We present spatially resolved stellar kinematic maps, for the first time, for a sample of 17 intermediate redshift galaxies (0.2 < z < 0.8). We used deep MUSE/VLT integral field spectroscopic observations in the Hubble Deep Field South…
Massive disk galaxies like the Milky Way are expected to form at late times in traditional models of galaxy formation, but recent numerical simulations suggest that such galaxies could form as early as a billion years after the Big Bang…
We present new HI observations of the nearby massive spiral galaxy M83, taken with the VLA at $21^{\prime\prime}$ angular resolution ($\approx500$ pc) of an extended ($\sim$1.5 deg$^2$) 10-point mosaic combined with GBT single dish data. We…
We confirm, quantify, and provide a table of the coherent velocity substructure of the Milky Way disk within 2 kpc of the Sun towards the Galactic anticenter, with 0.2 kpc resolution. We use the radial velocities of ~340,000 F-type stars…
We describe hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation in a Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology performed using a subresolution model for star formation and feedback in a multiphase interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, we…
We identify some of the most HI massive and fastest rotating disk galaxies in the local universe with the aim of probing the processes that drive the formation of these extreme disk galaxies. By combining data from the Cosmic Flows project,…

In this letter we present the first 3D spectroscopic study of H-alpha emission in a z ~ 1 field galaxy with an integral field unit. Using the CIRPASS spectrograph on Gemini-South we map the spatial and velocity distribution of H-alpha…
We report the discovery of a 20-kpc-sized H{\alpha} emission in SDSS J083803.68+540642.0, a ringed dwarf galaxy (M$_V$ = -17.89 mag) hosting an accreting intermediate-mass black hole at z=0.02957. Analysis of the HST images indicates that…
We present the first metallicity gradient measurement for a grand-design face-on spiral galaxy at z~1.5. This galaxy has been magnified by a factor of 22$\times$ by a massive, X-ray luminous galaxy cluster MACS\,J1149.5+2223 at z=0.544.…
Context. The study of high redshift Tully-Fisher relations (TFRs) is limited by the use of long slit spectrographs, rest frame B band and star formation selected galaxies. Aims. We try to circumvent these issues by using integral field…

Spatially resolved velocity profiles are presented for nine faint field galaxies in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1, based on moderate-resolution spectroscopy obtained with the Keck 10 m telescope. These data were augmented with…
While bright, blue, compact galaxies are common at $\rm z \sim 1$, they are relatively rare in the local universe, and their evolutionary paths are uncertain. We have obtained resolved H I observations of nine $\rm z \sim 0$ luminous…
