Disk Galaxy Kinematics Over the Last ~8 Gyrs Susan Kassin (Oxford) with Ben Weiner (Steward), Christopher Willmer (Steward), + DEEP2 Survey Team (Faber, Koo, Davis, Guhathakurta)
Data are from the DEEP2 Survey Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe - 2 (DEEP2) is a redshift survey done with the DEIMOS instrument on the Keck-2 telescope. PIs: Marc Davis, S. M. Faber, D. Koo, P. Guhathakurta >30,000 solid spectroscopic redshifts over 0.1 < z < 1.5 Magnitude limit of R AB < 24.1 DEEP2 consists of four fields, one field has one orbit depth Hubble imaging at V and I. Wavelength range ~ 6500-9100 Å. The [OII] 3727Å doublet is visible for 0.7 < z < 1.4. Spectral resolution R ~ 5000, 0.33 Å/pixel
Data are selected from the DEEP2 Survey to study the Tully-Fisher relation The final sample is selected essentially on magnitude (R AB < 24.1) and emission line strength. Primary requirements: z <1.2 Emission lines required to have total counts > 1500 e-/a => Flux (corrected for slit losses) =1e-17 ergs/s/cm 2 Hubble images (deeper than the spectral survey) 1692 galaxies Secondary requirements: Spectrographic slits within 40 º of major axes of galaxies (Weiner, SAK et al. 2006, Fig 13) 30 º < inclination < 70 º to get reliable V rot and avoid dust effects 755 galaxies Tertiary requirements: Interference with sky lines, Instrument artifacts 544 galaxies used for Tully-Fisher analysis

New Kinematic quantity combining rotation velocity and integrated velocity dispersion Given a potential created by dark matter and stars and a spherically symmetric tracer population (gas); assume the gas is distributed as a powerlaw with density ρ r -α and isotropic σ. If V rot varies slowly with radius, then σ = V rot / α (Binney & Tremaine 1987). Therefore, we adopt the kinematic quantity: S K 2 KV rot 2 + σ 2 where K=1/α. S K is a good combined velocity scale. Galaxies generally have stellar/gas distributions with α=2 3, this implies K=0.3 0.5. We choose K=0.5, or S 0.5. (Binney & Tremaine 1987; Ben Weiner, SAK et al. 2006; Covington, SAK et al. 2010)

Conclusions 1. V rot M * Tully-Fisher Relation has large scatter to low V ( rot ~ 1 dex) due to disturbed and compact galaxies. Most studies have selected only rotationdominated galaxies, biasing their results! 2. S 0.5 M * Tully-Fisher Relation is: Tight (intrinsic scatter < ~ 0.1 dex) ~ Independent of morphology: fundamental to all types of galaxies Non-evolving to z=1.2 Coincident with Faber-Jackson This is an interesting regularity that we have yet to fully understand! Sigma is important! 3. Both Vrot and S0.5 Relations Reproduced by SPH Merger Simulations. (Covington, SAK et al. 2010) 4. Galaxies likely approximately virialized since at least ~ 8 Gyrs ago. 5. Evidence for disk settling.
