Using a sample of 25683 star-forming and 2821 passive galaxies at $zsim2$, selected in the COSMOS field following the BzK color criterion, we study the hosting halo mass and environment of galaxies as a function of their physical properties. Spitzer and Herschel provide accurate SFR estimates for starburst galaxies. We measure the auto- and cross-correlation functions of various galaxy sub-samples and infer the properties of their hosting halos using both an HOD model and the linear bias at large scale. We find that passive and star-forming galaxies obey a similarly rising relation between the halo and stellar mass. The mean host halo mass of star forming galaxies increases with the star formation rate between 30 and 200 M$_odot$.yr$^{-1}$, but flattens for higher values, except if we select only main-sequence galaxies. This reflects the expected transition from a regime of secular co-evolution of the halos and the galaxies to a regime of episodic starburst. We find similar large scale biases for main-sequence, passive, and starburst galaxies at equal stellar mass, suggesting that these populations live in halos of the same mass. We detect an excess of clustering on small scales for passive galaxies and showed, by measuring the large-scale bias of close pairs, that this excess is caused by a small fraction ($sim16%$) of passive galaxies being hosted by massive halos ($sim 3 times 10^{13}$ M$_odot$) as satellites. Finally, extrapolating the growth of halos hosting the z$sim$2 population, we show that M$_star sim 10^{10}$ M$_odot$ galaxies at z$sim$2 will evolve, on average, into massive (M$_star sim 10^{11}$ M$_odot$), field galaxies in the local Universe and M$_star sim 10^{11}$ M$_odot$ galaxies at z=2 into local, massive, group galaxies. The most massive main-sequence galaxies and close pairs of massive, passive galaxies end up in todays clusters.

There is a large consensus that gas in high-$z$ galaxies is highly turbulent, because of a combination of stellar feedback processes and gravitational instabilities driven by mergers and gas accretion. In this paper, we present the analysis of a samp
le of five Dusty Star Forming Galaxies (DSFGs) at $4 lesssim zlesssim 5$. Taking advantage of the magnifying power of strong gravitational lensing, we quantified their kinematic and dynamical properties from ALMA observations of their [CII] emission line. We combined the dynamical measurements obtained for these galaxies with those obtained from previous studies to build the largest sample of $z sim 4.5$ galaxies with high-quality data and sub-kpc spatial resolutions, so far. We found that all galaxies in the sample are dynamically cold, with rotation-to-random motion ratios, $V/sigma$, between 7 to 15. The relation between their velocity dispersions and their star-formation rates indicates that stellar feedback is sufficient to sustain the turbulence within these galaxies and no further mechanisms are needed. In addition, we performed a rotation curve decomposition to infer the relative contribution of the baryonic (gas, stars) and dark matter components to the total gravitational potentials. This analysis allowed us to compare the structural properties of the studied DSFGs with those of their descendants, the local early type galaxies. In particular, we found that five out of six galaxies of the sample show the dynamical signature of a bulge, indicating that the spheroidal component is already in place at $z sim 4.5$.
We perform a kinematic analysis of galaxies at $zsim2$ in the COSMOS legacy field using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy from Keck/MOSFIRE as part of the ZFIRE survey. Our sample consists of 75 Ks-band selected star-forming galaxies from the ZFOURGE
survey with stellar masses ranging from log(M$_{star}$/M$_{odot}$)$=9.0-11.0$, 28 of which are members of a known overdensity at $z=2.095$. We measure H$alpha$ emission-line integrated velocity dispersions ($sigma_{rm int}$) from 50$-$230 km s$^{-1}$, consistent with other emission-line studies of $zsim2$ field galaxies. From these data we estimate virial, stellar, and gas masses and derive correlations between these properties for cluster and field galaxies at $zsim2$. We find evidence that baryons dominate within the central effective radius. However, we find no statistically significant differences between the cluster and the field, and conclude that the kinematics of star-forming galaxies at $zsim2$ are not significantly different between the cluster and field environments.
