ABSTRACT As a considerable investment of time from various telescope facilities was dedicated toward studying the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.2, it so far remains one most extensively studied protocluster. We report here latest results in this field, adding new dimension to previous research on cluster formation high redshift. Previous studies have reported significant overdensity (δ ∼ 10) massive Hα (+ [N ii])-emitting galaxies 3700 comoving Mpc3. Many these were previously considered...
We present 0".2-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations at 870 um for 25 Halpha-seleced star-forming galaxies (SFGs) around the main-sequence z=2.2-2.5. detect significant continuum emission in 16 (64%) of these SFGs. The high-resolution maps reveal that dust is mostly radiated from a single region close to galaxy center. Exploiting visibility data taken over wide $uv$ distance range, we measure half-light radii rest-frame far-infrared best sample 12 massive with...

The spatial extent molecular gas is also Re=1.9 Re=2.3 kpc, but more extended than dust Interpreting observed position-velocity diagrams dynamical models, we find starburst to be rotation-dominated ratio maximum rotation velocity local dispersion...

This eliminates need specify...
ABSTRACT Low-mass galaxies at high redshifts are the building blocks of more massive later times and thus key populations for understanding galaxy formation evolution. We have made deep narrow-band observations two protoclusters general field in COSMOS z ∼ 2. In a clumpy young protocluster, USS1558−003, = 2.53, we find many star-forming well above main sequence low-mass end ($M_{\star }/\mathrm{{\rm M}_{\odot }}\lt 10^{8.9}$). This suggests that some environmental effects may be work...
Using star-forming galaxies sample in the nearby Universe (0.02<z<0.10) selected from SDSS (DR7) and GALEX all-sky survey (GR5), we present a new empirical calibration for predicting dust extinction of H-alpha-to-FUV flux ratio. We find that H-alpha (A(Ha)) derived with H-alpha/H-beta ratio (Balmer decrement) increases increasing H-alpha/UV as expected, but there remains considerable scatter around relation, which is largely dependent on stellar mass and/or equivalent width (EW(Ha)). At...
