We present a observational study of the dark matter fraction in 225 rotation supported star-forming galaxies at $zapprox 0.9$ having stellar mass range: $ 9.0 leq log(M_* mathrm{M_odot}) leq 11.0$ and star formation rate: $0.49 leq log left(SFR mathrm{[M_{odot} yr^{-1}]} right) leq 1.77$. This is a sub sample of KMOS redshift one spectroscopic survey (KROSS) previously studied by citet{GS20}. The stellar masses ($M_*$) of these objects were previously estimated using mass-to-light ratios derived from fitting the spectral energy distribution of the galaxies. Star formation rates were derived from the H$_alpha$ luminosities. The total gas masses ($M_{gas}$) are determined by scaling relations of molecular and atomic gas citep[][respectively] {Tacconi2018, Lagos2011}. The dynamical masses ($M_{dyn}$) are directly derived from the rotation curves (RCs) at different scale lengths (effective radius: $R_e$, $sim 2 R_e$ and $sim 3 R_e$) and then the dark matter fractions ($f_{ DM }=1-M_{bar}/M_{dyn}$) at these radii are calculated. We report that at $zsim 1$ only a small fraction ($sim 5%$) of our sample has a low ($< 20%$) DM fraction within $sim$ 2-3 $R_e$. The majority ($> 72%$) of SFGs in our sample have dark matter dominated outer disks ($sim 5-10$ kpc) in agreement with local SFGs. Moreover, we find a large scatter in the fraction of dark matter at a given stellar mass (or circular velocity) with respect to local SFGs, suggesting that galaxies at $z sim 1$, a) span a wide range of stages in the formation of stellar disks, b) have diverse DM halo properties coupled with baryons.

We report high quality, Halpha or CO rotation curves (RCs) to several Re for 41 large, massive, star-forming disk galaxies (SFGs), across the peak of cosmic galaxy evolution (z~0.67-2.45), taken with the ESO-VLT, the LBT and IRAM-NOEMA. Most RC41 SFG s have reflection symmetric RCs plausibly described by equilibrium dynamics. We fit the major axis position-velocity cuts with beam-convolved, forward modeling with a bulge, a turbulent rotating disk, and a dark matter (DM) halo. We include priors for stellar and molecular gas masses, optical light effective radii and inclinations, and DM masses from abundance matching scaling relations. Two-thirds or more of the z>1.2 SFGs are baryon dominated within a few Re of typically 5.5 kpc, and have DM fractions less than maximal disks (<fDM (Re)>=0.12). At lower redshift (z<1.2) that fraction is less than one-third. DM fractions correlate inversely with the baryonic angular momentum parameter, baryonic surface density and bulge mass. Inferred low DM fractions cannot apply to the entire disk & halo but more plausibly reflect a flattened, or cored, inner DM density distribution. The typical central DM deficit in these cores relative to NFW distributions is ~30% of the bulge mass. The observations are consistent with rapid radial transport of baryons in the first generation massive gas rich halos forming globally gravitationally unstable disks, and leading to efficient build-up of massive bulges and central black holes. A combination of heating due to dynamical friction and AGN feedback may drive DM out of the initial cusps.

We present results from IROCKS (Intermediate Redshift OSIRIS Chemo-Kinematic Survey) for sixteen z~1 and one z~1.4 star-forming galaxies. All galaxies were observed with OSIRIS with the laser guide star adaptive optics system at Keck Observatory. We use rest-frame nebular Ha emission lines to trace morphologies and kinematics of ionized gas in star-forming galaxies on sub-kiloparsec physical scales. We observe elevated velocity dispersions (sigma > 50 km/s) seen in z > 1.5 galaxies persist at z~1 in the integrated galaxies. Using an inclined disk model and the ratio of v/sigma, we find that 1/3 of the z~1 sample are disk candidates while the other 2/3 of the sample are dominated by merger-like and irregular sources. We find that including extra attenuation towards HII regions derived from stellar population synthesis modeling brings star formation rates (SFR) using Ha and stellar population fit into a better agreement. We explore properties of compact Ha sub-component, or clump, at z~1 and find that they follow a similar size-luminosity relation as local HII regions but are scaled-up by an order of magnitude with higher luminosities and sizes. Comparing the z~1 clumps to other high-redshift clump studies, we determine that the clump SFR surface density evolves as a function of redshift. This may imply clump formation is directly related to the gas fraction in these systems and support disk fragmentation as their formation mechanism since gas fraction scales with redshift.