We present results of the MUSE-ALMA Halos, an ongoing study of the Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM) of low redshift galaxies (z < 1.4), currently comprising 14 strong HI absorbers in five quasar fields. We detect 43 galaxies associated with absorbers dow
n to star formation rate (SFR) limits of 0.01-0.1 solar masses/yr, found within impact parameters (b) of 250 kpc from the quasar sightline. Excluding the targeted absorbers, we report a high detection rate of 89 per cent and find that most absorption systems are associated with pairs or groups of galaxies (three to eleven members). We note that galaxies with the smallest impact parameters are not necessarily the closest to the absorbing gas in velocity space. Using a multi-wavelength dataset (UVES/HIRES, HST, MUSE), we combine metal and HI column densities, allowing for derivation of the lower limits of neutral gas metallicity as well as emission line diagnostics (SFR, metallicities) of the ionised gas in the galaxies. We find that groups of associated galaxies follow the canonical relations of N(HI) -- b and W_r(2796) -- b, defining a region in parameter space below which no absorbers are detected. The metallicity of the ISM of associated galaxies, when measured, is higher than the metallicity limits of the absorber. In summary, our findings suggest that the physical properties of the CGM of complex group environments would benefit from associating the kinematics of individual absorbing components with each galaxy member.
We study the morphological and structural properties of the host galaxies associated with 57 optically-selected luminous type 2 AGN at $zsim$0.3-0.4: 16 high-luminosity Seyfert 2 (HLSy2, 8.0$le$log($L_{rm [OIII]}/L_{odot})<$8.3) and 41 obscured quasa
rs (QSO2, log($L_{rm [OIII]}/L_{odot})ge$8.3). With this work, the total number of QSO2 at $z<1$ with parametrized galaxies increases from $sim$35 to 76. Our analysis is based on HST WFPC2 and ACS images that we fit with {sc GALFIT}. HLSy2 and QSO2 show a wide diversity of galaxy hosts. The main difference lies in the higher incidence of highly-disturbed systems among QSO2. This is consistent with a scenario in which galaxy interactions are the dominant mechanism triggering nuclear activity at the highest AGN power. There is a strong dependence of galaxy properties with AGN power (assuming $L_ {rm [OIII]}$ is an adequate proxy). The relative contribution of the spheroidal component to the total galaxy light (B/T) increases with $L_ {rm [OIII]}$. While systems dominated by the spheoridal component spread across the total range of $L_ {rm [OIII]}$, most disk-dominated galaxies concentrate at log($L_{rm [OIII]}/L_{odot})<$8.6. This is expected if more powerful AGN are powered by more massive black holes which are hosted by more massive bulges or spheroids. The average galaxy sizes ($langle r_{rm e} rangle$) are 5.0$pm$1.5 kpc for HLSy2 and 3.9$pm$0.6 kpc for HLSy2 and QSO2 respectively. These are significantly smaller than those found for QSO1 and narrow line radio galaxies at similar $z$. We put the results of our work in context of related studies of AGN with quasar-like luminosities.
We compare the physical and morphological properties of z ~ 2 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) identified in the HETDEX Pilot Survey and narrow band studies with those of z ~ 2 optical emission line galaxies (oELGs) identified via HST WFC3 infrar
ed grism spectroscopy. Both sets of galaxies extend over the same range in stellar mass (7.5 < logM < 10.5), size (0.5 < R < 3.0 kpc), and star-formation rate (~1 < SFR < 100). Remarkably, a comparison of the most commonly used physical and morphological parameters -- stellar mass, half-light radius, UV slope, star formation rate, ellipticity, nearest neighbor distance, star formation surface density, specific star formation rate, [O III] luminosity, and [O III] equivalent width -- reveals no statistically significant differences between the populations. This suggests that the processes and conditions which regulate the escape of Ly-alpha from a z ~ 2 star-forming galaxy do not depend on these quantities. In particular, the lack of dependence on the UV slope suggests that Ly-alpha emission is not being significantly modulated by diffuse dust in the interstellar medium. We develop a simple model of Ly-alpha emission that connects LAEs to all high-redshift star forming galaxies where the escape of Ly-alpha depends on the sightline through the galaxy. Using this model, we find that mean solid angle for Ly-alpha escape is 2.4+/-0.8 steradians; this value is consistent with those calculated from other studies.
