(cf P.Padoan) • The linear slope of log(SFR) – log(M★) à sSFR universal at any given epoch • The break of the slope (initially interpreted as evidence for a sublinear slope) is probably evidence for bulge formation in the MS à slow “quenching of SF” • The fraction of outliers with high sSFR, i.e. starbursts, is small and does not vary with redshift à can be explained if relative impact of mergers is compressive turbulence whose relative role on highly turbulent gas rich distant galaxies is small.

  • Physique Nucléaire Et De L'instrumentation Associée Introduction
    FR0108546 # DEA-DAPNIA-RA-1997-98 A il. ..33/04 -DSM Département d'Astrophysique, de physique des Particules, de physique Nucléaire et de l'Instrumentation Associée Introduction Motivés par la curiosité pour les connaissances fondamentales et soutenus par des investissements impor- tants, les chercheurs du vingtième siècle ont fait des découvertes scientifiques considérables, sources de retombées économiques fructueuses. Une recherche ambitieuse doit se poursuivre. Organisé pour déve- lopper les grands programmes pour le nucléaire et par le nucléaire, le CEA est bien armé pour concevoir et mettre au point les instruments destinés à explorer, en coopération avec les autres organismes de recherche, les confins de l'infiniment petit et ceux de l'infinimenf grand. La recherche fondamentale évolue et par essence ne doit pas avoir de frontières. Le Département d'astrophysique, de physique des particules, de physique nucléaire et de l'instrumentation associée (Dapnia) a été créé pour abolir les cloisons entre la physique nucléaire, la physique des particules et l'as- trophysique, tout en resserrant les liens entre physiciens, ingénieurs et techniciens au sein de la Direction des sciences de la matière (DSM). Le Dapnia est unique par sa pluridisciplinarité. Ce regroupement a permis de lancer des expériences se situant aux frontières de ces disciplines tout en favorisant de nou- velles orientations et les choix vers les programmes les plus prometteurs. Tout en bénéficiant de l'expertise d'autres départements du CEA, la recherche au Dapnia se fait princi- palement au sein de collaborations nationales et internationales. Les équipes du Dapnia, de I'IN2P3 (Institut national de physique nucléaire et de physique des particules) et de l'Insu (Institut national des sciences de l'Univers) se retrouvent dans de nombreuses grandes collaborations internationales, chacun apportant ses compétences spécifiques afin de renforcer l'impact de nos contributions.

He got the Chretien Award from the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in 2000. Abstract There are many reasons to believe that the physics of galaxy/star formation is a complex process involving turbulence, multiphase physics, magnetic fields, shocks, mergers, environment effects, positive/negative feedback. Yet, early-type galaxies which contain the bulk of present-day stars follow some relatively simple scaling laws.In recent years, it has been found that even star forming galaxies at all epochs follow some simple laws - such as the correlation of their star formation rate and stellar mass in a given redshift slice of the Universe - that help understanding the basic mechanisms through which their formed the bulk of their stars.

  • Understanding Galaxy Formation with ISO Deep Surveys*
    Understanding galaxy formation with ISO deep surveys £ David Elbaz = = CEA Saclay =DSM DAPNIA Service d’Astrophysique Orme des Merisiers, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex France Abstract. We present the results obtained through the various ISO extragalactic deep surveys. While IRAS revealed the existence of galaxies forming stars at a rate of a few tens (LIRGs) or even hundreds (ULIRGs) solar masses in the local universe, ISO not only discovered that these galaxies were already in place at redshift one, but also that they are not the extreme objects that we once believed them to be. Instead they appear to play a dominant role in shaping present-day galaxies as reflected by their role in the cosmic history of star formation and in producing the cosmic infrared background detected by the COBE satellite in the far infrared to sub-millimeter range. Keywords: Deep surveys - infrared - galaxy formation Received: 26 July 2004, Accepted: 12 September 2004 1. General perspective It is widely accepted that in the local universe stars form in giant molec- ular clouds (GMCs) where their optical and mostly UV light is strongly absorbed by the dust which surrounds them. Whether extinction was already taking place in the more distant universe where galaxies are less metal rich was less obvious ten years ago. Galaxies forming stars at a rate larger than 1 about 20 M¬ yr were known to radiate the bulk of their luminosity above > ´ = µ 5 µm thanks to IRAS, the so-called luminous (LIRGs, 12 log LIR L ¬ ´ = µ 11) and ultra-luminous (ULIRGs, log LIR L ¬ 12) infrared (IR) galaxies.

  • ISOCAM Deep Surveys and the Cosmic Infrared Background David Elbaz
    Highlights of Astronomy, Vol. 12 International Astronomical Union, 2002 H. Rickman, ed. ISOCAM Deep Surveys and the Cosmic Infrared Background David Elbaz CEA -Saclay/DAPNl'A/Service d 'A strophysique University of California, Santa Cruz: Physics Department & UCO/Lick Observatory Abstract. The steep slope of the ISOCAM 15 fim number counts in­ dicates that infrared galaxies have strongly evolved since z ~ 1 — 1.5. A nearly complete spectroscopic sample of ISOCAM galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN) shows that their redshift distribution is peaked around z ~ 0.8. We show that the 7 (j,m luminosity of local galaxies is cor­ related with their 8-1000/xm luminosity, and therefore star formation rate (SFR). We use this correlation in the rest-frame of the ISOCAM galaxies to deduce their IR luminosities (~ 4 x 1011 LQ), SFR (~ 80 MQyr-1) and contribution to the peak of the cosmic IR background (CIRB) at 140 ^m. We find that they most probably produce the bulk of the CIRB. 1. Introduction: Identification and Nature of the ISOCAM Galaxies In Elbaz et al. (1999) we showed that the ISOCAM 15/um differential counts were much steeper than expected if the 15 /im luminosity function was to re­ main identical from z = 0 to larger redshifts. In the following, we discuss the identification and nature of the sources responsible for this evolution. The ISOCAM LW3 or 15 fxm band has a response which covers the range A = 11.5 to 17 /um and is centered at 14.3 /xm. The full width half maximum (FWHM) of the ISO point spread function (PSF) in this band is 4.6 arcsec.

To attempt to understand this relation, we hypothesize that the relation and its evolution is regulated by the increase in the stellar and gas mass surface density in galaxies with redshift, which is itself governed by the angular momentum of the accreted gas, the amount of available gas, and by self-regulation of star formation. With our model, we can reproduce the specific SFR− M? relations at z ∼ 1–2 by assuming gas fractions and gas mass surface densities similar to those observed for z = 1–2 galaxies. We further argue that it is the increasing angular momentum with cosmic time that causes a decrease in the surface density of accreted gas. The gas mass surface densities in galaxies are controlled by the centrifugal 3 support (i.e., angular momentum), and the sSFR is predicted to increase as, sSFR(z) = (1 + z) =tH0, as observed (where tH0 is the Hubble time and no free parameters are necessary).
