion ($V/\sigma {\lower.7ex\hbox{$\;\stackrel{\textstyle>}{\sim}\;$}} 20$), at least AzTEC/C159. The mass decompositions curves show that both highly baryon-dominated masses 10^{11}M_{\odot}$, which, for J1000+0234, is significantly higher than previous estimates. We overlap $z=0$ ETGs ETG analogue stellar-mass Tully-Fisher relation once converted stars. This provides dynamical evidence connection starbursts ETGs, although transformation mechanism from fast nearly pressure-supported systems remains unclear.

Dynamical stability and evolution of the discs of Sc galaxies
We examine the local stability of galactic discs against axisymmetric density perturbations with special attention to the different dynamics of the stellar and gaseous components. In particular the discs of the Milky Way and of NGC 6946 are studied. The Milky Way is shown to be stable, whereas the inner parts of NGC 6946, a typical Sc galaxy from the Kennicutt (1989) sample, are dynamically uns...
متن کاملExcursions into the Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies in Clusters
Recent observations have revealed that early-type galaxies (ETG) in clusters comprise an old galaxy population that is evolving passively. We review some recent observations from the ground and from the HST that show that ETG have undergone a significant amount of luminosity evolution. This evolution is traced by two projections of the fundamental plane (FP): the size-magnitude relation (SMR) a...
متن کاملFormation and dynamical evolution of galaxies and of their components
From this vast subject, I will pick out and review three specific topics, namely the formation and evolution of bars, the formation of bulges, and the evolution during multiple major mergers. Bars form naturally in galactic discs. Their evolution is driven by the exchange of angular momentum within the galaxy. This is emitted mainly by near-resonant material in the inner disc (bar), and is abso...
متن کاملEvolution and environment of early-type galaxies
We study the photometric and spectral properties of 39320 early-type galaxies within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), as a function of both local environment and redshift. The distance to the nearest cluster of galaxies (scaled by the virial radius of the cluster) and the distance to the 10 nearest luminous neighbor (Mr < −21.5) were used to define two extremes in environment. The propertie...
متن کاملNuclear stellar discs in early-type galaxies — II. Photometric properties
Hubble Space Telescope images of two early-type galaxies harboring both nuclear and outer stellar discs are studied in detail. By means of a photometric decomposition, the images of NGC 4342 and NGC 4570 are analyzed and the photometric properties of the nuclear discs investigated. We find a continuity of properties in the parameter space defined by the central surface brightness μ0 and the sca...