The KMOS Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS) is an ESO guaranteed time survey of 795 typical star-forming galaxies in the redshift range z=0.8-1.0 with the KMOS instrument on the VLT. In this paper we present resolved kinematics and star format ion rates for 584 z~1 galaxies. This constitutes the largest near-infrared Integral Field Unit survey of galaxies at z~1 to date. We demonstrate the success of our selection criteria with 90% of our targets found to be Halpha emitters, of which 81% are spatially resolved. The fraction of the resolved KROSS sample with dynamics dominated by ordered rotation is found to be 83$pm$5%. However, when compared with local samples these are turbulent discs with high gas to baryonic mass fractions, ~35%, and the majority are consistent with being marginally unstable (Toomre Q~1). There is no strong correlation between galaxy averaged velocity dispersion and the total star formation rate, suggesting that feedback from star formation is not the origin of the elevated turbulence. We postulate that it is the ubiquity of high (likely molecular) gas fractions and the associated gravitational instabilities that drive the elevated star-formation rates in these typical z~1 galaxies, leading to the ten-fold enhanced star-formation rate density. Finally, by comparing the gas masses obtained from inverting the star-formation law with the dynamical and stellar masses, we infer an average dark matter to total mass fraction within 2.2$r_e$ (9.5kpc) of 65$pm$12%, in agreement with the results from hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation.
We analyse the structure of galaxies with high specific star formation rate (SSFR) in cluster and field environments in the redshift range $0.5<z<1.0$. Recent studies have shown that these galaxies are strongly depleted in dense environments due to r apid environmental quenching, giving rise to post-starburst galaxies (PSBs). We use effective radii and Sersic indices as tracers of galaxy structure, determined using imaging from the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). We find that the high-SSFR galaxies that survive into the cluster environment have, on average, larger effective radii than those in the field. We suggest that this trend is likely to be driven by the most compact star-forming galaxies being preferentially quenched in dense environments. We also show that the PSBs in clusters have stellar masses and effective radii that are similar to the missing compact star-forming population, suggesting that these PSBs are the result of size-dependent quenching. We propose that both strong stellar feedback and the stripping of the extended halo act together to preferentially and rapidly quench the compact and low-mass star-forming systems in clusters to produce PSBs. We test this scenario using the stacked spectra of 124 high-SSFR galaxies, showing that more compact galaxies are more likely to host outflows. We conclude that a combination of environmental and secular processes is the most likely explanation for the appearance of PSBs in galaxy clusters.
Star formation occurs on physical scales corresponding to individual star forming regions, typically of order ~100 parsecs in size, but current observational facilities cannot resolve these scales within field galaxies beyond the local universe. Howe ver, the magnification from strong gravitational lensing allows us to measure the properties of these discrete star forming regions within galaxies in the distant universe. New results from multi-wavelength spectroscopic studies of a sample of extremely bright, highly magnified lensed galaxies are revealing the complexity of star formation on sub-galaxy scales during the era of peak star formation in the universe. We find a wide range of properties in the rest-frame UV spectra of individual galaxies, as well as in spectra that originate from different star forming regions within the same galaxy. Large variations in the strengths and velocity structure of Lyman-alpha and strong P Cygni lines such as C IV, and MgII provide new insights into the astrophysical relationships between extremely massive stars, the elemental abundances and physical properties of the nebular gas those stars ionize, and the galactic-scale outflows they power.
