We use rest-frame UV spectroscopy to investigate the properties related to large-scale gas outflows, and to the dust extinction and star-formation rates of a sample of z ~ 2 star-forming galaxies from the Galaxy Mass Assembly ultradeep Spectroscopic Survey (GMASS). Dust extinction is estimated from the rest-frame UV continuum slope and used to obtain dust-corrected star-formation rates for the galaxies of the sample. For the entire sample, a mean value of the continuum slope <beta> = -1.11 pm 0.44 (r.m.s.) was derived, while the average SFR was found to be <SFR> = 52 pm 48 M_sun/yr (r.m.s.). A positive correlation between SFR and stellar mass was observed, in agreement with other works, the logarithmic slope of the relation being 1.10 pm 0.10. Low-ionization absorption lines, associated with the interstellar medium, were found to be blueshifted, with respect to the rest frame of the system, which indicates that there is outflowing gas with typical velocities of the order of ~ 100 km/s. Finally, investigating correlations between galaxy UV spectral characteristics and galaxy general properties, we report a possible correlation between the equivalent width of the interstellar absorption lines and SFR, stellar mass, and colour excess similar to that seen to hold at different redshifts.
The properties of dust attenuation at rest-frame UV wavelengths are inferred from very high-quality FORS2 spectra of 78 galaxies from the GMASS survey at 1<z<2.5. These objects complement a previously investigated sample of 108 UV-luminous galaxies a
Context: Galaxy metallicities have been measured to redshift z~2 by gas-phase oxygen abundances of the interstellar medium using the R23 and N2 methods. Galaxy stellar metallicities provide crucial data for chemical evolution models but have not been
The aim of this work is to study the evolution of the rest frame color distribution of galaxies with the redshift, in particular in the critical interval 1.4<z<3. We combine ultradeep spectroscopy from the GMASS project (Galaxy Mass Assembly ultradee
We study large-scale outflows in a sample of 96 star-forming galaxies at 1<z<2, using near-UV spectroscopy of FeII and MgII absorption and emission. The average blueshift of the FeII interstellar absorption lines with respect to the systemic velocity
We combine ultradeep optical spectroscopy from the GMASS project (Galaxy Mass Assembly ultradeep Spectroscopic Survey) with GOODS multi-band photometry and HST imaging to study a sample of passive galaxiesat 1.39<z<1.99 selected at 4.5 microns. A sta
