Structural Relations for Disks IIthe “Tully-Fisher” (1976) relation
• Tight LB/V vs vcirc relation historically exploited for distance estimates
• Tully-Fisher observations to constrain disk formation – Pizagno et al 2005– Complement SDSS info with
Hrotation curves for 250 galaxies
– Sample selection:
B/Dmass < 0.2; all colors

Let’s use look-back observations to tackle disk formation

Disk evolution with redshift: What might we expect?
• Sizes from Initial Angular Momentum (Fall and Efstathiou, 1980)
• Growth of Halos – Growth of Galaxies (Mo, Mao and White, 1998)
Rexp(M*) ~ M*1/3 x md
-4/3jd x H(z)-2/3
• When did the presently existing disks form?– 1/3 of all stars at z~0 are in disks– 40% of all stars (now) have formed since z~1 (mostly in
disks)– Majority of the Milky Way disk stars have formed in the last
7Gyrs
z~1 z~0 is the most important epoch for building today’s stellar disks
– Note: higher SFRs at z>0 higher surface brightness(?)
![Page 9: III. The Growth of Galaxy Disks and the Evolution of Galaxy Sizes](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681353a550346895d9c9f23/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

But first: some loreDisk Evolution from high-z to now
If stellar (disk) sizes reflect halo size + constant zobservation = zformation of halo
then Rd~H-1(z) for fixed vcirc(halo)
Rd~H-2/3(z) for fixed Mass(halo) Rd~H-1(z)
Rd=const (phys.)
Rd~H-2/3(z)
Ferguson et al 2004 GOODS
But what is observed?• UV-size = f(z)
in UV flux-limited sample
• Agreement likely fortuitous !?

HWRPrinceton, 2005
Observing Galaxy Size Evolution
• How does the currently observed
LV-Rd, M*-Rd, and LV-vc
evolve with redshift?
• Data Sets– GEMS: 2-band HST imaging + 10.000 redshifts (Barden et al
2005) 30x previous samples (Lilly et al ’98; Simard et al ’99)
– FIRES: JHK imaging (0.45”) + 6.000 redshifts (Trujillo et al 2003/5)
• Data/Analysis Issues– Understand the (surface brightness) selection function well– Measure sizes at constant rest-frame wavelength >4000A– Consistent tie-in to z~0 data

n<2.5
That’s our operative definition of disks == low concentration radial profile

Observed color gradients at z~0.5,1.0
• 2-bands HST images in GEMS check for color-gradients in distant disks
• Same gradients as local
Correction to rest-frame V is straightforward
Difference Rd(mass) and Rd(V) is constant with z

Size-evolution from z~2.5 to z~0
Trujillo et al 2005
At a given (V-band) luminosity,galaxies were about 2.5x smaller at z~2.5 than now.
At a given stellar mass, they were only 1.4x smaller than now.
Galaxies at high-z were bigger than the naïve halo-scalings leadus to expect!

But while NFW halos were denser (within the virial radius) at high-z, they had lower concentrations..

The Role of Bars Should we expect radial re-distribution due to
internal processes?
How prevalent/strong were bars in the past?
Claim (Abraham et al 1999):
Bars only appear at z~0.6 (in HDF)
Analysis of bar frequency in GEMS
•algorithmic bar detection
•Accounting for (1+z)4
•local comparison sample

Bars in GEMSJogee, Rix, et al 2004
•Abundance and strength of bars seems not to have changed since z~1
•In nSersic<2.5 selected galaxies

HWRPrinceton, 2005
Summary
• spheroids and disks at high-z (0.5-2.5) seem to live on the same locus in the M*,R,() plane
• Evolution of this locus in the LV,R plane, reflects changes in stellar mass-to-light ratio
This argues for galaxies evolving along those relations.
(?) disks grow “inside out”, along R(M)~M1/3
If disks were to grow in mass along with their halos, Rd(M) ~ H-1(z) or H-2/3(z),
we would have expected them to be smaller at high-z than observed.

Open Issues / Next Steps
• Technicalities:– Get more dynamical masses (vz SED masses)– Exploit the potential of IRAC on Spitzer for rest-frame near-
IR selection.– Get much more comprehensive merger rate estimates
• Avenues– Modelling lagging consideraby behind the wealth of new
data– Look-back studies of the “environment’s” role in galaxy
evolution.– Host galaxies at high-z (vs normal): a key to understanding
BH growth
