We present a SINFONI integral field kinematical study of 33 galaxies at z~3 from the AMAZE and LSD projects which are aimed at studying metallicity and dynamics of high-redshift galaxies. The number of galaxies analyzed in this paper constitutes a significant improvement compared to existing data in the literature and this is the first time that a dynamical analysis is obtained for a relatively large sample of galaxies at z~3. 11 galaxies show ordered rotational motions (~30% of the sample), in these cases we estimate dynamical masses by modeling the gas kinematics with rotating disks and exponential mass distributions. We find dynamical masses in the range 2 times 10^9 Modot - 2 times 10^11 Modot with a mean value of ~ 2 times 10^10 Modot. By comparing observed gas velocity dispersion with that expected from models, we find that most rotating objects are dynamically hot, with intrinsic velocity dispersions of the order of ~90 km s-1. The median value of the ratio between the maximum disk rotational velocity and the intrinsic velocity dispersion for the rotating objects is 1.6, much lower than observed in local galaxies value (~10) and slightly lower than the z~2 value (2 - 4). Finally we use the maximum rotational velocity from our modeling to build a baryonic Tully-Fisher relation at z~3. Our measurements indicate that z~3 galaxies have lower stellar masses (by a factor of ten on average) compared to local galaxies with the same dynamical mass. However, the large observed scatter suggests that the Tully-Fisher relation is not yet in place at these early cosmic ages, possibly due to the young age of galaxies. A smaller dispersion of the Tuly-Fisher relation is obtained by taking into account the velocity dispersion with the use of the S_0.5 indicator, suggesting that turbulent motions might have an important dynamical role.

[abr.] Using the multi-integral-field spectrograph GIRAFFE at VLT, we previsouly derived the stellar-mass Tully-Fisher Relation (smTFR) at z~0.6, and found that the distant relation is systematically offset by roughly a factor of two toward lower mas
ses. We extend the study of the evolution of the TFR by establishing the first distant baryonic TFR. To derive gas masses in distant galaxies, we estimate a gas radius and invert the Schmidt-Kennicutt law between star formation rate and gas surface densities. We find that gas extends farther out than the UV light from young stars, a median of ~30%. We present the first baryonic TFR (bTFR) ever established at intermediate redshift and show that, within an uncertainty of +/-0.08 dex, the zeropoint of the bTFR does not appear to evolve between z~0.6 and z=0. The absence of evolution in the bTFR over the past 6 Gyr implies that no external gas accretion is required for distant rotating disks to sustain star formation until z=0 and convert most of their gas into stars. Finally, we confirm that the larger scatter found in the distant smTFR, and hence in the bTFR, is caused entirely by major mergers. This scatter results from a transfer of energy from bulk motions in the progenitors, to random motions in the remnants, generated by shocks during the merging. Shocks occurring during these events naturally explain the large extent of ionized gas found out to the UV radius in z~0.6 galaxies. All the results presented in this paper support the ``spiral rebuilding scenario of Hammer and collaborators, i.e., that a large fraction of local spiral disks have been reprocessed during major mergers in the past 8 Gyr.
Local and intermediate redshift (z~0.5) galaxy samples obey well correlated relations between the stellar population luminosity and maximal galaxy rotation that define the Tully-Fisher (TF) relation. Consensus is starting to be reached on the TF rela
tion at z~0.5, but work at significantly higher redshifts is even more challenging, and has been limited by small galaxy sample sizes, the intrinsic scatter of galaxy properties, and increasing observational uncertainties. We present here the TF measurements of 41 galaxies at relatively high redshift, spectroscopically observed with the Keck/DEIMOS instrument by the DEEP2 project, a survey which will eventually offer a large galaxy sample of the greatest depth and number yet achieved towards this purpose. The first-look sample analyzed here has a redshift range of 0.75<z<1.3 with <z>= 0.85 and an intrinsic magnitude range from M_B of -22.66 to -20.57 (Vega). We find that compared to local fiducial samples, a brightening of 1.5 magnitudes is observed, and consistent with passive evolutionary models.
We analyse the Tully-Fisher relation at moderate redshift from the point of view of the underlying stellar populations, by comparing optical and NIR photometry with a phenomenological model that combines population synthesis with a simple prescriptio
n for chemical enrichment. The sample comprises 108 late-type galaxies extracted from the FORS Deep Field (FDF) and William Herschel Deep Field (WHDF) surveys at z<1 (median redshift z=0.45). A correlation is found between stellar mass and the parameters that describe the star formation history, with massive galaxies forming their populations early (zFOR~3), with star formation timescales, tau1~4Gyr; although with very efficient chemical enrichment timescales (tau2~1Gyr). In contrast, the stellar-to-dynamical mass ratio - which, in principle, would track the efficiency of feedback in the baryonic processes driving galaxy formation - does not appear to correlate with the model parameters. On the Tully-Fisher plane, no significant age segregation is found at fixed circular speed, whereas at fixed stellar-to-dynamical mass fraction, age splits the sample, with older galaxies having faster circular speeds at fixed Ms/Mdyn. Although our model does not introduce any prior constraint on dust reddening, we obtain a strong correlation between colour excess and stellar mass.
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
DEIMOS on the Keck II telescope, multi-color HST ACS 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 2-3 less than in previous studies at intermediate redshift and comparable to that of locally-determined relations. With our increased precision, we find the relation is well-established by <z>~1, with no significant evolution to <z>~0.3, DeltaM_stellar ~ 0.04+/-0.07 dex. A clearer trend of evolution is seen in the B-band Tully-Fisher relation corresponding to a decline in luminosity of DeltaM_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.
